Chapter 1 Introduction
The CWGE24MODMS Managed Switch is a modular 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 to
workgroup, department or backbone computing environments.
The CWGE24MODMS Managed Switch features a store-and-forward switching scheme.
This allows the switch to auto-learn and store source addresses in a 16K-entry MAC
address table.
The MDI (Medium Dependent Interface) Port is also called an "uplink port". The MDI
port does not cross transmit and receive lines, which is done by the regular ports
(MDI-X ports) that connect to end stations. In general, MDI means connecting to
another Hub or Switch while MDIX means connecting to a workstation or PC. Therefore,
Auto MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another Switch or workstation without
changing non-crossover or crossover cabling.
The CWGE24MODMS Managed Switch has three module slots which provide flexibility
on network application. Users can purchase the modules in accordance with their
needs.
