Dual-Speed Switches

Overview

The ever-evolving corporate network and the exploding popularity of the Internet and high bandwidth desktop

applications are driving the need for Fast Ethernet, work segmentation and traffic prioritization. High-

performance and broad feature sets that address these needs are required.
The Compaq SW3322 and the SW3323 are Compaq’s high-density, dual-speed Layer 2 switches that enable

high throughput for traffic within and between sites.
When employed in conjunction with backbone solutions such as the Compaq 5411/5422 Gigabit Switches, the

SW3322 and SW3323 are ideal for meeting the needs of today’s high-performance networks. Their low cost and

high port count make them cost-effective solutions for dedicated 10/100 Mbps connections to the desktop. Their

extensive features provide the management needed for the workgroup and local backbone.

Auto-negotiation

Each RJ-45 switched port on the SW3322 and SW3323 automatically senses if it is a 10 MB/s or a 100 MB/s

network and sets the appropriate speed upon connection, thus allowing for seamless communication among the

Ethernet family of protocols. Customers then have the flexibility to maintain their current Ethernet infrastructure

and add Fast Ethernet as necessary.

Diagnostic LED Indicators

Port LED Indicators on the switch display link and network activity for easy installation and troubleshooting.

Software Download

Switch software is stored in a 2-MB flashable ROM and can easily be upgraded by using the industry-standard

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) to download new software to the switch. Software can also be downloaded

using the XMODEM protocol via the serial console port.

Performance

These dual-speed switches help address today’s network requirements with outstanding performance and a

broad feature set.

These IEEE 802.1D-compliant Ethernet switches support 24 IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet ports.

Each

port can alternatively operate as an IEEE 802.3i 10Base-T port. The SW3323 also ships with a 2-port 100Base-

FX module that, when installed, configures the SW3323 to support Fast Ethernet over fiber (IEEE 802.3u) on

ports

1 and 2.

Full-Duplex Mode

Full-duplex mode allows the switch to transmit and receive data simultaneously, increasing throughput, as well

as extending distances up to 2 Km with fiber.

Flow Control

The switch supports frame-based and back-pressure type flow control, which are configurable on a per port

basis. For full-duplex flow control, the SW3322 is compliant with the IEEE 802.3x specification.

Class of Service

For optimal use with multimedia and other bandwidth-intensive applications, selected traffic passing through the

switches can be assigned a higher priority and will not be hindered in flowing through during periods of high

congestion.
