    Switching Functionality A Magnum 6K25 provides switched connectivity at Ethernet wire-speed among all of its ports. The Magnum 6K25 supports10/100Mbs for copper media and 10 or 100Mb separate traffic domains for fiber ports to maximize bandwidth utilization and network performance. All ports can communicate to all other ports in a Magnum 6K25, but local traffic on a port will not consume any of the bandwidth on any other port.

    10Mb port is unable to keep up. It can also occur when multiple 100Mb ports are attempting to transmit to one 100Mb port, and in other protracted heavy traffic situations. Magnum 6K25 Switches implement the 802.3x flow control (non-blocking) on Full-Duplex ports, which provides for a “PAUSE” packet to be transmitted to the sender when the packet buffer is nearly filled and there is danger of lost packets.
