Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet 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-T (Fast Eth

segments. The switch, without interfering with any other segments, auto- matically forwards traffic that needs to go from one segment to another. By doing this the total network capacity is multiplied, while still maintaining the same network cabling and adapter cards. For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating problems of chaining hubs beyond the “two-repeater limit." A switch can be used to split parts of the network into different collision domains, making

As all ports support 200Mbps, the Switches can be cascaded from any port and to any number of switches. The Switches are a perfect choice for site planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switches now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change the Switches or reconfigure the network. The Switches combine dynamic memory allocation with store- and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocat

DC Power Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter. Check Jack: the printing on the adapter for information about the AC power in- put voltage. Since the switch does not include a power switch, plugging its power adapter into a power outlet will immediately power it on. Numbered Use these jacks to connect stations to the switch. These are num- MDI/MDI-X bered MDI/MDI-X jacks, which mean, you can use ordinary straight Jacks: or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect user

Chapter 4 Connecting The Switch This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Fast Ethernet network. PC to Switch A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable. The PC (equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps phone jack) should be connected to any of the 5/8 numbered port. The LED indicators for PC connection depend on the LAN card capabilities. If LED indicators are not light after making a proper connection, check the PC LAN card, th

Switch to switches (other devices) The Switch can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight or crossover cable. When using straight or crossover cable, this is done from the any (MDI/MDIX) port of the Switch to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps, MDI or MDI-X port of the other switches/devices.

Appendix A RJ-45 PIN Specification When connecting your 10/100Mbps 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 recepta- cle/ connector and their pin assignments: RJ-45 Connector pin assignment MDI-X MDI Contact Med

Appendix B SWITCH OPERATION 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 infor- mation of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. The information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch. Learning When one packet comes in from any port, the Ethernet Switch will record the source address, port no. and the other related information in address table. These

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 com- monly used to segment existing hubs, which nearly always improves over- all performance. A Ethernet Switch can be easily configured in any Ethernet network environment to significantly boost bandwidth
