1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switch, how to connect it to

your Gigabit Ethernet network.

Terms

For simplicity, this documentation uses the terms “Switch”

(first letter upper case) to refer to the 8-Port 1000BASE-T

Gigabit Ethernet Switch, and “switch” (first letter lower case) to

refer to all Ethernet switches, including the 8-Port 1000BASE-T

Gigabit Ethernet Switch.

INTRODUCTION

This section describes the features of the 8-Port 1000BASE-T

Gigabit Ethernet Switch, as well as providing some background

information about Gigabit Ethernet and switching technology.

Gigabit Ethernet Technology

Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet

utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for

CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management

objects, but with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput

over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over

10-Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10-Mbps and

100-Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a

straightforward upgrade without wasting a company’s existing

investment in hardware, software, and trained personnel.

The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit

Ethernet is essential to coping with the network bottlenecks that

frequently develop as computers and their busses get faster and

more users use applications that generate more traffic.

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.

Gigabit Ethernet supports 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.

Switching Technology

Another key development pushing 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. A

switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by

making it possible for a local area network 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. Traffic that needs to go from one segment

to another is automatically forwarded by the switch, 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 of a router and the

setup and maintenance required make routers relatively

impractical. Today’s switches are an ideal solution to most

kinds of local area network congestion problems.

Features

The 8-Port 1000BASE-T 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.
