...minimum features: • Gigabit (1000-Mbps) or faster Ethernet ports • Support for IGMP v2 (or v3) snooping • Support for jumbo frames (packets) up to 9216-byte size—and you must enable Jumbo frames when configuring the switches • High bandwidth con...

...for Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet applications. The expanded SFP standard, SFP+, supports speeds of 10 Gbps or higher over fiber. XFP is a separate standard that also supports 10-Gbps speeds. The primary difference between SFP+ and the slight...

...of SFPs—especially Gigabit SFPs and 10GBASE SFP+ and XFP transceivers—can add significantly to the price of a switch, this lock-out scheme raises hardware costs and limits transceiver choices. • Many vendors don’t advertise that SFP slots on th...

...Do you want to go for Gigabit technology or at least have the chance for upgrading to Gigabit? Do you want to have at least some control who is doing what, when and from where? Talking about the features there are many protocols and abbreviations ...

...if you want to go for Gigabit or have at least the chance to do so. Furthermore you have only limited control on the outlet itself. Disabling a port may be possible through the management of the switch, but which port of the switch is which outlet...

...much faster than FDDI—Gigabit Ethernet boasts a cool 1000 Mbps, for instance—FDDI is unmatched over the long haul. Depending on cable type, FDDI networks can stretch up to 100 km in circumference. And FDDI speed can be improved. If the second ring...

...and use a standard Gigabit network switch with IGMP snooping to control the traffic. IGMP is very important in multicasting. This stops an IP switch from passing on multicast data onto every port and prevents performance degradation and wasted ...
