Sample Applications
The TigerSwitch 100 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 TigerSwitch 100 is an excellent choice for mixed Fast 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 cascade the TigerSwitch
to a Fast Ethernet hub or switch, add another TigerSwitch to the
stack, or link to another workgroup using a Gigabit connection.
In the figure below, the TigerSwitch 100 is operating as a collapsed
backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 200 Mbps
full-duplex connections to workstations and servers.
