Chapter 1: Introduction Switching Technology The Ethernet Switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via an internal high-speed data channel. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers in most environments. The Ethernet Switch is therefore fast being recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology. The learning function in the switching hub stores the address and corresponding port number of

SwitcHub-2s User’s Guide Accton’s Smart Extender (The Fast SwitcHub-2s) Accton’s Smart Extender can boost network bandwidth fourfold, depending on your configuration (i.e., if running at 100Mbps and full-duplex operation for both ports). It provides two 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 ports (set at full or half-duplex) to connect to either a subnetwork, or directly to a server or key workstation. In addition to partitioning an overloaded network, it provides connection between legacy 10BASE-T networks and

SwitcHub-2s User’s Guide Traditional bridges and routers use a switching method called store-and- forward in which the entire frame must be received before the bridge can perform a table look-up for the destination node and forward the packet to the corresponding port. As a result, each packet is delayed by approximately 800 microseconds. It may be necessary to use store-and-forward when a lot data errors are occurring over the network, or when connecting to very slow devices. Compared to this

Chapter 2: Hardware Description Accton’s SwitcHub-2s is a highly reliable network switch that complies with IEEE 802.3 (10BASE-T) and IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX) specifications. This switching hub delivers superior performance compared to the bridge and router solution, and at a much lower cost. By confining local traffic to the originating segment, and only forwarding cross-segment traffic to the other port, this hub meets the requirements for Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 networks.
