1 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter introduces the D-Link DES-2218 switch, and the technologies that it uses to give you improved network performance and reliability. DES-2218 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Switch The DES-2218 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-2218 has eighteen ports, two NWay 10BASE-TX Ethernet/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet p

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-2218 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

To utilize these technologically advanced applications more efficiently, there is also a growing demand for faster networks that can handle heavy network

Cables and Connectors Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables are supported. Cat 5 UTP cable uses the same RJ-45 connector used with 10BASE-T, wired in exactly the same configuration. However, the punch-down blocks in the wiring 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 (

DES-2218 Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Network Network diameter, which is the distance between two end-stations in the same collision domain, is the primary difference between traditional Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. Due to the increased speed in Fast Ethernet and adherence to the EIA/TIA 568 wiring rules, the network diameter of a Fast Ethernet collision domain is limited to 205 meters; in contrast, the maximum 10BASE-T Ethernet collision domain diameter can be up to 2500 meters. Hubs Unlike 10B

♦ The maximum length of a twisted-pair segment (that is, distance between a port in the hub to a single-address network device such as a PC, server, or LAN switch) is 100 meters. ♦ The maximum diameter in a collision domain is about 205 meters using two Class II hubs and 200 meters using one Class I hub. ♦ Between any two end-stations in a collision domain, there may be up to three segments and two Class II hubs or two segments and one Class I hub.

Switches supporting both traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet are also ideal for bridging between existing 10Mbps networks and new 100Mbps networks. 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
