Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switch, 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
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.
Auto-Negotiation
The STP ports on the Switch have built-in "Auto-Negotiation."
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
100Base-TX port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode.
