Switching Functions - Store-and-forward switching is used to forward traffic to
other ports. This scheme ensures data integrity and provides a clean data stream.
Flexible Configuration - This switch is not only designed to segment your network,
but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. It can
be used as a simple stand-alone switch; stacked up to four high; or connected with
standard repeater hubs, switches, or other network interconnection devices in
various configurations.
Media Expansion Options - You can use a Fast Ethernet fiber module to connect
to remote sites up to 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) away, or a Gigabit module to support
applications such as high-speed file servers, or for connecting to a collapsed Gigabit
backbone switch.
