  • Page 26: Ethernet Switching Basics

    Chapter 1: Overview Ethernet Switching Basics An Ethernet switch interconnects network devices, such as workstations, printers, routers, and other Ethernet switches, so that they can communicate with each other by sending and receiving Ethernet frames. MAC Address Every hardware device on your network has a unique MAC address. This address is assigned to the device by the device’s manufacturer.
  • Page 27: Duplex Mode

    Duplex Mode Duplex mode refers to how an end node receives and transmits data. If an end node can receive or transmit data, but not both simultaneously, the end node is operating in what is referred to as half-duplex mode. If an end node can both receive and transmit data simultaneously, the end node is said to be operating in full-duplex mode.
  • Page 28: Back Pressure And Flow Control

    Chapter 1: Overview Back Pressure To maintain the orderly movement of data between the end nodes, an Ethernet switch may periodically need to signal an end node to stop and Flow Control sending data. This can occur under several circumstances. For example, if two end nodes are operating at different speeds, the switch, while transferring data between the end nodes, might need to instruct the faster end node to stop transmitting data to allow the slower end node to catch...
  • Page 29: Network Topologies

    Network Topologies This section illustrates two network topologies that you can create with the AT-8000/8POE Fast Ethernet Switch: a power workgroup and collapsed backbone. Both types of topologies are described below. Power The topology shown in Figure 4 is commonly referred to as a power workgroup topology.
  • Page 30: Collapsed Backbone

    Chapter 1: Overview Collapsed In the topology illustrated in Figure 5, an AT-9424T Gigabit Ethernet Switch forms the backbone that connects to servers and AT-8000/8POE Backbone Fast Ethernet switches using Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. This type of topology is often referred to as a collapsed backbone topology. The switch functions as the focal point of the network and transfers an Ethernet frame between the Fast Ethernet switches only when the destination end node for the frame is on a different switch than the end node that originated the...
