Network Application
This section provides a few samples of network topology in which the switch is used. In
general, the 8 10/100TX plus 1 10/100/1000T + 1 MINI GBIC Managed Switch is designed
as a segment switch which with its large address table (8k MAC address) and high
performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting with 8
10/100TX plus 1 10/100/1000T + 1 MINI GBIC Managed Switch. The switch automatically
learns nodes address, which are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on
the destination address.
By using Uplink port, the switch can connect with another switch or hub to interconnect
other small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched network. Meanwhile, user can
also use fiber ports to connect switches.
Small Workgroup
The 8 10/100TX plus 1 10/100/1000T + 1 MINI GBIC Managed Switch can be used as a
standalone switch to which personal computers, server, printer server, are directly connect
to form a small workgroup.
