LevelOne GSW-2472TGX
1. Introduction
Welcome to the World of Network Switching. In the modern business society,
communication and information sharing are fundamental to our life. And computer
networks have proven to be one of the fastest ways of communication.
LevelOne GSW-2472TGX, 24Fast/2 Gigabit combo Web Smart Switch
, is a
multi-port Switch that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup
networks. This switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for
high-speed networking. The Switch is targeted at workgroup, department or backbone
computing environment.
LevelOne GSW-2472TGX features a “store-and-forward “ switching scheme. This
allows the switch to auto-learn and store source address in a 6K-entry MAC address
table.
LevelOne GSW-2472TGX supports
Auto MDI/MDIX
.
MDI
(Medium Dependent
Interface) Port is also called an "uplink port". The MDI port does not transmit cross and
receive lines, which is done by the regular ports (MDI
-
X ports) that connect to end
stations. In general,
MDI
means connecting to another Hub or Switch while
MDIX
means connecting to a workstation or PC. Therefore,
Auto MDI/MDIX
means that you
can connect to another Switch or workstation without changing non-crossover or
crossover cabling.
LevelOne GSW-2472TGX has 24 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports and 2
auto detect Giga port for higher connection speed.
