Desktop Switching

The smart switch can be used as a desktop switch to build a small network that enables users to have 1000-Mbps access to a file server. With full duplex enabled, the switch port connected to the server or computer can provide 2000 Mbps throughput. If a 10-Gbps module is used to connect the switch to the file server in full-duplex operation, then the server can provide up to 20 Gbps throughput.
