INTRODUCTION
This section describes the features of the 5-Port
10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch, as well as providing
some background information about Gigabit Ethernet and
switching technology.
Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing
the same packet structure, format, and support for CSMA/CD
protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but
with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps
Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps
Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps
Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides
a
straightforward upgrade without wasting a company’ s existing
investment in hardware, software, and trained personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit
Ethernet is essential to coping with the network bottlenecks
that frequently develop as computers and their busses get
faster and more users use applications that generate more traffic.
Upgrading key components, such as your backbone and
servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network
response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic
between your subnets.
Gigabit Ethernet enables fast optical fiber connections to
support video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar occur
10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit
Ethernet NIC’ s are able to perform 10 times the number of
operations in the same amount of time.

In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit
Ethernet is the most cost-effective method to take advantage of
today and tomorrow’ s rapidly improving switching and routing
internetworking technologies. And with expected advances in
the coming years in silicon technology and digital signal
processing that will enable Gigabit Ethernet to eventually
operate over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling, outfitting
your network with

intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers
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,
100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet) 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 existing investment in
hardware, software, and personnel training.
Switching Technology
Another key development pushing the limits of Ethernet
technology is in the field of switching technology. A switch
bridges 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. Traffic that needs to go from one segment
to another is automatically forwarded by the switch, without
interfering with any other segments. This allows the total
network capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining the
same network cabling and adapter cards.
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 maintenance required make routers relatively
impractical. Today’ s switches are an ideal solution to most
kinds of local area network congestion problems.
