INTRODUCTION  
The LevelOne GSW-1601/2401TX 16/24 Port 10/100/1000Mbps  
Switch with Gigabit option is designed to allow simultaneous  
transmission of multiple packets via an internal high-speed data  
channel. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than  
bridges or routers in most environments.  
The LevelOne GSW-1601/2401TX 16/24 Port 10/100/1000Mbps  
Switch with Gigabit option is equipped with Category 5 copper cable or  
fiber optic cable for uplinking to a network backbone or network server.  
It is compatible with all 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps Ethernet  
environments. The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by  
Gigabit Ethernet will support faster and more users applications with  
generating more traffic.  
In addition, the LevelOne GSW-1601/2401TX 16/24 Port  
10/100/1000Mbps Switch with Gigabit option is also support one  
module slot for 2 Ethernet Gigabit ports to uplink to a server or network  
backbone. These Gigabit Switches are designed for Plug and Play  
installation, allows the network administrator to simply connect the  
network and power cables and the Switching/bridging functions begin  
automatically.  
The front panel of these Gigabit Switches provide LEDs for easy  
recognition of the switch operation status and for troubleshooting.  
These LEDs display the power status for the system and link/ speed/  
collision, full-duplex, transmit and receive status for each port.  
The built-in console interface can be used to configure the Switch’s  
setting for Priority queuing, VLAN, and Port Trunk Groups, Port  
Monitoring and Port Speed.

Twisted-Pair Ports  
Use any of these ports to connect stations or hubs to the  
switch. These ports are MDI-X ports, which means you can  
use ordinary straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect the  
switch to PCs, workstations, or servers through these ports.  
If you need to connect to another device with MDI-X ports such  
as another switch or hub, you should use a crossover cable, or  
connect using the Uplink port (described below).

4. Connect another hub or PC to the other port of Switch by following  
the same process as described in Step3.  
Notice:  
Cable distance for Switch  
The cable distance between Ethernet Switch and hub/PC  
should not exceed 100 meter; fiber cable distance shall not  
exceed 220 meter.  
Make sure the wiring is correct  
It can be used Category 3/4/5 cable in 10 Mbps operation. To reliably  
operate your network at 100Mbps and 1000Mbps, you must use an  
Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) Category 5 cable, or better Data Grade  
cabling. While a Category 3 or 4 cable may initially seem to work,it  
will soon cause data loss.  
Connecting to Network Backbone or Server  
Connect to the Gigabit Ethernet ports with Category 5 copper cable or  
fiber optic cable for uplinking to a network backbone or network server.  
These ports operate at 1000Mbps in full-duplex mode. A valid

source port will only be forwarded to destination ports within the same  
VLAN domain. A broadcast/multicast frame will be forwarded to all  
ports within the VLAN(s) of the source port except the source port  
itself.  
An unicast frame will be forwarded to the destination port only if the  
destination port is in the same VLAN as the source port. If the  
destination port belongs to the another VLAN, the frame will be  
discarded .Each port should be assigned with a dedicated uplink port.  
Unicast frames with unknown destination addresses will be forwarded  
to the uplink port of the source port. An uplink port can either be a  
single port or a trunk.

Uplink Port  
Entry:  
Select “5” from Main Menu.  
Purpose:  
The uplink port provides a way to connect the switch with a repeater  
hub, a workgroup switch, a router, or any type of interconnecting  
device compliance with IEEE 802.3 standards. Switch will send all  
frames with unmatched DA and multicast/broadcast frames to the  
uplink port. It is very important that each port is assigned to an uplink  
port, or data frames might be lost. The uplink port should be configured  
to be within the same VLAN as the source port. If the uplink port is not  
a member of the VLAN, the broadcast or multicast frames will not be  
forwarded to its designated uplink port. Multiple VLANs can share the  
same uplink port.

Switch Operation  
Address Table  
The LevelOne 16/24 Port 10/100/1000Mbps Switch with Gigabit option  
is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of  
many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of  
some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This  
information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch..  
Learning  
When one packet comes in from any port. The LevelOne 16/24 Port  
10/100/1000Mbps Switch with Gigabit option will record the source  
address, port no. and the other related information in address table.  
This information will be used to decide either forwarding or filtering for  
future packets.  
Forwarding & Filtering  
When one packet comes from some port of the Ethernet Switching, it  
will also check the destination address besides the source address  
learning. The Ethernet Switching will lookup the address-table for the  
destination address. If not found, this packet will be forwarded to all the  
other ports except the port which this packet comes in. And these ports  
will transmit this packet to the network it connected. If found, and the  
destination address is located at different port from this packet comes  
in, the Ethernet Switching will forward this packet to the port where this  
destination address is located according to the information from  
address table. But, if the destination address is located at the same  
port with this packet comes in, then this packet will be filtered. Thereby

increasing the network throughput and availability  
Store-and-Forward  
Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques.  
A
Store-and Forward Ethernet Switching stores the incoming frame in an  
internal buffer, do the complete error checking before transmission.  
Therefore, no error packets occurrence, it is the best choice when a  
network needs efficiency and stability.  
The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the  
packet-header, searches the routing table provided for the incoming  
port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding  
makes the switch attractive for connecting servers directly to the  
network, thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the  
switch is most commonly used to segment existing hubs, which nearly  
always improves overall performance. A Ethernet Switching can be  
easily configured in any Ethernet network environment to significantly  
boost bandwidth using conventional cabling and adapters.  
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 filter packets whose destination address is on  
the same segment as the source address. This confines network traffic  
to its respective domain, reducing the overall load on the network.  
The Gigabit Switch performs "Store and forward" therefore, no error  
packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No  
packet loss will occur.  
Auto-Negotiation  
The STP ports on the Gigabit 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. 1000Base-TX and 1000Base-SX can only  
connected Full-duplex mode.
