Chapter 1: Introduction
The 5- or 8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch provides non-blocking, wire
speed switching for your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit network clients. Drop
this Switch in place of your current workgroup hub or switch, and you can
upgrade your high-requirement workstations to full Gigabit speeds as neces-
sary, while continuing to service other clients at their current speeds. Or build
your network from the ground up, with appropriate link speeds for each user’s
requirements.
Apply this switching power to your current hub-based Ethernet network, and
your data traffic efficiency will improve several times over. Connect your
Gigabit-equipped workstations to the Switch’s 10/100/1000 ports for full-
duplex, dedicated bandwidth of up to 1000Mbps! It’s perfect for graphics, mul-
timedia, and other applications that have to move large files across the network
quickly.
With the 5- or 8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch, you can connect your exist-
ing 10/100 Ethernet network to your Gigabit server backbone without any addi-
tional equipment. All ports are auto-negotiating, and have automatic
MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don’t have to worry about the cable
type. Address learning and aging is supported, as well as 802.3x flow control
with head-of-line blocking prevention to keep your high-speed clients from
bogging down in lower-speed traffic.
The 5- or 8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch from Linksys is the perfect solu-
tion for your desktop Gigabit and 10/100 networking needs.
