1 Introduction
The EX-3524 and EX-3548 are Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switches with either 24 or 48 10/100/1000-BASE-T ports,
and four Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots for fiber connectivity. The switches are built with
leading-edge technology to deliver reliable high-performance connectivity for your data network.
All of the 10/100/1000 Mbps ports on the switches support both the IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at-2009 PoE
standards.
Each switch also includes an SNMP-based management agent, which provides both in-band and out-of-band
access for managing the switch.
This document is written for the professional installer deploying EX-3524 and EX-3548 switches.
