WS 2224 is a modularized hi-performance workgroup or enterprise-edge switch, with 24 Fast Ethernet ports and 2 expansion slots for Gigabit connections. WS 2224 can connect all (Fast) Ethernet devices so that user investment is protected. The hi-speed connection it provides among workgroups can boost the capability of server clusters, and overcome the bottleneck caused by increasing users and limited bandwidth, making network resources more readily available to users. More importantly, all of the advantages are brought to you by WS at low costs and with easy maintenance.

 

·      Hi-performance inter-workgroup or enterprise-edge switching

 

 

·      24 Gbps switch fabric, congestion-less design, all wire-speed forwarding rate

·      80-km transfer by Gigabit optical fiber, direct connection to WAN

 

·      Quota system for connected hosts per port

·      IEEE 802.1x port-based user authentication

·      Port trunking adds to bandwidth and redundancy

 

·      Automatic recognition for straight-through or cross-over cables

·      Stackable physically and through cluster technology. Central management with unified IP address saves IP addresses
