3. Network Application
This section provides you a few examples of network topology in which
the 8-Port switch can be used. The switch is designed to be used as a
desktop or segment switch.
The switch automatically learns node addresses, which are
subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the
destination address.
Stand Alone
The 8-Port switch is designed to be a compact switch, which is
an ideal
solution for a home or small workgroup. The switch can be used as a
standalone switch to which personal computers, servers, and printer servers
are directly connected to form small workgroups.
