INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the features of this AOpen SOHO
Switch and some background information about
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology.
Fast Ethernet Technology
A number of high-speed LAN technologies have been
proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve
client/server response times. Among them, 100BASE-T
(Fast Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive, smooth
evolution from the current 10BASE-T technology.
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 existing investment in hardware,
software, and personnel training.
Switching Technology
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 dividing a local area network into
different segments, which don’t compete with each other
for network transmission capacity.
6
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge
between the individual segments. Without interfering
with any other segments, it automatically forwards traffic
that needs to go from one segment to another. By doing
this the total network capacity is 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 are also ideal for bridging between
the existing 10Mbps networks and the new 100Mbps
networks.
Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of
local area network congestion problems.
Features
AOpen SOHO Switch was designed for easy installation
and high performance in a SOHO environment where
traffic on the network and the number of users increases
continuously.
With its small, compact size was specifically designed for
small to middle workgroups. This AOpen SOHO Switch
can be installed where space is limited; moreover, they
provide immediate access to a rapidly growing network
through a wide range of user-reliable functions.
