Chapter 1: Introduction
r
This new Linksys rackmount switch delivers non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10, and 100 megabit network clients, plus multiple options for connecting to your network backbone. Twenty-four 10/100 ports wire up your
workstations, while the integrated 10/100/1000BaseTX port connects to the
backbone at Gigabit speeds. And the mini GBIC port allows future expansion
to alternate transmission media like optical fiber.
It features non-blocking, wire-speed switching that forwards packets as fast as
your network can deliver them. Also included are Address Learning and Aging
to prevent data transfer errors and Data Flow Control to help prevent packet
collisions. The switch provides broadcast storm suppression, has hardware
MAC and IP address learning, and supports packet filtering and port security.
All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don't have to
worry about the cable type. Each port independently and automatically negotiates for best speed and whether to run in half- or full-duplex mode. Head-ofline blocking prevention keeps your high-speed clients from bogging down in
lower-speed traffic and fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged
packets from being passed on into the network.
No matter how intensive your network demands, the Linksys 24-Port 10/100 +
1-Port Gigabit Switch + 1miniGBIC has speed, flexibility, and reliability that
you can count on.
