10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 1 1 INTRODUCTION This section describes the features of the DES-3208, as well as giving some background information about Ethernet/ Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LAN s and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies are proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response

10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of Switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among 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 l
