Magnum 6K16V Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (01/04)

www GarrettCom com

Another feature implemented in Magnum 6K16V Switches is a collision-based flow-

control mechanism (when operating at half-duplex only). When the Switch detects that

its free buffer queue space is low, the Switch prevents more frames from entering by

forcing a collision signal on all receiving half-duplex ports in order to stop incoming

traffic.
