iii A BOUT T HIS G UIDE Congratulations on your purchase of th e 5-Port 10/100M Switch. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethern et and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabili ties in a high ly flexibl e desktop package. Purpose This manual discusses how to install your 5-Port 10/100M Switch.
1 I NTRODUCTION This chapter describes th e features of the Switch and some background information about Ethern et/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing im portance of L ANs and the incre asing complexity of de sktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks.
2 Switching Technology Another approach t o pushing beyond the limits of Ethern et technology is the deve lopment of switching technology . A switch bridges Ethern et packets at the MA C address lev el of the Ethernet protoc ol. It transmits packets among conn ected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.
3 Switching LAN technolo gy is a marked improvem ent over the previous gener ation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of l ocal area network cong estion problems.
4 The Switch is an unman aged 10/100 Fast Ethern et Switch that offers solutions in accelerating small Ether net workgroup bandwidth. Other key features are: Auto-MDI (media dependent interface) port .
