1. Introduction
Gigabit Ethernet over copper technology is a cost-effective way for
network equipment to be upgraded from Fast Ethernet to Gigabit speeds
without the use of expensive fiber optics cabling. Gigabit networks create
high-speed backbone connections between switches, servers, databases
and end stations.
The MIL-S8000G, an 8-Port Gigabit switch, is an ideal solution for solving
traffic block at the core of the network. It offers eight auto-negotiation
10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports that can significantly improve
your network’s backbone performance. The switch will fit into any level
network to act as an exit to the backbone switch that can handle
throughput speeds up to 2000Mbps at Full-duplex mode.
Figure 1-1. MIL-S8000G
The switch will automatically detect the speed of the device that you plug
into it to allow connections to 10, 100 or 1000Mbps devices.
The eight port Gigabit switch features automatic MDI/MDIX connections
for each port. It also features store-and-forward switching and auto-
learning of source addresses with an 8,000 entry MAC address table.
