Performance Features
Layer 2 Features
??
8.8 Gbps switching fabric capacity
??
Store and forward switching scheme.
??
Full and half-duplex for both 10Mbps and 100Mbps
connections. The front-port Gigabit Ethernet module
operates 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 hubs must take place at half-
duplex.
??
Supports IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex mode
ports.
??
Supports Back-pressure flow control for half-duplex mode
ports.
??
Auto-polarity detection and correction of incorrect
polarity on the transmit and receive twisted-pair at each
port.
