10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch and how to connect
it to your Ethernet network.
Terms
For simplicity, this documentation uses the terms “Switch” (first
letter upper case) to refer to the 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet Switch, and “switch” (first letter lower case) to refer to
all Ethernet switches, including the 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet Switch.

INTRODUCTION
This section describes the features of the 8-Port
10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch, as well as giving
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 increasein theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps
Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps
Ethernet. Since it is compatible with 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 when 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.

Since the Gigabit Ethernet data transfer rate is 10 times faster
than Fast Ethernet, servers equipped with Gigabit Ethernet
NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in
the same amount of time. This makes Gigabit Ethernet the
perfect solution for video conferencing, complex imaging, and
similar data-intensive applications.
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 dividing
network into different segments and each segment has its own
bandwidth (10, 100, or 1000Mbps).
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 maintaining the same
network cabling and adapter cards.
