CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION R The NETGEAR Model GS524T 24-Port Copper Gigabit Switch provides you with a low-cost, high-performance network solution and is designed to anchor and interconnect 10/100/1000 megabits per second (Mbps) workgroups using copper Gigabit links. Features The Model GS524T switch has the following key features: • 24 full-duplex copper Gigabit ports with standard RJ-45 connectors • Automatic address learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The table contains up to 32,000 media access control (MAC) addresses (that is, the switch can support networks with as many as 32,000 devices). • Address aging function to automatically track changes in network configuration • Protocol independence and compatibility with all common protocols, such as TCP/IP, Netware, DECNet, Microsoft Networks, and AppleTalk • Full-duplex mode to double throughput of point-to-point connections by letting individual ports transmit and receive concurrently when the other end also supports full-duplex mode • Wire-speed filtering and forwarding of the traffic • Store-and-forward intelligent processing to minimize erroneous packets on the net- work • Easy Plug and Play installation with no software to configure, which saves time and minimizes the potential for configuration errors • Auto UplinkTM in all ports to make the right connection • Auto-negotiation with link partners to speeds of 10, 100, or 1000Mbps on all ports • Flow control traffic management to ensure no packets are dropped if there are back-ups or bottlenecks in the network introduction 1-1
