  • Page 8: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of Levelone GSW-1674T/2474T 16/24-port 10/100/1000 Mbps 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...
  • Page 9: 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 10: Switching Technology

    Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.
  • Page 11: 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-1674T/2474T. Features 16/24×10/100/1000Mbps Auto-negotiation Gigabit Ethernet ports...
