Introduction 

 

 

Welcome to the World of Network Switching.   
In the modern business society, communication and information 
sharing are fundamental to our lifestyle. And computer networks 
have proven to be one of the fastest means of communication.   
 
The 

LevelOne GSW-2470TGX Smart Switch

 is a multi-port 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 at SME 
(small, medium enterprise) business.

The 

LevelOne GSW-2470TGX Smart Switch

 features a 

“store-and-forward “switching scheme. This allows the switch to 
auto-learn and store source address on 8K-entry MAC address 
table.
