ieee 802.3 compliant (10/100 mbps tp ports)

    ieee 802.3u compliant (10/100 mbps tp ports)

    ieee 802.3z compliant (for optional gbic port insert)

    ieee 803.3 ac compliant

    ieee 802.3x flow control in full duplex mode (back pressure in half duplex)

    auto-negotiation (nway) between 10mbps/100mbps, half duplex or full duplex and flow control for 10/100 tp ports

    full and half-duplex for both 10mbps and 100mbps connections

    2 optional gigabit ethernet (gbic) ports located on the rear panel. the gbic ports operate at full duplex only. full duplex allows the switch port to simultaneously transmit and receive data, and only works with connections to full duplex capable end stations and switches. connections to a hub must take place at half duplex

    store and forward packet switching

    auto-polarity detection and correction of incorrect polarity on the 10/100mbps tp ports

    data forwarding rate 14,880 pps per port at 100% of wire-speed for 10mbps speed

    data forwarding rate 148,810 pps per port at 100% of wire-speed for 100mbps speed

    data forwarding rate 1,488,100 pps per port at 100% of wire-speed for 1000mbps speed

    data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc. at 14,880 pps per port at 100% of wire-speed for 10mbps speed

    data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc. at 148,810 pps per port at 100% of wire-speed for 100mbps speed

    data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc. at 1,488,100 pps per port at 100% of wire-speed for 1000mbps speed

    support static filtering (based on mac address)

    support 2 ieee 802.3p defined priority queues

    forwarding 64 to1522 byte frames with correct crc checksum

    layer 2 switching based on mac address and vlan id

    address handling : auto-learning , auto-aging

    address table : 8 - 12k

    buffer size: 3 megabytes

    broadcast storm control

    rs-232 dte console port for setting port speed, duplex mode, and flow control of the switch via a connection to a console terminal.
