4 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter introduces the D-Link DES-2212 switch, and the technologies that it uses to give you improved network performance and reliability. DES-2212 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Switch The DES-2212 is an Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switch for networks needing improved performance, the ability to interconnect between 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet networks, and SNMP network management capability. Ports The DES-2212 has twelve ports, four NWay 10BASE-TX Ethernet/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet po

All of the ports can operate in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode. Full- duplex operation, allowing the port to transmit and receive at the same time, can double overall network bandwidth in many applications. Switching The DES-2212 uses store-and-forward technology to bridge packets between ports. Forwarding and filtering occurs at full “wire speed,” 148,800 packets per second (pps) for Fast Ethernet, and 14,880 pps for Ethernet. It has 2MB of buffer memory for the 10Mbps ports, and 4MB

100Mbps Fast Ethernet Introduction Computers today have become increasingly powerful, with the capability to accommodate very sophisticated uses such as multimedia applications, video- conferencing, and CAD/CAM. To utilize these technologically advanced applications more efficiently, there is also a growing demand for faster networks that can handle heavy network traffic. Recognizing this need for greater bandwidth and lower latency, a variety of technologies such as FDDI, ATM, and 100Mbps Fast

closet must be Category 5 certified. Where these blocks do not meet the standard, an upgrade is necessary. Topology A Fast Ethernet workgroup is configured in a star topology and is built around a maximum of two repeaters. Each workgroup forms a separate LAN (also known as a segment or collision domain), and these workgroups can be easily interconnected through switches, bridges, or routers to form one LAN large enough to encompass a high-rise building or campus environment. Recent innovations

Hubs Unlike 10BASE-T hubs, which are all functionally identical, Fast Ethernet repeater hubs are divided into two distinct types: Class I and Class II. A Class I hub repeats all incoming signals on one port to the other ports by first translating them to digital signals and then retranslating them back to line signals. These translations are necessary when connecting various network media to the same collision domain, such as when combining two wire-pair 100BASE-TX media with four wire-pair 1

Ethernet Switching Introduction Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the lowest (MAC address) level between 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

♦ LED Indicator Panel Gives status information about the switch itself, as well as each of the switch ports. The LED indicator panel is described in detail in the next section. ♦ Console Port The diagnostic console port is a standard RS-232 DB-9 connector, which can be used to connect a terminal or terminal emulator to the switch, in order to configure or manage the hub. The port can also be used for out-of-band network management. See the Using the Console Interface chapter starting on pag
