    NTRODUCTION VERVIEW This Fast Ethernet Switch is an intelligent multilayer switch (Layer 2/3/4) with 24 10/100BASE-TX ports, two 10/100/1000BASE-T combination ports that are shared with SFP transceiver slots (Ports 25-26), and two SFP slots. This switch can easily tame your network with full support for Spanning Tree Protocol, Multicast Switching, Virtual LANs, and IP routing.
  • Page 24 | Introduction HAPTER Overview WITCH RCHITECTURE This Fast Ethernet 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. For communications between different VLANs, this switch uses IP routing.

    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.

    | Network Planning HAPTER Application Examples VLAN C AKING ONNECTIONS This switch supports VLANs which can be used to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks. This provides a more secure and cleaner network environment.
  • Page 34: Figure 7: Ip Routing For Unicast Traffic

    | Network Planning HAPTER Application Examples SING AYER OUTING VLANs can significantly enhance network performance and security. However, if you use conventional routers to interconnect VLANs, you can lose most of your performance advantage. This device is a routing switch that provides wire-speed routing, which allows you to eliminate your conventional IP routers, except for a router to handle non-IP protocols and a gateway router linked to the WAN.
