LED indicator will light up for the corresponding port. If the port
LED indicator fails to light when you connect a device to the
switch, check the following items:
•
Be sure all network cables and connectors are properly
attached to the connected device and the switch.
•
See if your cable is functioning properly by using it for another port
and attached device that displays valid indications when connected to
the network.
•
Be sure no twisted-pair cable exceeds 100 meters (328 feet).
Applications
This switch segments your network, significantly increasing both
bandwidth and throughput. Each port on the switch can be
attached to any IEEE 802.3ab-compliant Gigabit Ethernet device,
such as another switch, full-duplex repeater, or a server’s network
adapter. All switch ports operate at 1 Gbps, full duplex, providing
2 Gbps of bandwidth to the attached device.
Bridging Functions
– This switch provides fully transparent
bridging functions. It automatically learns node addresses that are
subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the
destination address. When traffic passes between devices attached
to the same shared collision domain, those packets are filtered
from the switch. But when traffic must be passed between unique
segments (i.e., different ports on the switch), the high-speed
switching fabric forwards the packets at near zero latency.
Switching Functions
– Store-and-forward switching is used to
forward traffic to other ports. This scheme ensures data integrity
and provides a clean data stream.
Sample Application
–
This switch is designed to operate as a
high-bandwidth backbone switch. It segments the core of the network,
