5.4 Application
An Ethernet switch can be used to overcome the hub to hub connectivity
limitations as well as improve overall network performance. Switch makes
intelligent decisions about where to send network traffic based on the
destination address of the packet. As a result, the switch can significantly
reduce unnecessary traffic.
The example below demonstrates the switch ability to segment the network.
The number of nodes on each segment is reduced thereby minimizing
network contention (collisions) and boosting the available bandwidth per
port.
User can setup VLAN of the Intelligent Switch for network management.
User can also setup Trunk connection of the Intelligent Switch for faster
trunk connection between switches. The administrator can manage the
network connection by Telnet / Console / Web-Browser / NMS to the
Intelligent Switch to monitor the network
The following figure is an application example of a 24+2G model Intelligent
Switch.
