SWITCH
ARCHITECTURE
The switch performs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric.
This allows wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low
latency on all ports simultaneously. The switch also features
full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the
bandwidth of each connection.
This switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure
maximum data integrity. With this technology, 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
The switch can also be managed over the network with a web
browser or Telnet application. The switch includes a built-in
network management agent that allows it to be managed in-
band using SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, 9) protocols. It also
has an RJ45 console port connector on the front panel for out-
of-band management. A PC may be connected to this port for
configuration and monitoring out-of-band via a serial cable.
NOTE:
For a detailed description of the management
features, refer to the software manual.
