1. Introduction
GSW-2453, 3-slot Gigabit Chassis switch, is a modular Switch that can be used to
build high-performance switched workgroup networks. This switch is a
store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The Switch
is targeted at workgroup, department or backbone computing environment.
GSW-2453 features a “store-and-forward “ switching scheme. This allows the switch to
auto-learn and store source address in an 4K-entry MAC address table.
MDI
(Medium Dependent Interface) Port is also called an "uplink port". The MDI port
does not cross transmit and receive lines, which is done by the regular ports (MDI-X
ports) that connect to end stations. In general, MDI means connecting to another Hub
or Switch while MDIX means connecting to a workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto
MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another Switch or workstation without
changing non-crossover or crossover cabling.
GSW-2453 has 3-module slot. User can accord their needs to purchase the modules.
This can give elasticity on network application.
