In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-effective method to take advantage of today and tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and routing internetworking technologies. And with expected advances in the coming years in silicon technology and digital signal processing that will enable Gigabit Ethernet to eventually operate over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling, outfitting your network with a powerful 1000-Mbps- capable backbone/server connection creates a flexible foundation for the next generation of network technology products.

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 guarantees cost-effective and high performance Fast Ethernet solutions.

100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a 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.

GSW-1674T, GSW-2474T specifications

The LevelOne GSW-2474T and GSW-1674T are cutting-edge managed Gigabit Ethernet switches that are designed to meet the demanding networking needs of modern businesses. These switches are ideal for organizations that require robust performance, high reliability, and advanced features to support their growing networks.

The GSW-2474T is a 24-port gigabit switch that offers a combination of Layer 2 switching capabilities and extensive management features. It includes 24 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, allowing for seamless integration of multiple devices with high-speed connectivity. Additionally, it supports IEEE 802.3x flow control, ensuring efficient data transmission and preventing packet loss. One of the key features of the GSW-2474T is its support for VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) configuration, which provides network segmentation and improved security by isolating traffic types within the same physical infrastructure.

On the other hand, the GSW-1674T is a versatile 16-port gigabit switch that shares many similarities with the GSW-2474T. It also supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections, making it a powerful option for smaller networks or branch offices. This switch is equipped with advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS) functionality, which prioritizes network traffic and enhances the performance of critical applications like VoIP and streaming media.

Both models feature a user-friendly web-based interface for easy management and configuration, allowing network administrators to monitor traffic, configure settings, and troubleshoot issues with minimal effort. They also support SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), enabling integration with network management tools for real-time monitoring and reporting.

Another significant aspect of these switches is their energy efficiency. They comply with the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard, reducing power consumption during periods of low traffic without compromising performance.

In terms of reliability, both switches offer a robust metal housing for durability and ensure uninterrupted operation through a fanless design, resulting in silent operation. These features make the LevelOne GSW-2474T and GSW-1674T excellent choices for various networking environments, from small businesses to larger enterprise setups. Their feature-rich design, high performance, and reliability make them invaluable assets in any modern network infrastructure.
