Planet FSD-2405 [12/18] Auto negotiation

Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switching, the source address

and corresponding port number of each incoming and outgoing packet

are stored in a routing table. This information is subsequently used to lter

packets whose destination address is on the same segment as the source

address. This connes the network trafc to its respective domain, reducing

the overall load on the network.

The Switch performs "Store and Forward" therefore, no error packets occur.

More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur.

3.5 Auto-Negotiation

The STP ports on the Switch have built-in “Auto-negotiation”. This technology

automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a connection is

established with another network device (usually at Power On or Reset).

This is done by detect the modes and speeds at the second of both device

is connected and capable of, both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX devices can

connect with the port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode.
