1. Introduction
Gigabit Ethernet over copper technology is a proven cost-effective way for
network equipment to be upgraded from Fast Ethernet to Gigabit speeds.
The need of expensive fiber optic cabling for Gigabit speeds is eliminated by
using standard 4-pair Category 5e copper cabling. This technology creates
high-speed backbone connections between switches, servers, databases,
and workstations.
The DynaGST/1602G Gigabit Ethernet switch is an ideal solution for solving
traffic congestion at the core of the network. It offers auto-negotiation
10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports that can significantly improve
your network backbone performance. It will also fit into any enterprise level
network as an exit to the backbone switch. The DynaGST/1602G provides
two mini GBIC Gigabit slots for Gigabit speed network connection.
The DynaGST/1602G Gigabit Ethernet switch features Auto MDI/MDIX
function for each port and features a store-and-forward switching. It auto-
learns and stores source address on a 4K MAC address table.
