Netelligent 5506 and 5606 100Base-T Switches
Key Concept: Cost-effective 100 Mb/s solution with full management support
Compaq Netelligent 5506 100Base-T switches offer cost-effective, high-performance solutions for
increasing bandwidth demands and mission-critical networking applications. The managed 5606
switch supports RMON, spanning tree, and VLAN, as well as IP, IPX, remote management, and
VT100/Telnet management – ideal as “collapsed backbone” connecting Fast Ethernet workgroups
10/100 switches, and direct, full-duplex connections to servers for maximum performance. Both,
the unmanaged 5506 and the managed 5606 6-port switches support 100Base-TX and 100Base-
FX (SC type) media.
•
Half- or full-duplex connection options enable the switch to connect to other equipment at
half-duplex for normal 100Base-T speeds or full-duplex, which provides twice the normal
100Base-T bandwidth
•
The m anaged 5606 switch supports Telnet, spanning tree, RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, and 9),
roving monitor port, Level 1 and 2 VLAN, SNMP management, management application,
and out-of-band management
•
Each port can handle up to 6000 MAC addresses for maximum configuration and design
flexibility
•
256K memory buffer on each port ensures reliable operation when transmitting large packet
bursts at high transmission rates inherent to Fast Ethernet
•
Congestion management technology optimizes performance during high network load
•
Removable/replaceable modular power supply automatically senses voltage (110-220 VAC)
and frequency (50/60 Hz)
•
Load-sharing, hot-swappable redundant power supply option helps protect against down time
