The Magnum S14-Series Convenient Switches operate in the store-and-forward
switching mode, which eliminates bad packets and enables peak performance to be
achieved when there is heavy traffic on the network.
Switching, Address Learning
The Magnum S14-Series units have address table capacity of 2K node addresses,
and are suitable for use in large networks. They are self-learning, so that as nodes are added
or removed or moved from one segment to another, the S14-Series automatically keeps up
with node locations.
An address-aging algorithm causes least-used addresses to fall out in favor of new
frequently-used addresses. To reset the address buffer, cycle power down-and-up.
