1. Introduction
The TEG-S3000i 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 designed for
workgroup, department or backbone computing environments.
The TEG-S3000i chassis switch features a “store-and-forward “ switching scheme. This
allows the switch to auto-learn and store source address in an 8K-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 straight-through or crossover cabling.
The TEG-S3000i chassis switch has 4 module slots that give users flexible configuration.
Users can choose from a wide selection of exclusive modules to help increase the
number of copper ports available or extend distances from one switch to another by
using fiber optics.
