INTRODUCTION  
This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some  
background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet  
switching technology.  
Fast Ethernet Technology  
The growing importance of LANs and the increasing  
complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the  
need for high performance networks. A number of high-speed  
LAN technologies have been proposed to provide greater  
bandwidth and improve client/server response times. Among  
them, 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive,  
smooth evolution from the current 10BASE-T technology.  
The non-disruptive and smooth evolution nature, and the  
dominating potential market base, virtually guarantee cost  
effective and high performance Fast Ethernet solutions in  
the years to come.  
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a new standard specified by the  
IEEE 802.3 LAN committee. It is an extension of the  
10Mbps Ethernet standard with the ability to transmit and  
receive data at 100Mbps, while maintaining the CSMA/CD  
Ethernet protocol. Since the 100Mbps Fast Ethernet is  
compatible with all other 10Mbps Ethernet environments, it  
provides a straightforward upgrade and takes advantage of  
the existing investment in hardware, software, and  
personnel training.

Switching Technology  
Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet  
technology is the development of switching technology. A  
switch bridge Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of  
the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected  
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.  
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total  
network capacity available to users on a local area network.  
A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading  
by dividing a local area network into different segments,  
which don’t compete with each other for network  
transmission capacity.  
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the  
individual segments. The switch, without interfering with  
any other segments, automatically forwards traffic that  
needs to go from one segment to another. By doing this the  
total network capacity is multiplied, while still maintaining  
the same network cabling and adapter cards.  
For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of  
eliminating problems of chaining hubs beyond the “two-  
repeater limit.” A switch can be used to split parts of the  
network into different collision domains, making it possible  
to expand your Fast Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter  
network diameter limit for 100BASE-TX networks. Switches  
supporting both traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps  
Fast Ethernet are also ideal for bridging between the  
existing 10Mbps networks and the new 100Mbps networks.

Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over  
the previous generation of network bridges, which were  
characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been  
used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router,  
the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively  
impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most  
kinds of local area network congestion problems.  
Features  
The Switches were designed for easy installation and high  
performance in an environment where traffic on the network  
and the number of user increase continuously.  
The Switches with its rack size is specifically designed for  
middle to large workgroups. These Switches provide  
immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a  
wide range of user-reliable functions.  
The Switches are ideal for deployment with multiple high-  
speed servers for shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps  
workgroups. With the highest bandwidth 200Mbps (100Mbps  
full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a  
congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the  
server.  
The Switches are expandable by cascading two or more  
switches together. As all ports support 200Mbps, the  
Switches can be cascaded from any port and to any number  
of switches.  
The Switches are a perfect choice for site planning to

upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future.  
Ethernet  
workgroups can connect to the Switches now, and change  
adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change  
the Switches or reconfigure the network.  
The Switches combine dynamic memory allocation with  
store-and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is  
effectively allocated for each port, while controlling the data  
flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee  
against all possible packet loss.  
The Switches are an unmanaged 10/100 Fast Ethernet  
Switch offering solutions in accelerating small Ethernet  
workgroup bandwidth. Other key features are:  
Auto-MDI function supports automatic MDI/MDIX  
crossover detection function gives true ‘plug and play’  
capability without the need of confusing crossover  
cables or crossover ports.  
Store and forward switching scheme capability. As  
the result of complete frame checking and error frame  
filtering, this scheme prevents error packages from  
transmitting among segments.  
NWay Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for  
auto-sensing of speed (10/100Mbps) thereby providing  
you with automatic and flexible solutions in your  
network connections.  
Flow control for any port. This minimizes dropped  
packets by sending out collision signals when the  
port’s receiving buffer is full. Note that flow control

Port Speed & Duplex Mode  
After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the  
system uses auto-negotiation to determine the transmission  
mode for any new twisted-pair connection:  
If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation or  
has auto-negotiation disabled, an auto-sensing process is  
initiated to select the speed and set the duplex mode to half-  
duplex.
