1. Introduction
The 3-slot Gigabit Chassis switch is a modular Switch that can be used to build
high-performance switched workgroup networks. This switch is a store-and-forward
device that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The Switch is targeted at
workgroup, department or backbone computing environment.
The 3-slot Gigabit Chassis switch features a “store-and-forward “ switching scheme.
This allows the switch to auto-learn and store source address in an 4K-entry MAC
address table.
MDI (Medium Dependent Interface) Port is also called an "uplink port". The MDI port
does not cross transmit and receive lines, which is done by the regular ports (MDI-X
ports) that connect to end stations. In general, MDI means connecting to another Hub
or Switch while MDIX means connecting to a workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto
MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another Switch or workstation without
changing non-crossover or crossover cabling.
The 3-slot Gigabit Chassis switch has 3-module slot. User can accord their needs to
purchase the modules. This can give elasticity on network application.
