Network Application
This section provides user a few samples of network topology in witch the switch
is used. In general, the 4 10/100/1000T plus 1 Mini-GBIC Web Managed Switch
is designed as a segment switch. That is, with its address table (8000 MAC
address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking
segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly
connecting with 4 10/100/1000T plus 1 Mini-GBIC Web Managed Switch. The
switch automatically learns nodes address, which are subsequently used to filter
and forward all traffic based on the destination address.
By using Uplink port, the switch can connect with another switch or hub to
interconnect other small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched network.
Meanwhile, you can also use fiber ports to connect switches. The distance
between two switches via fiber cable depends on the type of fiber transceiver.
Small Workgroup
The 4 10/100/1000T plus 1 Mini-GBIC Web Managed Switch can be used as a
standalone switch to which personal computers, server, printer server, are
directly connected to form small workgroup.
Segment Bridge
For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed,
this switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate
backbone.
