Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR

Model SW108 8-port Ethernet Switch.

The Model SW108 switch segments Ethernet networks to relieve bandwidth congestion instantly,

without having to replace network wiring, interface cards, or software.

This guide describes how to install and use the switch. It includes physical conﬁguration

guidelines for connecting multiple 10 megabit per second (Mbps) hubs and for connecting

10 Mbps Ethernet stations, PCs, and servers.

Beneﬁts of Using SwitchingTechnology

Most of installed networks today are based on shared network technology. With this technology,

a number of users or groups of users share 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or other amounts of available

network bandwidth (network capacity). For example, with a total of 10 users, the average

bandwidth available to each user on a 10 Mbps network is calculated as 10/10 Mbps, or 1 Mbps

of bandwidth per user.

Ethernet switches signiﬁcantly increase network throughput by segmenting network trafﬁc. They

check trafﬁc coming in to each port to learn which network device is located on which segment.

Based on this information, switches forward cross-segment trafﬁc only to the appropriate segment.

The trafﬁc will not show up in the other segments since it is ﬁltered out. In this way, network

capacity is fully reserved for trafﬁc destined for that segment only, and other segments are not

saturated with unnecessary trafﬁc.

Ethernet switches provide private, dedicated, 10 Mbps capacity to each connected PC/server or

hub/workgroup segment, which is signiﬁcantly higher than in a shared environment. The higher

bandwidth enables applications such as multimedia, imaging, video, or high- performance

client-server functions among users who are spread out over the network.

Installation Guide for the Model SW108 Ethernet Switch

1-2 Introduction

This bandwidth improvement is accomplished very easily, with no change to the desktop (the

network interface cards or software, and network wiring). As a result, the performance upgrade

and the applications it enables are obtained very quickly and at a low cost.

Types of Ethernet Switches

Ethernet switches can be classiﬁed in different ways—as desktop switches or segment switches.

desktop switch

is designed to support one or a few PCs per port. It is generally used when

users need the full 10 Mbps network throughput to support the applications. Often, these switches

support only a single MAC (media access control) address per port, and are relatively inexpensive

compared to a segment switch.A

segment switch

, in contrast, is designed to support an entire

workgroup on each port, with each port having signiﬁcant memory buffering and supporting

thousands of MAC addresses.

Switches can also be classiﬁed by speed. As the name suggests, 10 Mbps switches support only

10 Mbps connections. Similarly, 100 Mbps switches support only 100 Mbps connections. Usually,

10/100 Mbps switches have primarily 10 Mbps ports with one or few 100 Mbps ports.Autosensing

10/100 Mbps switches support 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps connections on each port and are the most

versatile and adaptable switch type.

Model SW108 Switch Overview

The Model SW108 switch is a 10 Mbps switch that can be used as either a segment or a desktop

switch. Its design enables it to function as a segment switching, yet its pricing makes the switch

very affordable for use in desktop applications.

Up to 4 switching paths (8 paths in full-duplex mode) can be established at the same time, with

each path crossing two ports, performing switching that sends packets to the appropriate port

according to the destination address scanned from the packet header. This technique reduces the

latency of packet transmission to 75 microseconds (

s) or less. Compared to approximately 800

for a bridge or 1800

s for a router, the Model SW108 switch delivers a major improvement in the

network performance.

Because the Model SW108 switch is a device functioning on the MAC layer, the switch is protocol

independent and is compatible with IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, TCP/IP, NetWare, DECnet, and

XNS protocols.
