Introduction
The Fast SwitcHub-8mi SNMP switch is ideal for moving
workgroups from the conventional 10Mbps shared Ethernet
collision domain to multiple dedicated Fast Ethernet segments.
This switch delivers dedicated 100Mbps links to each attached
LAN segment (independent collision domain) all with
conventional cabling and adapters. It completely eliminates the
bottlenecks of shared 10Mbps Ethernet networks by providing a
wide bandwidth of up to 800 Mbps. This makes it ideal for increasing the throughput of
interconnected Ethernet hubs or server farms. On top of that, it uses auto-negotiation
to select the optimal transmission speed and communication mode for each connection.
It uses adaptive cut-through switching to select the optimal switching scheme based on
the current traffic load. And, it even provides flow control via back-pressure to
minimize lost frames. Moreover, with VLAN Port Grouping and the Spanning Tree
Algorithm, this switch can segregate broadcast domains, prevent disruptive network
loops, and provide backup network paths.

Description of Hardware
This switch contains 8 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports. The communication mode for all
ports can be manually set to auto-negotiation, half duplex or full duplex using the Configure
button. All RJ-45 ports support auto-negotiation, so the transmission speed and
communication mode will be automatically set if this feature is also supported by the
attached device.
Note
: You can also configure this switch using the on-board configuration program via
a console connection to the serial port on the back of the switch or via a network
connection using Telnet, or with SNMP-based management software (such as
the AccView/Open management software that is provided free with this switch).
The following figure shows the components of this switch:
