Application Examples
The Matrix V-Series V2H124-24P switch 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 Matrix V-Series V2H124-24P switch is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet
and Fast Ethernet installations in which 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 via one of the switch’s Fast Ethernet or Gigabit
Ethernet ports.
In the figure below, the 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 servers. In addition,
connected IP phones and wireless access points are receiving PoE power from the
switch.
