frame in an internal buffer, do the complete error checking before

transmission. Therefore, no error packets occurrence, it is the

best choice when a network needs efficiency and stability.

The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the

packet-header, searches the routing table provided for the

incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast

forwarding makes the switch attractive for connecting servers

directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and

availability. However, the switch is most commonly used to

segment existing hubs, which nearly always improves overall

performance. A Ethernet Switching can be easily configured in

any Ethernet network environment to significantly boost

bandwidth using conventional cabling and adapters.

Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switching, the source

address and corresponding port number of each incoming and

outgoing packet are stored in a routing table. This information is

subsequently used to filter packets whose destination address is

on the same segment as the source address. This confines

network traffic to its respective domain, reducing the overall load

on the network.

The Switch performs "Store and forward" therefore, no error

packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate.

No packet loss will occur.

4.5 Auto-Negotiation

The STP ports on the Switch have built-in “Auto-negotiation”. This

technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a

connection is established with another network device (usually at

Power On or Reset). This is done by detect the modes and

speeds at the second of both device is connected and capable of,

Both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX devices can connect with the

port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode. 1000Base-T can be only

connected in Full-duplex mode.
