4. SWITCH OPERATION 

 

4.1 Address Table 

The Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to 
store the address information of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This information comes from 
the learning process of Ethernet Switch. 

4.2 Learning 

When  one  packet  comes  in  from  any  port,  the  Switch  will  record  the  source  address,  port  no.  And  the  other  related 
information in address table. This information will be used to decide either forwarding or filtering for future packets. 

4.3 Forwarding & Filtering 

When one packet comes from some port of the Ethernet Switching, it will also check the destination address besides the 
source address learning. The Ethernet Switching will lookup the address-table for the destination address. If not found, this 
packet will be forwarded to all the other ports except the port, which this packet comes in. And these ports will transmit this 
packet to the network it connected. If found, and the destination address is located at different port from this packet comes 
in, the Ethernet Switching will forward this packet to the port where this destination address is located according to the 
information from address table. But, if the destination address is located at the same port with this packet comes in, then 
this packet will be filtered. Thereby increase the network throughput and availability. 

4.4 Store-and-Forward 

Store-and-Forward  is  one  type  of  packet-forwarding  techniques.    A  Store-and-Forward  Ethernet  Switching  stores  the 
incoming frame in an internal buffer, do the complete error checking before transmission. Therefore, no error packets 
occurrence, it is the best choice when a network needs efficiency and stability. 

The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packet-header, searches the routing table provided for the 
incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding makes the switch attractive for connecting 
servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the switch is most commonly used 
to  segment  existing  hubs,  which  nearly  always  improves  overall  performance.  An  Ethernet  Switching  can  be  easily 
configured in any Ethernet network environment to significantly boost bandwidth using conventional cabling and adapters. 

Due  to  the  learning  function  of  the  Ethernet  switching,  the  source  address  and  corresponding  port  number  of  each 
incoming and outgoing packet are stored in a routing table. This information is subsequently used to filter packets whose 
destination address is on the same segment as the source address. This confines the network traffic to its respective 
domain, reducing the overall load on the network. 

The Switch performs "Store and forward" therefore, no error packets occur.  More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission 
rate.  No packet loss will occur. 

4.5 Auto-Negotiation 

The STP ports on the Switch have built-in 

Auto-negotiation

 function. This technology automatically sets the best possible 

bandwidth when a connection is established with another network device (usually at Power On or Reset). This is done by 
detect the modes and speeds at the second of both device is connected and capable of, both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX 
devices can connect with the port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode. 1000Base-T can be only connected in Full-duplex 
mode.
