Switch Architecture
This switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This
permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low
latency on all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all
ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
For communications within the same VLAN, the switch uses
store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. With
store-and-forward switching, 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
This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance”
monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a management
agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its
embedded management software, or via SNMP applications. To manage
the switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port
(out-of-band), or you can manage the switches through a network
