By addressing the entire spectrum of Ethernet data rates (10/100/1000 Mbps), the
switches enable you to introduce high-speed Gigabit Ethernet backbones into your
existing network, while maintaining established connections to the 10 Mbps and 100
Mbps segments that already exist.
Summary of Features
The switches have the following features:
" Support for 128K MAC addresses or 64K IP addresses in the switch
forwarding database (FDB)
