Page 17: Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The FGL-2870 switch is a intelligent switch with 24 10/100BASE-T ports, and four Gigabit combination ports that are comprised of a RJ-45 port and an SFP transceiver slot. There is also an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board. -
Page 18: Switch Architecture
Introduction Switch Architecture This switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. These switches also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. his switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. -

Page 23: Chapter 2: Network Planning
Chapter 2: Network Planning Introduction to Switching 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. -
Page 24: Application Examples
Network Planning Application Examples This switch isnot only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. Some typical applications are described in the following pages. Collapsed Backbone This switch isan excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future. -
Page 25: Network Aggregation Plan
Application Examples Network Aggregation Plan With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 distinct collision domains), the switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10/100BASE-TX ports on the switch are providing 100 Mbps connectivity through layer 2 switches. -
Page 26: Remote Connection With Fiber Cable
Network Planning Remote Connection with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away, a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 5 km, and a 1000BASE-LH link up to 70 km. This allows the switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN. -
Page 27: Making Vlan Connections
Application Examples Making VLAN Connections 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 28: Application Notes
Network Planning Application Notes Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem. -
