Application Examples
The TigerStack 10G 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.
Collapsed Backbone
The TigerStack 10G is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is
expected in the near future. You can easily build on this basic
configuration, adding direct full-duplex connections to workstations or
servers. When the time comes for further expansion, just connect to
another hub or switch using one of the Gigabit Ethernet ports built into
the front panel or a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver.
In the figure below, the 48-port switch is operating as a collapsed backbone
for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 10 Mbps full-duplex
connections to workstations and 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to
power users and and 1 Gbps full-duplex connections to servers.
