INTRODUCTION
The LevelOne GSW-1601/2401TX 16/24 Port 10/100/1000Mbps
Switch with Gigabit option is designed to allow simultaneous
transmission of multiple packets via an internal high-speed data
channel. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than
bridges or routers in most environments.
The LevelOne GSW-1601/2401TX 16/24 Port 10/100/1000Mbps
Switch with Gigabit option is equipped with Category 5 copper cable or
fiber optic cable for uplinking to a network backbone or network server.
It is compatible with all 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps Ethernet
environments. The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by
Gigabit Ethernet will support faster and more users applications with
generating more traffic.
In addition, the LevelOne GSW-1601/2401TX 16/24 Port
10/100/1000Mbps Switch with Gigabit option is also support one
module slot for 2 Ethernet Gigabit ports to uplink to a server or network
backbone. These Gigabit Switches are designed for Plug and Play
installation, allows the network administrator to simply connect the
network and power cables and the Switching/bridging functions begin
automatically.
The front panel of these Gigabit Switches provide LEDs for easy
recognition of the switch operation status and for troubleshooting.
These LEDs display the power status for the system and link/ speed/
collision, full-duplex, transmit and receive status for each port.
The built-in console interface can be used to configure the Switch’s
setting for Priority queuing, VLAN, and Port Trunk Groups, Port
Monitoring and Port Speed.

distinguish the speed of incoming connection.
This section describes the hardware features of these Gigabit
Switches. For easier management and control of the switch, familiarize
yourself with its display indicators, and ports. Front panel illustrations
in this chapter display the unit LED indicators. Before connecting any
network device to the hub, read this chapter carefully

Twisted-Pair Ports
Use any of these ports to connect stations or hubs to the
switch. These ports are MDI-X ports, which means you can
use ordinary straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect the
switch to PCs, workstations, or servers through these ports.
If you need to connect to another device with MDI-X ports such
as another switch or hub, you should use a crossover cable, or
connect using the Uplink port (described below).

Purpose:
Each port of the switch can be assigned to one or multiple VLANs(this
device can be divided into 24 VLANs maximum). Frames from the
source port will only be forwarded to destination ports within the same
VLAN domain. A broadcast/multicast frame will be forwarded to all
ports within the VLAN(s) of the source port except the source port
itself.
An unicast frame will be forwarded to the destination port only if the
destination port is in the same VLAN as the source port. If the
destination port belongs to the another VLAN, the frame will be
discarded .Each port should be assigned with a dedicated uplink port.
Unicast frames with unknown destination addresses will be forwarded
to the uplink port of the source port. An uplink port can either be a
single port or a trunk.

Uplink Port
Entry:
Select “5” from Main Menu.
Purpose:
The uplink port provides a way to connect the switch with a repeater
hub, a workgroup switch, a router, or any type of interconnecting
device compliance with IEEE 802.3 standards. Switch will send all
frames with unmatched DA and multicast/broadcast frames to the
uplink port. It is very important that each port is assigned to an uplink
port, or data frames might be lost. The uplink port should be configured
to be within the same VLAN as the source port. If the uplink port is not
a member of the VLAN, the broadcast or multicast frames will not be
forwarded to its designated uplink port. Multiple VLANs can share the
same uplink port.

Switch Operation
Address Table
The LevelOne 16/24 Port 10/100/1000Mbps Switch with Gigabit option
is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of
many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of
some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This
information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch..
Learning
When one packet comes in from any port. The LevelOne 16/24 Port
10/100/1000Mbps Switch with Gigabit option will record the source
address, port no. and the other related information in address table.
This information will be used to decide either forwarding or filtering for
future packets.
Forwarding & Filtering
When one packet comes from some port of the Ethernet Switching, it
will also check the destination address besides the source address
learning. The Ethernet Switching will lookup the address-table for the
destination address. If not found, this packet will be forwarded to all the
other ports except the port which this packet comes in. And these ports
will transmit this packet to the network it connected. If found, and the
destination address is located at different port from this packet comes
in, the Ethernet Switching will forward this packet to the port where this
destination address is located according to the information from
address table. But, if the destination address is located at the same
port with this packet comes in, then this packet will be filtered. Thereby

increasing the network throughput and availability
Store-and-Forward
Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques.
A
Store-and Forward Ethernet Switching stores the incoming frame in an
internal buffer, do the complete error checking before transmission.
Therefore, no error packets occurrence, it is the best choice when a
network needs efficiency and stability.
The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the
packet-header, searches the routing table provided for the incoming
port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding
makes the switch attractive for connecting servers directly to the
network, thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the
switch is most commonly used to segment existing hubs, which nearly
always improves overall performance. A Ethernet Switching can be
easily configured in any Ethernet network environment to significantly
boost bandwidth using conventional cabling and adapters.
Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switching, the source
address and corresponding port number of each incoming and
outgoing packet are stored in a routing table. This information is
subsequently used to filter packets whose destination address is on
the same segment as the source address. This confines network traffic
to its respective domain, reducing the overall load on the network.
The Gigabit Switch performs "Store and forward" therefore, no error
packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No
packet loss will occur.
Auto-Negotiation
The STP ports on the Gigabit Switch have built-in “Auto-negotiation”.
This technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a
connection is established with another network device (usually at
Power On or Reset). This is done by detect the modes and speeds at
the second of both device is connected and capable of, Both 10Base-T
and 100Base-TX devices can connect with the port in either Half- or
Full-Duplex mode. 1000Base-TX and 1000Base-SX can only
connected Full-duplex mode.
