NETWORK PLANNING
INTRODUCTION
TO SWITCHING
A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple
packets; it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges
or routers. Therefore the switch has been recognized as one of
the most important devices for today’s networking technology.
When performance bottlenecks are caused by congestion at the
network access point such as file server, the device can be
connected directly to a switched port. And, by using full-duplex
mode, the bandwidth of the dedicated segment can be doubled
to maximize throughput.
When networks are based on repeater (hub) technology, the
distance between end stations is limited by a maximum hop
count. However, a switch can subdividing the network into
smaller and more manageable segments, and linking them to
the larger network than it turns the hop count back to zero and
removes the limitation.
A switch can be easily configured in any Ethernet, Fast Ethernet,
or Gigabit Ethernet network to significantly increase bandwidth
while using conventional cabling and network cards.
APPLICATION
EXAMPLES
The GEPOESM-ESW26K-Port Series Switch implements 24
Gigabit Ethernet TP ports with auto MDIX and 2 slots for the
removable SFP module (GEPOESM-ESW26K port 25/26) which
supports comprehensive types of fiber connection, such as LC
and BiDi-LC modules. It 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 switch is suitable for the following applications.

Remote site application is used in Enterprise or SMB

Peer-to-peer application is used in two remote offices

Office network

High Performance Requirement environment

Advance Security for network safety application

Suitable for data/ voice and video conference application
