frame in an internal buffer, do the complete error checking
before transmission. Therefore, no error packets occurrence, it
is the best choice when a network needs efficiency and
stability.
The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the
packet-header, searches the routing table provided for the
incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast
forwarding makes the switch attractive for connecting servers
directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and
availability. However, the switch is most commonly used to
segment existing hubs, which nearly always improves overall
performance. A Ethernet Switching can be easily configured in
any Ethernet network environment to significantly boost
bandwidth using conventional cabling and adapters.
Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switching, the
source address and corresponding port number of each
incoming and outgoing packet are stored in a routing table. This
information is subsequently used to filter packets whose
destination address is on the same segment as the source
address. This confines network traffic to its respective domain,
reducing the overall load on the network.
The Switch performs "Store and forward" therefore, no error
packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission
rate. No packet loss will occur.

4.5 Auto-Negotiation

The STP ports on the Switch have built-in "Auto-negotiation".
This technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth
when a connection is established with another network device
(usually at Power On or Reset). This is done by detect the
modes and speeds at the second of both device is connected
and capable of, Both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX devices can
connect with the port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode.
1000Base-T can be only connected in Full-duplex mode.
