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
With a comprehensive array of LEDs, the switch provides “at a glance”
monitoring of network and port status. The switch can be managed over the
network with a web browser.
For a detailed description of the management features, refer to the Management
Guide.
DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE
10/100/1000BASE-T PORTS
The switch contains 8 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or
full duplex, and 1000 Mbps full duplex. Because all ports on the switch support
automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all
