Cut-Through Switching Method


By default, the switch forwards the packets in a cut-through switching method. That is, the switch begins forwarding a packet before the entire frame is received, normally as soon as the destination address is processed. This process reduces latency. Error handling is performed by the destination devices. User can configure the switch to the "store-and-forward" method with the commands below.


P-3290, P-3295, P-3297 and 4610 series switches don't support cut-through mode.
