Chapter 1 Introduction

Fast Ethernet Technology

The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity

of desktop computing applications are fueling the needs for high

performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN

technologies are proposed or available to provide greater

bandwidth and improve client/server response times. Among

them, Fast Ethernet, or 100Base-T, provides a non-disruptive,

smooth evolution from the current 10Base-T technology, that by

statistics, is installed in over 70% of LANs worldwide. The non-

disruptive and smooth evolution nature, and the dominating

potential market base, virtually guarantee cost effective and high

performance Fast Ethernet solutions in the years to come.

100Base-T is an IEEE standard for a 100Mbps version of 10Base-

T. As Table Chapter 1 -1 shows, 100Base-T is essentially

10Base-T, only faster. It provides 10 times the performance of

10Base-T for less than twice the price. Like 10Base-T, it uses the

same CSMA/CD access method with a protocol standard proven

by over 70% of installed LANs over the last 20 years.

Except for reducing the “bit time” by a factor of 10 from the

CSMA/CD MAC of the 10Base-T, 100Base-T uses the same

packet format, packet length, error control, and management

information.

As part of the 100Base-T, the media specifications - 100Base-TX,

T4, FX - further enables users to retain their existing cabling

infrastructure while migrating to Fast Ethernet.

Table Chapter 1 -1, Ethernet vs. Fast Ethernet

Switching technology

Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet

technology is the development of the 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.

Switched Ethernet vs. Legacy Ethernet is analogous to using

private telephone lines vs. party lines. Connecting to a switched

port, each Ethernet LAN segment has dynamic full performance

or “wire-speed”. Therefore, a switch effectively splits a physical

shared-access LAN into bridged multiple LAN segments. Each

segment supports a workgroup, or even provides a dedicated

connection to a desktop or server. The result is a multiple fold

boost in total network bandwidth, and more predictable

performance under heavy network load.

10/100 Switching technology

10/100 Switching is an integral extension of Fast Ethernet. It

provides not only the 100Mbps high-speed “pipe-line” for

carrying aggregated 10Mbps traffic, but also the necessary

bridging between the 10Base-T and 100Base-T MAC formats.

Combining Fast Ethernet and Switching technologies, they

provide bandwidth to satisfy the demand of local workgroups.

They also provide a high-speed link to carry local network traffic

to elsewhere in a network.

Benefits of Switching

From the technical point of view, Ethernet switching technology

dramatically boosts the total bandwidth of a LAN network. It also

puts configuration flexibility and bandwidth adaptability into the

local workgroups where the majority of work load is generated

from a business operation. Switching further eliminates the

congestion problem inherent to the contention oriented Ethernet

CSMA/CD protocol, thereby improving predictable response

times under heavy network load. In the past, this congestion

under heavy load was alleviated by the much more expensive

routing technology.

From the workgroup applications point of view, the new wave of

Object oriented distributed Client/Server applications demands

higher bandwidth and tighter integration of client workstations

with servers. The legacy shared-access 10Mbps Ethernet

technology can no longer provide both bandwidth and predictable

response times to this new generation of workgroup environment.

From economics point of view, Fast Ethernet switching not only

satisfies both technical and business requirements, but also

preserves the existing users’ investment in the huge 10Base-T

Ethernet installed base. This compatibility insures a path for users

to add, change, and migrate to Fast Ethernet as needs arise over

time. It also provides a less expensive and more flexible

bandwidth solution directly to local workgroups where the

majority of work load is generated, instead of using much more

expensive and management-intensive routers that usually cater to

the backbone network.

Overview of the TE-100/S14 Ethernet

Switch

The TRENDnet TE-100/S14 Ethernet Switch supports:

• One 100Mbps Fast Ethernet (100Base-TX) port and four

10Mbps Ethernet (10Base-T) ports, with each port supporting

dedicated full duplex LAN segments.

• Store-and-forward Ethernet packet switching.

• The IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Algorithm for network loop

detection and prevention, and topology re-configuration.

• One RS-232 port allowing local terminal access to

comprehensive setup and management functions.

• The EEPROM (flash memory) implementation allowing in-

field upgrade through the Out-of-Band RS-232 port.

• Comprehensive LED display of the System and individual

LAN segment status.

• Self-test during power on to ensure system integrity.

These features ensure that the TE-100/S14 Switch is suitable for

simple workgroups, and for large networks.
