GE-800 Gigabit Copper Switch
User Guide
4.Network Application
This section provides you one sample of network topology in which the GE-800
Gigabit Copper Switch is used. In general, the GE-800 Gigabit Copper Switch is
designed to be used as a high-bandwidth backbone switch.
You can use the GE-800 Gigabit Copper Switch to connect servers, switches,
workstation, and PCs ( basically, the Gigabit 1000Base-T NIC has installed into
the PC ) to each other by connecting these devices directly to the Switch. The
Switch automatically learns node address, which are subsequently used to fi lter
and forward all traffi c based on the destination address.
Backbone Switch
For enterprise networks where large data broadcast are constantly processed, this
switch is an ideal suitable for departmental switches to connect to the Core Switch.
All ports can connect to departmental switches, and the departmental switches
can be connected to the GE-800 Gigabit Copper Switch. Then all the devices in
this network can communicate with each other. Connecting servers to the Core
Switch allow each end station to access the server’s data.
Figure 4-1. The example of network connection, which GE-800 Gigabit Copper
Switch act as a Core Switch
This switch is an ideal solution for backbone connectivity. In the above example,
servers, department switches, and workstation are directly connected to the Core
Switch, GE-800 Gigabit Copper Switch.
