3. Network Application
This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which the switch is used. In general, the 3-slot Gigabit Chassis switch is designed as a segment switch. That is, with its large address table (4000 MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting with 3-slot Gigabit Chassis s switch. The switch automatically learns nodes address, which are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address.
.
By using Gigabit or Gigabit Fiber 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 Ethernet or Gigabit fiber ports to connect switches. The following figure is an example of the 3-slot Gigabit Chassis switch application topology.
