2 INTRODUCTION This chapter descr ibes the featur es of the DGS-1224T an d provides some background information abou t Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet switching technology. Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, form at, and sup port for C SMA/CD pr otocol, fu[...]

3 In addition, the phenomenal bandwid th delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-e ffective m ethod to tak e advantage of to day and tomorrow’s rapidly improvin g switchin g and rout ing inter networking technologies. And with expected advan ces in the co ming ye ars in silicon technolog y and digital signal processing that will enable Gig[...]

4 Switching Technology Another a pproach to p ushing beyo nd the lim its of Ethe rnet technology is the develo pment of swi tching technol ogy. A switc h bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Et hernet protoc ol transmitting a mong connec ted Ethernet or Fast Ethernet L AN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing[...]

5 so broadcast and multicast traffic use val uable network ban dwidth more efficiently. Additional VLAN benefits include: Security: Security is increased with the redu ction of opportunity in eavesdropping on a broadcast n etwork because data will be switched to only those confid en tial users within the VLAN. Cost Reduc tion: VLANs can be used to [...]
