Segment Application
For enterprise networks where large data packets are constantly processed, this switch
is suitable for department users to connect to the corporate backbone.
Figure 4-2 Segment Application
The 1008 switch can be directly connected to PCs, workstations, and servers. The
switch automatically learns node addresses, which are subsequently used to filter and
forward all traffic based on the destination address. You can use any of the copper ports
to connect with another switch to interconnect each of your small-switched workgroups
to form a larger switched network.
4.1 Network
Configuration
This section explains how to configure console management via a direct connection to
the console port of the switch. Console management involves the administration of the
switch via a direct connection to the RS-232 console port. This port is a female DB-9
connector. From the
Main Console Management Menu,
you have access to all of the
management functions of the switch.
