and serviced in accordance with applicable documentation; provided that a 
completed Registration Card is returned to an Authorized D-Link Service 
Office within ninety (90) days after the date of original retail purchase of the 
Hardware.  If a completed Registration Card is not received by an 
authorized D-Link Service Office within such ninety (90) period, then the 
Warranty Period shall be ninety (90) days from the date of purchase. 
Product Type Warranty Period Product (excluding power supplies and 
fans), if purchased and delivered in the fifty

Columbia (“USA”) As long as the 
original purchaser 
still owns the 
product Product purchased or delivered outside the USA  One (1) Year Power Supplies and Fans  One (1) Year Spare parts and spare kits  Ninety (90) days D-Link’s sole obligation shall be to repair or replace the defective Hardware 
at no charge to the original owner.  Such repair or replacement will be 
rendered by D-Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Office.  The 
replacement Hardware need not be new or of an identical make, model or 
part; D-Link may in its discretion may replace the defective Hardware (or 
any part thereof) with any reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably 
determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects  
						

							 
iii to the defective Hardware.  The Warranty Period shall extend for an 
additional ninety (90) days after any repaired or replaced Hardware is 
delivered. If a material defect is incapable of correction, or if D-Link 
determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to repair or replace 
the defective Hardware, the price paid by the original purchaser for the 
defective Hardware will be refunded by D-Link upon return to D-Link of the 
defective Hardware.  All Hardware (or part thereof) that is replaced by D-
Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property 
of D-Link upon replacement or refund.

2 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the DES-1008D and some 
background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching 
technology. 
Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of 
desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high 
performance networks.  A number of high-speed LAN technologies 
have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve 
client/server response times.  Among them, 100BASE-T (Fast 
Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from the 
current 10BASE-T technology.  The non-disruptive and smooth 
evolution nature, and the dominating potential market base, virtually 
guarantee cost effective and high performance Fast Ethernet solutions 
in the years to come. 
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a new standard specified by the IEEE 802.3 
LAN committee.  It is an extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet standard 
with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps, while 
maintaining the CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol.  Since the 100Mbps 
Fast Ethernet is compatible with all other 10Mbps Ethernet 
environments, it provides a straightforward upgrade and takes 
advantage of the existing investment in hardware, software, and 
personnel training. 
 
Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology 
is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges
