3 I NTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the 16-Por t 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch and s ome background inf ormation about Ethernet/Fast Eth ernet and Switching technolog y. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing c omplexity of desktop comp uting ap plicat ions are fuel ing the need for hig[...]

4 Switching Technology Another approach to pus hing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switchin g technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting amon g connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total [...]

5 VLAN (Virtual Lo cal Area Networ k) A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their physical location and can communicate as if in a common broadcast domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce latency a nd need for routers, using faster s witching instead. Other VLAN features include: ¾ Security Security is[...]
