10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 1 2 O VERVIEW Introduction The DES-810 and DES-818 Fast Ethernet Switches are ideal for network managers who want to boost workgroup performance easily by micro- segmenting a 10Mbps LAN while adding 100Mbps links. They are also excellently suited to provide dedicated Fast Ethernet connections to key network servers. Each switch integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet with 10Mbps Ethernet networks seamlessly. The speed migration design will bridge high bandwidt

LAN while preserving your initial investment and use of 10Mbps Ethernet LANs. 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

If 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,

Hubs Unlike 10BASE-T hubs which are all functionally identical, Fast Ethernet 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 100BASE-T4

10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Switching Technology Switching is fast becoming the industry standard for pushing the limits of existing Ethernet networks. A switch bridges Ethernet packets between Ethernet and Fast Ethernet LAN segments at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol. The difference between switched Ethernet (10Mbps, 100Mbps, or both) and traditional Ethernet is analogous to the difference between a private phone line and a party line. With switched Ethernet, each

Compatibility with 10Mbps Ethernet ensures that users will be able to migrate to Fast Ethernet at a pace appropriate to their installation and needs. 10/100 Switching Technology An integral extension of Fast Ethernet, 10/100 switching provides not only a 100Mbps high-speed connection for carrying aggregated 10Mbps traffic, it also handles the necessary conversion of MAC between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. Combining Fast Ethernet and switching technologies provides both bandwidth f

Note: Full-duplex mode can only be used for connections to other switches or to network stations. Connections to hubs must use half- duplex mode only. Uplink Port The uplink port is used for higher-tier connections to more advanced switches or other network devices. Please note that if you are using the uplink port, you will be unable to use port one as these two ports are logically linked. Note: A crossover cable must be used when connecting from the uplink of another switch or a hub to the u
