1 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter introduces the DFE-2600 series dual-speed stackable hubs, as well as giving some background information about the technology the hubs use. Product Description The D-Link DFE-2600 series dual-speed stackable Ethernet/Fast Ethernet hubs are designed to allow easy migration and integration between 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, while providing manageability and flexibility in cable connections. The DFE-2600 hubs can operate with either IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T

Dual-Speed Stackable Hubs User’s Guide In the basic configuration, the 10Mbps and 100Mbps segments are separate and do not intercommunicate. An optional DFE-260S switch module (in- cluded with the DFE-2616x, DFE-2624x, DFE-2616ix, and DFE-2624ix) can be installed in any hub in the stack, making it possible to transparently bridge between the 10Mbps and 100Mbps segments. In a managed hub stack, more than one DFE-260S module can be used to provide redundancy if the two modules are both in the pr

♦ Full hub stack and network management provided via an SNMP man- agement agent (DFE-2616i, DFE-2616ix, DFE-2624i, DFE-2624ix). ♦ An optional slide-in switch module allows bridging between 10Mbps and 100Mbps segments. Only one switch module is needed per stack, but managed hub stacks can make use of additional switch modules for redundancy. ♦ LED indicators for power, collisions, link, network activity, parti- tioning status, disable, operating speed (10 or 100Mbps) and network utilization. ♦ D

Dual-Speed Stackable Hubs User’s Guide Dual-Speed Ethernet Hub Technology Overview Dual-speed Ethernet hubs have been developed to make it simpler to plan networks containing both 10-Mbps Ethernet and 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet technologies, especially when network hosts are being gradually migrated to new Fast Ethernet connections. Ethernet and Fast Ethernet workgroups, also called collision domains, are configured in a star topology where all end-nodes (computers, servers, bridges, etc.) branch ou

Inspect the hub and all accompanying items. If any item is damaged or missing, report the problem to your D-Link dealer. Identifying External Components This section identifies all the major external components of the hub. Both the front and rear panels are shown, followed by a description of each panel fea- ture. The indicator panel is described in detail in the next chapter. Front Panel DFE-2624i / DFE-2624ix Front Panel DFE-2624 / DFE-2624x Front Panel DFE-2616i / DFE-2616ix Front Panel DF
