Page 17: Hispeed Switch
What is the HiSpeed Switch? The HiSpeed switch is a multiprotocol, Fast Ethernet workgroup switch than can be configured for up to 32 10/100 Mbps LAN switch ports, depending on the model. The HiSpeed switch maximizes performance in existing shared media LANs by allowing up to 32 separate collision domains on a per port basis. -
Page 18: Available Configurations
Provides a service port for console connection to locally or remotely configure and manage the switch Available Configurations The HiSpeed switch is available from the factory fully or partially populated. The expansion slot on the switch provides for field customization to meet the changing needs of the network. -
Page 19: Table 2-1. Base Model Configurations
The expansion modules can be installed in the field or at the factory prior to shipment. The HS150 switch models also have a PCI bus for the addition of an uplink module. The uplink module provides a dedicated connection to a server or network backbone. -
Page 20: Hs140/150-010 Model
The expansion slot is capable of accepting an additional 16 ports for a total of 32 ports per switch. Figure 2-1 shows an HS140-010 switch model with the expansion slot populated by an HS-150-010-16E (12 10BASE-T ports and four 10/100BASE-TX ports) expansion module and no uplink capability. -

Point-to-point network connections, such as DTE-to-switch ports, allow a file server to transmit frames to a switch while simultaneously receiving frames from the same switch. This two-way, non-CSMA/CD full-duplex communication allows an effective bandwidth of 200 Mbps between two devices. -
Page 32: Console Port
Console Port The console port has a DB-9 male connector used to connect a management terminal to the switch by means of a straight-through DB-9 to DB-9 standard serial port cable. Using a terminal, you can monitor the results of startup self-diagnostics, perform manual boot configuration and SNMP agent configuration, and customize your network using the supplied menus and screens. - Page 33 Draft Level—Hitachi Confidential Cabling to view and configure the console parameters.

Page 65: Troubleshooting At The Network Layer
Troubleshooting at the Network Layer IP (Internet Protocol) The HiSpeed switch supports IP (Internet Protocol), a widely used Network Layer protocol used by devices to communicate across a network. IP utilizes a 32-bit address structure to identify the network and node number. The three primary classes of IP addresses are as follows: Table 10-1. -
Page 66: Other Ip-Related Services
UDP are: DNS, TFTP, SNMP. RIP (Routing Information Protocol) The HiSpeed switch uses RIP, version 1, to route IP packets across VLANs. RIP, a distance vector protocol, computes the best path to the destination based on the least number of hops. -
Page 67: Route Cache Forwarding Vs. Ip Forwarding
Route Cache Forwarding vs. IP Forwarding The HiSpeed switch provides a fast data path for forwarding IP packets called Route Cache Forwarding. Only TCP/UDP traffic over IP is supported. To forward packets at a higher speed, a cache is maintained to store IP addresses and Layer 2 information. -

With FDDI Filtering, packets between FDDI-native devices are filtered at the FDDI Uplink, not at the switch’s bridging table. This method of filtering reduces the burden on the HiSpeed processor. If the FDDI ring is small and the number of native FDDI devices is limited, FDDI filtering is recommended. -
