Page 18: Ethernet Switching Basics
Chapter 1: Product Description 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 19: Duplex Mode
AT-GS900/16, AT-GS900/24 Fanless Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Duplex Mode Duplex mode refers to how an end-node receives and transmits data. If an end-node can either 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 20: Network Topologies
Chapter 1: Product Description Network Topologies This section illustrates two network topologies that you can create with the AT-GS900/16 and AT-GS900/24 switches: 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 21: Collapsed Backbone
Collapsed In the topology illustrated in Figure 5, an AT-GS900/16 switch connects Fast Ethernet switches that have Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. This type of Backbone 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 frame. -
