GigaSwitch Cut Through Mapping

The GigaSwitch Cut Through Mapping table allows the user to enable or disable the Inbound or Outbound Cut Through Mapping application for each of the GigaSwitch Bridge Ports. The Cut Through Mapping feature allows packets with known IP addresses to travel through the GigaSwitch with out being temporarily stored within the GigaSwitch.

The default setting for each of the Bridge Ports is Enabled for both the

Inbound and Outbound Cut Through Mapping applications.
