TP-LINK 24-Port 10/100Mbps + 4-Port Gigabit L2 Managed Switch TL-SL3428 Hoja De Datos

 

The main function of the switch is forwarding the packets to the correct ports based on the 
destination MAC address of the packets. Address Table contains the port-based MAC address 
information, which is the base for the switch to forward packets quickly. The entries in the Address 
Table can be updated by auto-learning or configured manually. Most the entries are generated and 
updated by auto-learning. In the stable networks, the static MAC address entries can facilitate the 
switch to reduce broadcast packets and enhance the efficiency of packets forwarding remarkably. 
The address filtering feature allows the switch to filter the undesired packets and forbid its 
forwarding so as to improve the network security.
