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 Switch is 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 full-
duplex connections for up to 10 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,
or a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver.
In the figure below, the switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a small
LAN. It is providing dedicated 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to workstations
and 1000 Mbps full-duplex connections to power users, and 1000 Mbps full-
duplex connections to servers.
