1.3 Applications

This section provides two network topology examples in which the Switch is used.

1.3.1 Standalone Workgroup

In this application, the Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be

expected in the near future.

The Switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers

directly to the Switch’s port or connect other switches to the Switch.

In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the

network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers

etc.

1.3.2 Bridging

With its large address table and high performance, the Switch is an ideal solution for department

networks to connect to the corporate backbone or for connecting network segments.
