Description

The MDS108 is a fully integrated 9-port Ethernet switch designed to support the low-cost requirements of unmanaged switch applications. The MDS108 provides features that are normally not associated with plug-and play technology, while not requiring an external processor to facilitate their utilization.

The MDS108 begins operating immediately at power-up, learning addresses automatically, and forwarding packets at full wire-speed to any of its eight output ports or the XLink expansion port. The default configuration allows operation without using an external EEPROM.

With an EEPROM to configure the device at power-up, the MDS108 provides flexible features: port trunking, port mirroring, port-based VLANs and (QoS) capabilities that are usually associated only with managed switches.

The built-in intelligence capabilites of the MDS108 allows it to recognize and offer packet prioritization using Zarlink Semiconductor’s QoS. Packets are prioritized based upon their layer 2 VLAN priority tag or the layer 3 Type-Of Service/ Differentiated Services (TOS/DS) field. This priority can be defined as transmit and/or drop priority.

Features
