    ABOUT THIS GUIDE Congratulations on your purchase of the DGS-1216T 16-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet+2-Port Mini GBIC Web Smart Switch. This device integrates 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package. Purpose This guide discusses how to install and configure the DGS-1216T Web Smart Switch.

  • Page 9: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the DGS-1216T and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet switching technology. Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet.

  • Page 10: Fast Ethernet Technology

    tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and routing internetworking technologies. And with expected advances in the coming years in silicon technology and digital signal processing that will enable Gigabit Ethernet to eventually operate over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling, outfitting your network with a powerful 1000-Mbps- capable backbone/server connection creates a flexible foundation for the next generation of network technology products.

  • Page 11: Switching Technology

    Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.

  • Page 12: Vlan (Virtual Local Area Network)

    VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their physical location and can communicate as if a common broadcast domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce latency and need for routers, using faster switching instead.
