Fast SwitcHub-2se User’s Guide

Introduction

1-5

• 

Transparent bridging function supported

• 

Address learning function to build the routing information database

• 

Operates at maximum packet filtering and forwarding rate

• 

Supports multimode fiber optic backbone of up to 2 kilometers for a
dedicated link (i.e., a full-duplex connection) or 412 meters for a shared
collision domain (i.e., a half-duplex connection)

• 

Provides frame filtering and forwarding functions for each port, which are
capable of filtering and forwarding 100% of all Ethernet packets at line speed

• 

Provides a 160 Kbyte buffer per port

• 

Routing table contains 4K entries per port to store node MAC addresses

• 

Uses fast hashing scheme to retrieve information from routing table when
making routing decisions

• 

An indicator panel for configuring the system or monitoring the overall
condition of the switch, including utilization, forwarding and collision rates
