3. SWITCH OPERATION 3.1 Address Table The Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch. 3.2 Learning When one packet comes in from any port, the Switch will record the source address, port no. And the other related information in address table. This information will

The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packet- header, searches the routing table provided for the incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding makes the switch attractive for connecting servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the switch is most commonly used to segment existing hubs, which nearly always improves overall performance. An Ethernet Switching can be easily configured in any Et

4. TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If Desktop Fast Ethernet Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Desktop Fast Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual. Some stations cannot talk to other stations located on the other port Solution: The address table may contain older information than of the address table of that node. Please power down to refresh the address information. Performance is bad Solution: Check t

Appendix A A.1 Switch’s RJ-45 Pin Assignments When connecting your Desktop Fast Ethernet Switch to another switch, a bridge or a hub, a straight or crossover cable is necessary. Each port of the Switch supports auto-MDI/MDI-X detection. That means you can directly connect the Switch to any Ethernet devices without making a crossover cable. The following table and diagram show the standard RJ- 45 receptacle/ connector and their pin assignments: RJ-45 Connector pin assignment MDI-X MDI Contact
