Network Application
This section provides you one sample of network topology in which the
5/8-Port Gigabit Switch is used. In general, the 5/8-Port Gigabit Switch is
designed as a high-bandwidth backbone switch.
You can use the 5/8-Port Gigabit Switch to connect servers, switches,
workstation, and PCs (Of course, 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 filter and forward all traffic based on the destination
address.
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 5/8-Port Gigabit 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.
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, 5/8-Port Gigabit Switch.
