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 null-modem serial cable. (See Appendix B for
wiring options.)
NOTE: For a detailed description of the management features,
refer to the User’s manual.

DESCRIPTION OF
HARDWARE
1000BASE-T
PORTS
The switch contains 4 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports. All
RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation,
auto-negotiation and IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of
flow control, so the optimum data rate and transmission can be
selected automatically.
SFP TRANSCEIVER SLOTS
SM4T4DPA supports the Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver.
