1 ABOUT THIS GUIDE Congratulations on you r purchase of LevelOne GSW-1 674T/2474T 16/24-Port 10/10 0/1000 Mb ps Gigabi t Ethernet Web Sm art Swi tch. This device integrates 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capab ilities in a highly flexible package.
2 INTRODUCTION This chapter describ es the featur es of Levelone GSW-167 4T/2474T 16/24-port 10/100/1 000 Mbps Gigabit Et hernet Web S mart Switc h and some background information about Eth ernet/ Fast Ethernet/ Gigabit Ethernet switching technology. Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.
3 In addition, the phenomenal bandwid th delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-e ffective method to ta ke advanta ge of today a nd tomorrow’s rapidly improvi ng swi tching a nd routi ng internet working technologies.
4 Switching Technology Another a pproach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the develo pment of s witching tech nology. A s witch brid ges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of t he Ethernet prot ocol transmitting a mong con nected Ethernet or Fast Et hernet LAN segments.
5 VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) A VLAN is a group of e nd-stati ons that are n ot constraine d by their physical location and can communicate as if a c ommon broadcast domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce latency and need for ro uters, using f aster switchi ng instead.
