ABOUT GSW-2476

Switch Architecture

The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

The switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. With store-and-forward switching, the entire packet must be received into a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network.

Network Management Options

The switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance” monitoring of network and port status. They also include a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its embedded management software.
