Hardware Description
Switch Architecture
The switch provides a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This allows wire-speed transport of multiple
packets at low latency on all ports simultaneously. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which
effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
This switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure maximum data integrity. With this technology, the entire
packet must be received into a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from
being propagated throughout the network.
Network Management Options
The switch can be managed over the network with a web browser or Telnet application. The switch includes a built-
in network management agent that allows it to be managed in-band using SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, 9)
protocols. It also has an RJ45 console port connector on the front panel for out-of-band management. A PC may be
connected to this port for configuration and monitoring out-of-band via a null-modem serial cable. (See Appendix B
for wiring options.)
