3.Network Application

This section provides a few samples of network topology in which the Switch

is  used.  In  general,  the  Micro-Switch/24  Desktop  Fast  Ethernet  Switch  is

designed as a segment switch. That is, with its large address table (4K MAC

address)  and  high  performance,  it  is  ideal  for  interconnecting  networking

segments.

You  can  also  use  the  Micro-Switch/24  to  connect  PCs,  workstations,  and

servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the Switch. The

switch automatically learns node addresses, which are subsequently used to

filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address. The Switch can

connect  with  another  switch  or  hub  to  interconnect  each  of  your  small,

switched workgroups to form a larger switched network.

Small Workgroup                  

The Micro-Switch/24 can be used as a standalone switch to which personal

computers,  servers,  and  printer  servers  are  directly  connected  to  form  a

small workgroup.
