1. Amaswishi angaphethwe
Okokuqala, ake sikhulume ngamaswishi angaphethwe. Amaswishi angaphethwe abizwa nangokuthi ama- fool switch. Kalula nje, abacubunguli idatha ngokuqondile, vele baxhume ikhebula le-inthanethi. Iswishi engaphethwe ingeyedivayisi yesendlalelo sesixhumanisi sedatha. Ingakwazi ukuhlonza imininingwane yekheli le-MAC kuphakethe ledatha, bese iyidlulisela ngokwekheli le-MAC, futhi irekhode lawa makheli e-MAC nezimbobo ezihambisanayo kuthebula lamakheli angaphakathi alo.

Inzuzo yayo yukuthi kulula ukuyisebenzisa, ipulaki nokudlala, ingasetshenziswa enanini elikhulu lochungechunge, efanelekile ukusetshenziswa ezindaweni ezinomthamo omkhulu wemishini ye-PC, futhi ishibhile futhi ingonga imali.

2. Ukushintsha Okuphethwe
Ukushintsha kokuphathwa kwenethiwekhi kusho ngokwezwi nezwi, ukushintshwa okungaphathwa yinethiwekhi, kunezindlela ezintathu zokuphatha, ezingaphathwa ngembobo ye-serial, ngeWebhu, nangesoftware yokuphatha inethiwekhi. Idatha yeswishi yokuphatha inethiwekhi izolungiswa nge-Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Iphrothokholi ye-SNMP okwamanje iyiphrothokholi yokuphatha inethiwekhi esetshenziswa kakhulu esekelwe kumanethiwekhi e-TCP/IP. Ingenza ikheli ledatha, imbobo, uhlobo lwephrothokholi, isevisi, njll. Isihlungi, ngokuvamile sinomsebenzi wokuhlukanisa i-VLAN.

Umsebenzi wokushintsha okuphethwe ukugcina zonke izinsiza zenethiwekhi zisesimweni esihle. Umkhiqizo wokushintsha ukuphathwa kwenethiwekhi uhlinzeka ngezindlela eziningi zokuphatha inethiwekhi ezisuselwe kutheminali yokulawula ichweba (i-Console), ngokusekelwe ekhasini lewebhu, futhi isekela ukungena ngemvume okukude kwe-Telnet kunethiwekhi. Ngakho-ke, abalawuli benethiwekhi bangenza ukuqapha kwesikhathi sangempela kwasendaweni noma kude kwesimo sokusebenza sokushintsha kanye nesimo sokusebenza kwenethiwekhi, futhi baphathe isimo sokusebenza kanye nemodi yokusebenza yazo zonke izikebhe zokushintshela ekubukeni komhlaba wonke.

Yiziphi izinzuzo zamaswishi aphethwe?
*Umkhawulokudonsa omkhulu wendiza engemuva, isivinini sokudlulisa idatha ngokushesha;
*Kunezinhlobo eziningi zamachweba anikeziwe, futhi amafomu okuxhumana ahlukene njenge-SFP, GE, i-Ethernet esheshayo, i-Ethernet, njll. angakhethwa ngokuya ngokusetshenziswa kwenethiwekhi;
*I-Support vlan division, abasebenzisi bangahlukanisa izindawo zezinhlelo zokusebenza ezahlukene, balawule ngempumelelo futhi baphathe inethiwekhi, futhi bacindezele ngokwengeziwe iziphepho zokusakaza;
*Ukudluliswa kwedatha enkulu, izinga lokulahleka kwephakethe elincane, nokubambezeleka okuphansi;
*Ukuhlanganiswa kwesixhumanisi kuvumela ukushintshwa namaswishi namaswishi namaseva ukuthi kuhlanganiswe ndawonye ngezimbobo eziningi ze-Ethernet ukuze kuzuzwe ukulinganisa komthwalo;
*Ukugeleza kolwazi lwedatha kungalawulwa ngokusekelwe kumthombo, indawo okuyiwa kuyo, nengxenye yenethiwekhi;
*Ngomsebenzi wokuvikela we-ARP, ingathuthukisa futhi yehlise ukukhwabanisa kwe-ARP yenethiwekhi;
*Ikheli le-MAC lingaboshwa;
*Umsebenzi wokwenza isibuko sembobo ungakopisha ithrafikhi kanye nesimo sembobo eyodwa iye kwenye imbobo yeswishi ukuze igadwe;
*Sekela umsebenzi we-DHCP;
*Uhlu lokulawula ukufinyelela lungalawula amaphakethe wedatha ye-IP, njengokukhawulela ithrafikhi yayo, ukufinyelela, nokuhlinzeka nge-QoS, njll.;
*Ngokusebenza kahle kwezokuphepha, ingakwazi ukuhlunga futhi ikhiye amakheli e-MAC, futhi ingakha amatafula okudlulisela phambili e-MAC amile;
*Ingakwazi ukusekela i-IEEE802.1Q ne-VLAN ngokusekelwe kubuchwepheshe bechweba. I-GVRP (GARP, VLAN Registration Protocol) kanye ne-GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol) ehilelekile ku-IEEE802.1QVLAN nazo zisekelwa kabanzi;
*Ngomsebenzi we-SNMP, ingaphatha futhi ilawule kangcono inethiwekhi;
*Uhlelo lokusebenza olunwebekayo olulula futhi oluvumelana nezimo, lungaphathwa ngesofthiwe yokuphatha inethiwekhi, noma lufinyelelwe ukude ngolawulo lwayo lokufinyelela, okwandisa ukuvikeleka nokulawulwa kwenethiwekhi.
