Bridging Functions - This switch provides fully transparent bridging functions
which automatically learn node addresses, that are subsequently used to filter
and forward all traffic based on the destination address. When traffic passes
between devices attached to the same shared collision domain, those packets
are filtered from the switch. But when traffic must be passed between unique
segments (i.e., different ports on the switch), the high-speed switching fabric
forwards the packets at near zero latency.
Switching Functions - This switch uses store-and-forward switching to pass
traffic, thus ensuring data integrity under any load.
Flexible Configuration - This switch is not only designed to segment your
network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network
connections. It can be used as a simple stand-alone switch; or can be connected
with standard repeater hubs, switches, or other network interconnection devices
in various configurations.
