INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast

Features

The Switch was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of user increase continuously.

The Switch with its small, compact size was specifically designed for small to middle workgroups. This Switch can be installed where space is limited; moreover, they provide immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user-reliable functions.

The Switch is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups. With the highest bandwidth 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion- free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.

The Switch is expandable by cascading two or more switches together. As all ports support 200Mbps, the Switch can be cascaded from any port and to any number of switches.

The Switch is a perfect choice for site planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switch now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change the Switches or reconfigure the network.

The Switch combine dynamic memory allocation with store - and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port, while controlling the data flow between
