The switch is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a
wide range of options in setting up network connections. Some typical
applications are described below.

The Gigabit Ethernet Switches are an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected
in the near future. In a basic stand-alone configuration, it can provide direct
fullduplex connections for up to 24/48 workstations or servers. You can easily
build on this basic configuration, adding direct full-duplex connections to
workstations or servers. When the time comes for further expansion, just
connect to another hub or switch using one of the Gigabit Ethernet ports built
into the front panel, a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver, or a
10G transceiver on an optional module.
In the figure below, the 48-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is operating as a
collapsed backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 10 Mbps fullduplex
connections to workstations and 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to power
users, and 1 Gbps full-duplex connections to servers.
