Long-term operating temperature
–5°C to +45°C (23°F to 113°F) at an altitude of 0 to 1800 m (0 to 5905.44 ft.)
Short-term operating temperature
-5°C to +50°C (23°F to 122°F) at an altitude of 0-1800 m (0-5905.44 ft.)
Restriction on the operating temperature variation rate
When the altitude is 1800–5000 m (5906–16404 ft.), the highest operating temperature reduces by 1°C (1.8°F) every time the altitude increases by 220 m (722 ft.).
The device can work for a short period of time when the operating temperature is beyond the normal range, but the following conditions must be met:
The operating temperature exceeds 45°C (113°F) for no more than 96 consecutive hours in a year.
The total time in which the operating temperature exceeds 45°C (113°F) in a year is less than or equal to 360 hours.
The number of times the operating temperature exceeds 45°C (113°F) is less than or equal to 15 in one year.
If any of the preceding conditions is not met, the device may be damaged or an unknown error may occur.
The device cannot start when the temperature is lower than 0°C (32°F). The maximum transmission distance of an optical module used for short-term operation cannot exceed 10 km.
When the QSFP-100G-ER4 or QSFP-100G-LR1 optical module is used, the operating temperature ranges from -5°C to +40°C (23°F to 104°F).

What is a Switch? A switch is a device that enables communication between two or more IT devices, such as computers, servers, printers, and more. It helps devices within a network share resources, including printers, file storage, internet access, and application processing. In simple terms, a switch acts as a "traffic hub" in a network.
Key Characteristics:
Intelligent Forwarding: Unlike a basic hub, a switch intelligently directs data packets only to the intended recipient device based on MAC addresses.
Efficient Communication: This targeted data transmission reduces unnecessary traffic, enhances network performance, and improves security within the local network.
Scalability: Switches come in various sizes, from small desktop models for home/office use to large modular switches for enterprise data centers.
Common Applications:
Connecting devices within a Local Area Network (LAN)
Building enterprise networks, data centers, or home networks
Supporting resource sharing and collaborative workflows
In summary, a switch is a fundamental networking device that efficiently manages and directs data flow, ensuring smooth and reliable communication between connected devices.
Core Functions of a Switch The primary functions of a switch include:
VLAN Segmentation – Enhances network security by isolating traffic into separate virtual networks.
Targeted Forwarding – Improves network performance by accurately identifying and forwarding data only to the intended destination device.
Traffic Control – Optimizes network reliability and stability through mechanisms like Quality of Service (QoS) and loop prevention (e.g., Spanning Tree Protocol).
Link Aggregation – Increases bandwidth and provides redundancy by combining multiple physical links into a single logical channel.
Working Principle of a Switch A switch operates at either the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) or the Network Layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model:
Layer 2 Switch: Forwards data based on MAC addresses.
Layer 3 Switch: Forwards data based on IP addresses.
A switch continuously learns the MAC addresses of connected devices and records them in its MAC address table. The core processes include:
Learning: Records the source MAC address and its corresponding port.
Forwarding: Precisely forwards frames to the destination port based on the target MAC address.
Flooding: If the target MAC address is not found in the table, the switch broadcasts the frame to all ports (except the source port).
Update: Periodically refreshes the MAC address table to ensure accuracy and remove stale entries.
