Page 9: Introduction
INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the 24-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet switching technology. Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet. -
Page 10: Fast Ethernet Technology
In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-effective method to take advantage of today and tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and routing internetworking technologies. And with expected advances in the coming years in silicon technology and digital signal processing that will enable Gigabit Ethernet to eventually operate over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling, outfitting your network with a powerful 1000-Mbps- capable backbone/server connection creates a flexible foundation for... -
Page 11: Switching Technology
GSW-2475T acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments. The switch, without interfering with any other segments, automatically forwards traffic that needs to go from one segment to another. -
Page 12: Vlan (Virtual Local Area Network)
Cost Reduction, VLANs can be used to create multiple broadcast domains, thus eliminating the need of expensive routers. Port-based (or port-group) VLAN is the common method of implementing a VLAN, and is the one supplied in GSW-2475T. Features 24×10/100/1000Mbps Auto-negotiation Gigabit Ethernet ports... - Page 13 Store-and-Forward switching scheme capability to support rate adaptation and ensure data integrity Up to 8K unicast addresses entities per device, self-learning, and table aging 400KBytes packet buffer Supports IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex mode ports Supports Port-base VLAN Supports Port-base QoS Supports Trunk.
