This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some

background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching

technology.

Fast Ethernet Technology

The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of

desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high

performance networks. 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.

The non-disruptive and smooth

evolution nature, and the dominating potential market base, virtually

guarantee cost effective and high performance Fast Ethernet solutions

in the years to come.

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.
