Switching, Address Learning

The LBH100A and LBH110A Series units have address table capacity of 2K node addresses, and are suitable for use in large networks. They are self-learning, so that as nodes are added or removed or moved from one segment to another, the LBH100- and LBH110- Series switch automatically keeps up with node locations.

An address-aging algorithm causes least-used addresses to fall out in favor of new frequently-used addresses. To reset the address buffer, cycle power down-and-up.

4.2 Auto-cross (MDIX), Auto-negotiation and Speed-sensing

The RJ-45 ports independently support auto-cross (MDI or MDIX) in auto- negotiation mode. No cross-over cable is needed. The ports do the auto-cross selection only during auto-negotiation, and it will not take effect if the port is in fixed mode (port #2 can be fixed to FDX on some models). Operation is according to the IEEE 802.3u standard.

When an RJ-45 cable connection is made, and each time a LINK is enabled, auto- negotiation takes place. The LBH100A and LBH110A Series advertises its capability for
