This chapter describes the functions and operation of the Magnum 6K25 Switch.
4.1Switching Functionality
A Magnum 6K25 provides switched connectivity at Ethernet
among all of its ports. The Magnum 6K25 supports10/100Mbs for copper media and 10 or 100Mb separate traffic domains for fiber ports to maximize bandwidth utilization and network performance. All ports can communicate to all other ports in a Magnum 6K25, but local traffic on a port will not consume any of the bandwidth on any other port.
Magnum 6K25 units are
Filtering and Forwarding
Each time a packet arrives on one of the switched ports, the decision is taken to either filter or to forward the packet. Packets whose source and destination addresses are on the same port segment will be filtered, constraining them to that one port and relieving the rest of the network from having to process them. A packet whose destination address is on another port segment will be forwarded to the appropriate port, and will not be sent to the other ports where it is not needed. Traffic needed for maintaining the operation of the network (such as occasional
