Full Duplex
The MSH Switch 1005 provides full duplex support for any Fast Ethernet
Transceiver Module
s you may have installed. Full duplex allows frames
to be transmitted and received simultaneously and, in effect, doubles
the bandwidth available on the link. Full duplex also supports
100BASE-FX cable runs of up to 2km.
Security
The MSH Switch 1005 contains advanced security features which
guard against users connecting unauthorized stations onto your
network. When security is enabled on a port, that port enters into a
single address learning mode. This port is then permitted to learn just a
single Ethernet address and once this is learned, if a different address is
then seen on that port, the port will be disabled. Until security is
disabled, no other address can be learned.
Resilient Links
The Resilient Link feature in the Switch 1005 enables you to protect
critical links and prevent wasteful network downtime should that link
fail. Setting up resilience ensures that should a main communication
link fail, a standby duplicate link will immediately and automatically
take over the task of the main link. Each main and standby link pair is
referred to as a resilient link pair. The main and standby links must be
set up on the same Switch 1005.
Virtual LANs (VLANs)
The Switch 1005 has a Virtual LAN (VLAN) feature which allows you to
build your network segments without being restricted by physical
connections.
A VLAN is defined as a group of location- and
topology-independent devices that communicate as if they are on the
same physical LAN.
