cofigured in any Ethernet network environment to significantly boost
bandwidth using conventional cabling and adapters.
Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switch, the source address
and corresponding port number of each incoming and outgoing packet
are stored in a routing table. This information is subsequently used to
filter packets whose destination address is on the same segment as the
source address. This confines network traffic to its respective domain,
reducing the overall load on the network.
The Switch performs "Store-and-forward" therefore, no error packets
occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No packet
loss will occur.
Auto-Negotiation
The STP ports on the Switch have built-in "Auto-Negotiation." This
technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a
connection is established with another network device (usually at
Power On or Reset). This is done by detect the modes and speeds at the
second of both device is connected and capable of. Both 10Base-T and
100Base-TX devices can connect with the 100Base-TX port in either
Half- or Full-Duplex mode.
If attached device is:
• 10Mbps, no auto-negotiation
• 10Mbps, with auto-negotiation
