Switch Architecture
The SMC6824MPE 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 SMC6824MPE 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 two Gigabit combination ports with RJ-45 connectors
and associated SFP slots. The optional SFP stacking transceiver enables up to
eight units to be connected together through a 1 Gbps stack backplane. The
switch stack can be managed from a connection to any port on the stack
using a single IP address.
