Chapter 1 Introduction
The 3-slot Modularized Gigabit L2+ Managed Switch is a modular switch that can be
used to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. This switch is a
store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The
Switch is targeted at workgroup, department or backbone computing environment.
The 3-slot Modularized Gigabit L2+ Managed Switch features a “store-and-forward”
switching scheme. This allows the switch to auto-learn and store source address in an
16K-entry MAC address table.
MDI (Medium Dependent Interface) Port is also called an "uplink port". The MDI port
does not cross transmit and receive lines, which is done by the regular ports (MDI-X
ports) that connect to end stations. In general, MDI means connecting to another Hub
or Switch while MDIX means connecting to a workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto
MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another Switch or workstation without
changing non-crossover or crossover cabling.
The 3-slot Modularized Gigabit L2+ Managed Switch has 3-module slot. User can
purchase the modules in accordance with their needs as well as giving elasticity on
network application.
