This section describes the features of the DES-1012, as well as giving some
background information about Ethernet and Fast Ethernet switching
technology.
Fast Ethernet Technology
The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop
computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks.
A number of high-speed LAN technologies have been proposed to provide
greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times. Among them,
Fast Ethernet, or 100Base-T, provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution
from the current 10Base-T technology. The non-disruptive and smooth
evolution nature, and the dominating potential market base, virtually
guarantee cost effective and high performance Fast Ethernet solutions in the
years to come.
NTRODUCTION
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a new standard specified by the IEEE 802.3 LAN
committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet standard with the
ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps, while maintaining the
CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the 100Mbps Fast Ethernet is
compatible with all other 10Mbps Ethernet environments, it provides a
straightforward upgrade and takes advantage of the company’s existing
investment in hardware, software, and personnel training.
Introduction

10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
Switching Technology
Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet techno logy is the
development of switching technology. A switch bridge 's Ethernet packet s 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 loading by making it possible for a local area network to
be divided into different
network transmission capacity, giving a decreased load on each.
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual
segments. The switch, without interfering with any other segments
automatically forwards traffic that needs to go from one segment to another.
This allows the total network capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining
the same network cabling and adapter cards.
For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating
problems of chaining hubs beyond the two-repeater limit.” A switch can be
used to split parts of the network into different collision domains, making it
possible to expand your Fast Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter network
diameter limit for 100BASE-TX networks. Switches supporting both
traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet are also ideal for
bridging between existing 10Mbps networks and new 100Mbps networks.
segments
which don’t compete with each other for
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous
generation of network brid ges, which were characterize d by higher latencies.
Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a
router and the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively
impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area
network congestion problems.

Features
The Switch is designed for easy installation and high performance in an
environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase
continuously.
The Switch with its rack size is specifically designed for network workgroups.
The Switch provides immediate access to a rapidly growing network through
a wide range of user-reliable functions.
The Switch is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for
shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups. In 200Mbps full-duplex
mode, any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for
simultaneous access to the server.
The Switch is expandable by cascading two or more switches together. As all
ports support 200Mbps full duplex, the Switch can be cascaded from any port
and to any number of switches.
The Switch is a perfect choice for site planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet in
the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switch now, and change
adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change the Switch or
reconfigure the network.
The Switch combines dynamic memory allocation with store-and-forward
switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port, while
controlling the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee
against all possible packet loss.
Other key features are:
♦
Twelve N-Way UTP/STP ports all come with auto-negotiation and
operate at 10/100 Mbps for connection to servers and hubs. All ports can
be configured for full or half-duplex operation.
♦
Uplink/MDI-II (media dependent interface) port for uplinking to
another switch, hub or repeater. Please note that if you are using the
