• IEEE 802.3u-compliant autonegotiating ports, with four modes:
— 10BASE-T half-duplex
— 10BASE-T full-duplex
— 100BASE-TX half-duplex
— 100BASE-TX full-duplex
• Two hardware-based priority queues per port
• Multi-Link Trunking (MLT) with up to 4 ports in a trunk and up to 6 MLT 
groups in a switch with a single trunk able to span multiple I/O modules, 
supporting switch-to-switch trunks and switch-to-server trunks
• Ability to remove and install a module (hot swap) without powering down the 
switch chassis
• Port mirroring by port, by source, and by destination MAC address
• IP Multicast optimization using Internet Group Management Protocol 
(IGMP) snooping 
• RMON port support for the following four groups:
— Alarms
— Events
— Statistics
— History
• Port for configuring and managing the switch locally or remotely:
— Console port on the Passport 8190SM module
