Product Overview

The features of this product are briefly described below.

Features

The N8406-022A 1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch is a Switch Module for the Blade Enclosure. The Switch Module is used

to connect the CPU Blade to an external network through the Ethernet port. The Switch Module has 16 ports

dedicated to the CPU Blade, 2 ports dedicated to communication between two Switch Modules that are inserted in

adjacent Switch Module slots, 5 uplink ports, and one port dedicated to a management network.

This switch has two switch software images. One image is the conventional L2 switch software. The other is called

the SmartPanel, on which the number and type of configuration options are restricted to reduce the initial setup

complexity and to minimize the impact on upstream networking devices.

You can select which software image you want to run in switch memory.

Note that you cannot use the 2 ports dedicated to communication between two Switch Modules in the SmartPanel

mode.
