    Because of these limitations, routers and switches perform complimentary functions in the network. The CrossFire 8600 and the CrossFire 8605 can be used as a front-end to routers to increase performance in each subnet. Communication between local clients and servers is enhanced at the workgroup level below the router.

  • Page 34: Multiple Simultaneous Conversations

    Multiple Simultaneous Conversations A limitation of Token-Ring is that it supports only one packet at a time. The CrossFire 8600 and the CrossFire 8605 improve data throughput by supporting multiple, simultaneous, full-duplex conversations. By using High-Speed bus switching technology, the switch creates multiple data paths. These switched connections between Token-Ring segments last only for the duration of a byte transmission.

  • Page 35: Low Latency

    This ensures that the port’s address table is populated only by the most recently used address. This capability allows users to transparently connect to high-volume backbone networks. CrossFire 8600/8605 Token-Ring Switches v. 1.2, P/N: 710001641 Switch Theory of Operation...

  • Page 36: Multiple Bridging Modes

    Multiple Bridging Modes The CrossFire 8600 and the CrossFire 8605 each supports four different switching modes to provide maximum flexibility in all installation environments. The switching modes are Source Route Switching (SRS), Source Route Bridging (SRB), Source Route Transparent (SRT) and SRT/SRB. The switch operates on two levels (BRF and CRF) as outlined below.
  • Page 37 Duplicate MAC addresses are allowed only if they are on different Logical Rings. Source Route Transparent (SRT) The BRF can combine transparent switching with Source Route Bridging. Non source-routed packets are switched across logical rings by transparent bridging. CrossFire 8600/8605 Token-Ring Switches v. 1.2, P/N: 710001641 Switch Theory of Operation...
