Switch Features
The following list identifies the key features of the switch:
• Twenty-four RJ-45 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet switching ports.
• Two RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switch ports.
• The switch provides full compatibility with IEEE standards:
- IEEE 802.3i (10BASE-T)
- IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX)
- IEEE 802.3x (full duplex-flow control)
- IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)
- IEEE 802.3az (EEE)
• Autosensing and autonegotiating capabilities for all ports.
• Auto MDI/MIDX technology is supported on all ports.
• Automatic address-learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table.
The
table contains up to 8 K Media
Access Control (MAC) addresses.
• Full- and half-duplex functions for all ports.
• Store-and-forward transmission to remove corrupt packets from the network.
• Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control.
