1INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The DG-FS4528E switch is a intelligent switch with 24 10/100BASE-T ports, and
four Gigabit combination ports1that are comprised of an RJ-45 port and an SFP
transceiver slot. There is also an SNMP-based management agent embedded on
the main board. This agent supports both in-band and out-of-band access for
managing the switch.
This switch provides a broad range of powerful features for Layer 2 switching,
delivering reliability and consistent performance for your network traffic. It
brings order to poorly performing networks by segregating them into separate
broadcast domains with IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLANs, and empower
multimedia applications with multicast switching and CoS services.
