3. Switch Operation
3.1 Address Table
The Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table
composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address
information of some node in network, including MAC address, port
no, etc. This information comes from the learning process of Ethernet
Switch.
3.2 Learning
When one packet comes in from any port. The Switch will record the
source address, port no. And the other related information in address
table. This information will be used to decide either forwarding or
ltering for future packets.
3.3 Forwarding & Filtering
When one packet comes from some port of the Ethernet Switching,
it will also check the destination address besides the source address
learning. The Ethernet Switching will lookup the address-table for the
destination address. If not found, this packet will be forwarded to all
the other ports except the port which this packet comes in. And these
ports will transmit this packet to the network it connected. If found,
and the destination address is located at different port from this packet
comes in, the Ethernet Switching will forward this packet to the port
where this destination address is located according to the information
from address table. But, if the destination address is located at the
same port with this packet comes in, then this packet will be ltered.
Thereby increasing the network throughput and availability.
3.4 Store-and-Forward
Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques. A
Store-and Forward Ethernet Switching stores the incoming frame in
an internal buffer, do the complete error checking before transmission.
Therefore, no error packets occurrence, it is the best choice when a
network needs efciency and stability.
The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packetheader, searches the routing table provided for the incoming port
and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding makes
the switch attractive for connecting servers directly to the network,
thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the switch is
most commonly used to segment existing hubs, which nearly always
improves overall performance. An Ethernet Switching can be easily
congured in any Ethernet network environment to signicantly boost
bandwidth using conventional cabling and adapters.
Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switching, the source
address and corresponding port number of each incoming and outgoing
packet are stored in a routing table. This information is subsequently
used to lter packets whose destination address is on the same
segment as the source address. This connes network trafc to its
respective domain, reducing the overall load on the network.
The Switch performs "Store and Forward" therefore, no error packets
occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No packet loss
will occur.
3.5 Auto-Negotiation
The STP ports on the FNSW-4800 switch have built-in "Autonegotiation". This technology automatically sets the best possible
bandwidth when a connection is established with another network
device (usually at Power On or Reset). Detecting the modes does this
and speeds at the second of both devices are connected and capable
of, both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX devices can connect with the port in
either Half- or Full-duplex mode.
If attached device is: 100Base-TX port will set to:
• 10Mbps, no auto-negotiation 10Mbps
• 10Mbps, with auto-negotiation
• 100Mbps, no auto-negotiation 100Mbps
• 100Mbps, with auto-negotiation

4.Troubleshooting
Solution
Solution
Solution
Solution
This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the Switch
is not functioning properly, make sure the Ethernet Switch was set up
according to instructions in this manual.
The Link/Act LED is not lit
Check the cable connection of the Switch.
Performance is bad
Check the speed duplex mode of the partner device. The
FNSW-4800 is run at Auto-negotiation mode and if the
partner is set to half duplex, then the performance will
be poor.
100Base-TX port link LED is lit, but the trafc is irregular
Check that the attached device is not set to dedicate full
duplex. Some devices use a physical or software switch
to change duplex modes. Auto-negotiation may not
recognize this type of full-duplex setting.
Why the Switch doesn’t connect to the network
Check the LNK/ACT LED on the Switch Try another port
on the Switch Make sure the cable is installed properly
Make sure the cable is the right type Turn off the power.
After a while, turn on power again..
