Application Examples
The TigerSwitch 10/100 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.
Collapsed Backbone
The TigerSwitch 10/100 is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet and
Fast Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the
near future. 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 cascade the TigerSwitch 10/100 to an
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hub or switch.
In the figure below, the TigerSwitch 10/100 is operating as a collapsed
backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 20 Mbps full-duplex
connections to workstations and 200 Mbps full-duplex connections to
power users and servers.
