Switching Method
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.
Management Options
This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for "at-a- glance"
monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a built-in network
management agent that allows the switch to be managed in-band using
SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3 and 9) protocols, with a Web browser, or
remotely via Telnet. It provides an RS-232 serial port (DB-9 connector) on
the front panel for out-of-band management. A PC may be connected to
this port for configuration and monitoring out-of band via a null-modem
cable. (See Appendix B: for wiring options.)
This switch provides a wide range of advanced performance-enhancing
features. Port-based and tagged VLANs, plus support for automatic
GVRP VLAN registration and IGMP multicast filtering, providing traffic
security and efficient use of network bandwidth. QoS priority queueing
ensures the minimum delay for moving real-time multimedia data across
the network. Flow control eliminates the loss of packets due to bottlenecks
caused by port saturation. Broadcast storm control prevents broadcast
traffic storms from engulfing the network. For a detailed description of the
advanced features, refer to the Management Guide.
