28. s 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 Giga Switch performs Store and forward therefore no error packets occur More reliably it reduces the re transmission rate No packet loss will occur Auto Negotiation The STP ports on the gigabit 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 TX and 1000Base SX can only connected Full duplex mode Chapter 3 Configuring the SMC8506T Configuration Operation Document Launch your HyperTerminal program and create a new connection with the following settings After this is done you ll see the M
