Applications

Placement of the Switch

This Switch segments your network, significantly increasing both

bandwidth and throughput. Each port on the Switch can be attached

to any Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet device, such

as another switch, or a server’s network adapter. All ports operate

at 10/100Mbps full and half duplex, providing up to 200Mbps of

bandwidth to the attached device.

Bridging Functions

This Switch provides fully transparent bridging functions. It

automatically learns node addresses that are subsequently used to

filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address. When

traffic passes between devices attached to the same shared collision

domain, those packets are filtered from the Switch. But when traffic

must be passed between unique segments (i.e., different ports on the

Switch), the high-speed switching fabric forwards the packets at

near-zero latency.

Switching Functions

Store-and-forward switching is used to forward traffic to other ports.

This scheme ensures data integrity and provides a clean data stream.

Sample Application

This Switch is designed to operate as a small workgroup switch. It

can provide 10- or 100Mbps connections to workstations and to

high-speed servers. It can also provide a 100Mbps uplink to the

network backbone.
