    100BASE-TX, IEEE802.3i 10BASE-T, IEEE 802.3x and IEEE802.3 CSMA/CD Ethernet Standards. The Fast EtheRx Switch may be used in both standard desktop and 19” rack- mount installations (using the mounting brackets provided with the unit). For easy recognition of network status and troubleshooting, the front panel includes a variety of diagnostic LEDs including Power, 100TX Speed Detection, Link, Receive, Transmit, Collision, and Full-Duplex status.

    If any of the items are missing or damaged, please contact your Kingston dealer for a replacement. Be sure the items you receive are genuine Kingston Technology products. If the Kingston name and logo are not on the front panel of your unit, it’s not a genuine Kingston product.
  • Page 9: Design Features

    The Fast EtheRx switch provides a simple solution to protect your network against broadcast storming by creating segments based on Layer 2 Ethernet information. As a result, each group of stations connected to a seperate segmented port form an isolated Broadcast Domain.
  • Page 10: Flow Control

    Forward, which minimizes the re-transmission of faulty data packets. This means that the Fast EtheRx Switch can store the incoming frame in an internal buffer and check the packet for errors before sending it out to the destination port. If the frame does contain errors, it will be discarded and then retransmitted.

  • Page 20: Trunk Assignment

    For instance, four full duplex 100Mbps links, such as port 1-4, could be grouped into one 800Mbps link for Trunk 1. Trunking is most commonly used between the switch and server or between two switches.
  • Page 21 3250/R switches support MAC address based and port based balancing methods. Using these methods, any packet with a trunk destination received by the switch can be forwarded to a proper trunk port. After choosing one method, the user must specify the relative load-balancing mapping to complete the conguration of the trunk port load balancing.
