Fast Ethernet switch

The CrossFire 8400 Fast Ethernet atm Edge switch features a built-in atm 155-multimode-fiber uplink. The unit also has an expansion slot, which accepts modules that supply either two additional Fast Ethernet ports or an additional atm uplink. Selective flow control prevents packet loss on both half- and full-duplex ports. In full-duplex operation, the switch`s point-to-point connection speeds can approach 200 Mbits/sec over standard Fast Ethernet cabling or fiber. The device provides 1-Gbit/sec aggregate bandwidth, parallel store-and-forward architecture, and direct source-to-destination port transfer.
