1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the features of the 12-port Switch, as well as
giving some background information about Ethernet and Fast
Ethernet switching technology.
Fast Ethernet Technology
The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of
desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high
performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies
have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve
client/server response times. Among them, Fast Ethernet, or
100Base-T, provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from the
current 10Base-T technology. The non-disruptive and smooth
evolution nature, and the dominating potential market base,
virtually guarantee cost effective and high performance Fast
Ethernet solutions in the years to come.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a new standard specified by the IEEE
802.3 LAN committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet
standard with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps,
while maintaining the CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is compatible with all other 10Mbps
Ethernet environments, it provides a straightforward upgrade and
takes advantage of the company’s existing investment in
hardware, software, and personnel training.

2Introduction
Switching Technology
Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet
technology is the development of switching technology. A switch
bridge's Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the
Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet LAN segments.
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network
capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch
increases capacity and decreases network loading by making it
possible for a local area network to be divided into different
segments which don’t compete with each other for network
transmission capacity, giving a decreased load on each.
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the
individual segments. The switch, without interfering with any
other segments automatically forwards traffic that needs to go
from one segment to another. This allows the total network
capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining the same network
cabling and adapter cards.
For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of
eliminating problems of chaining hubs beyond the two-repeater
limit.” A switch can be used to split parts of the network into
different collision domains, making it possible to expand your Fast
Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter network diameter limit
for 100BASE-TX networks. Switches supporting both traditional
10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet are also ideal for
bridging between existing 10Mbps networks and new 100Mbps
networks.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the
previous generation of network bridges, which were characterized
by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local
area networks, but the cost of a router and the setup and

10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
Introduction 3
maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today
switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network
congestion problems.
Features
The Switch is designed for easy installation and high performance
in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of
users increase continuously.
The Switch with its rack size is specifically designed for network
workgroups. The Switch provides immediate access to a rapidly
growing network through a wide range of user-reliable functions.
The Switch is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed
servers for shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups. In
200Mbps full-duplex mode, any port can provide workstations with
a congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.
The Switch is expandable by cascading two or more switches
together. As all ports support 200Mbps full duplex, the Switch can
be cascaded from any port and to any number of switches.
The Switch is a perfect choice for site planning to upgrade to Fast
Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the
Switch now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without
needing to change the Switch or reconfigure the network.
The Switch combines dynamic memory allocation with store-and-
forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated
for each port, while controlling the data flow between the transmit
and receive nodes to guarantee against all possible packet loss.
Other key features are:
