  • Page 22: Introduction

    NTRODUCTION VERVIEW The SMCGS10C-Smart is a Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switch with 8 10/100/ 1000BASE-T ports, and 2 Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots, (see "Front Panel" on page 22, Ports 9-10). The switch also includes an SNMP-based management agent, which provides in- band access for managing the switch.
  • Page 23: Switch Architecture

    | Introduction HAPTER Overview Figure 2: Rear Panel 115-240Vac, 50-60Hz, 0.5A WITCH RCHITECTURE 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.

    | Introduction HAPTER Overview network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See "1000BASE-T Cable Requirements" on page 47.) Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically.

  • Page 28: Network Planning

    ETWORK LANNING NTRODUCTION TO WITCHING A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via non- crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. The switch has, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology.
