Page 10: 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 11: 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 12: Vlan (Virtual Local Area Network)
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their physical location and can communicate as if a common broadcast domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce latency and need for routers, using faster switching instead. - Page 13 Up to 4K unicast addresses entities per device, self-learning, and table aging 1536KBytes packet buffer Supports IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex mode ports Supports Back-pressure flow control for half-duplex mode ports Supports port-base VLAN Supports port-base QoS Supports Trunking Supports Port-setting for Speed/Disable, Flow control Easy configuration via WEB Browser Easy setting via Web Management Utility...
