INTRODUCTION

This section describes the features of the 9-port 10/100/1000Mbps

NWay Gigabit Ethernet Switch and provides some background

information about Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Switching

technology.

Gigabit Ethernet Technology

Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, which utilizes

the same packet structure, packet format, and supports CSMA/CD

protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects.

Performance wise, the theoretical throughput of the Gigabit Ethernet is

ten times faster than the 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 100 times faster

than the 10Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10Mbps and

100Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a

straightforward upgrade without wasting company’s existing

investment in hardware, software, and trained personnel.

The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet

are essential to cope with the network bottlenecks that caused by the

traffics generated from faster computers and applications that require

more bandwidth. Upgrading key components, such as your backbone

and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network response

times as well as significantly speed up the traffic between your

subnets.

Fiber Gigabit Ethernet enables fast optical fiber connections to support

video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar data-intensive

applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than

Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to

perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time.

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. With the fast growing advanced silicon technology and

digital signal processing, Gigabit Ethernet is now operating over CAT5

unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling, outfitting your network with a

powerful 1000Mbps capable backbone/server connection creates a

flexible foundation for the next generation of network technology

products.

FastEthernet Technology

The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of

desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high

performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies

have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve

client/server response times. Among them, 100BASE-TX (Fast

Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from the

10BASE-T technology. The non-disruptive and smooth evolution and

the dominating potential marketbase, virtually guarantee cost effective

and high performance Fast Ethernet solutions in the years to come.

100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a standard specified by the IEEE 802.3 LAN

committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet standard with the

ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps, while maintaining the

CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the 100Mbps Fast Ethernet is

compatible with all other 10Mbps Ethernet environments, it provides a

straightforward upgrade and takes advantage of the existing

investment in hardware, software, and personnel training.

Switching Technology

Another key developmentpushing the limits of Ethernet technology is

in the field 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.

Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network

capacity available to users on a Local Area Network (LAN). A switch

increases capacity and decreases network loading by making it

possible for a LAN to be divided into different segments which don’t

compete with each other for network transmission capacity, giving a

decreased load on each.

The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the

individual segments. It automatically forwards traffic that needs to go

from one segment to another, without interfering with any other

segments. This allows the total network capacity to be multiplied, while

still maintaining the same network cabling and adapter cards.

Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous

generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher

latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area

networks, but the cost, the setup, and the maintenance required for the

router, make it relatively impractical. Today’s switches are an ideal

solution to most kinds of LAN congestion problems.

Features

The 9-port 10/100/1000Mbps NWay Gigabit Ethernet Switch was

designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment

where traffic on the network and the number of users increase

continuously.

Switch features include:

Ports

? ?One 10/100/1000Mbps NWay Gigabit Ethernet port (port 9).

? ?Eight 10/100Mbps NWay Ethernet ports (port 1 ~ 8).

? ?One 10/100Mbps NWay MDI-X Uplink port, shares whit port 8.

Performance features

? ?Store and forward switching scheme capability to support rate

adaptation and protocol conversion.

? ?Full duplexto allow two communicating stations to transmit and

receive at the same time.

? ?Wire-speed data forwarding rate for each port.

? ?Wire-speed data filtering rate for each port.

? ?4K active MAC address entry table per device with automatic

learning and aging.

? ?2M bits packet buffer per device.

? ?Supports broadcast storm rate filtering.
