Switch Architecture
The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This
permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low
latency on all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all
ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
The switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data
integrity. With store-and-forward switching, the entire packet must be
received into a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded.
This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network.
Network Management Options
The switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance”
monitoring of network and port status. They also include a management
agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its
embedded management software, or via SNMP applications. To manage
each switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port
(out-of-band), or SNMP-based network management software.
For a detailed description of switch’s advanced features, refer to the
Management Guide.
