Features
The 2724/2824 hub provides the following set of features:
24 RJ-45 ports  allows 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s connections by autodetecting
the wire speed.
Stackable  lets you stack up to five hubs (four manageable 2724 hubs and
one managing 2824 hub) for up to 125 workstation connections. You can also
interconnect the 2724/2824 hubs with Netelligent 2524/2624 hubs.
Host/Target Design  allows manageable hubs (Model 2724) to be managed
by a single managing hub (Model 2824)
24 Bi-Colored LED Indicators  show port activity, port link, and port
disable/auto partition; other LEDs show collisions, the power supply status, and
the management status of the hub and the mode (10 or 100).
Backup Ports  provide redundant port connections for mission-critical
applications (for example, order entry PCs connected to a file server).
Intrusion Detection  provides a method of preventing unauthorized stations
from transmitting on the network.
Field-Upgradable Firmware  lets you upgrade the 2824 hub firmware using
XMODEM and TFTP downloads via the BOOTP/TFTP sequence, the VT100
interface, or through SNMP. VT100 and SNMP can occur through both in-band
and out-of-band (SLIP) connections.
4-group RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3 & 9)  allows remote monitoring and
gathering of network statistics without generating network traffic.
Compaq Netelligent Management Software  provides an easy-to-use
graphical interface for managing the hub.
SNMP management over IP and IPX  lets you monitor and manage the
hub via any industry-standard SNMP application, such as Compaq Netelligent
Management Software (provided at no extra charge with each unit).
VT100 interface  allows out-of-band (serial port) and in-band (Telnet)
management for setting numerous configuration parameters.
