Switch Architecture
The SMC6248M 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.
The switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data
integrity. With store-and-forward switching, the entire packet must be
received into a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This
prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network.
The switch includes built-in stacking ports that enable up to four units to be
connected together through a 4 Gbps stack backplane. The switch stack can
be managed from a master unit using a single IP address.
