version for GS2210-8 where 4.10 is the firmware trunk version, AASP identifies the GS2210-8 and

.0 is the first release of trunk version 4.10.

The GS2210-8HP, GS2210-24HP and GS2210-48HP come with a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)

feature. The GS2210-8HP, GS2210-24HP and 48HP supports the IEEE 802.3at High Power over

Ethernet (PoE) standard and IEEE 802.3af PoE standard.

Key feature differences between Switch models are as follows. Other features are common to all

models

The following table describes the PoE features of the Switch by model.

This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments.

1.1.1 Backbone Application

The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near

future. The Switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect

computers and servers directly to the Switch’s port or connect other switches to the Switch.

In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the

network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers

etc.
