  • Page 7: Introduction

    24-Port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch User Guide Introduction This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of local area networks (LANs) and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks.
  • Page 8: Switching Technology

    24-Port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch User Guide Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridge Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.
