Quick Start Guide
Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Cisco 8-Port 10/100 Switch. The Switch provides
non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10 and 100 Mbps network clients.
It's the perfect way of integrating 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
devices, too. All ports are auto speed negotiating, and have automatic MDI/MDI-
X crossover detection, so you don’t have to worry about the cable type. Each
port independently negotiates for best speed and half- or full-duplex mode, for
up to 200Mbps of bandwidth per port. Fast store-and-forward switching
prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the network.
