Network Application This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which the switch
is used. In general, the ES-5226RS is designed as a segment switch which with
its large address table (4k MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for
interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly
connecting with ES-5226RS. The switch automatically learns nodes address,
which are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the
destination address.
By using Uplink port, the switch can connect with another switch or hub to
interconnect other small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched network.
Meanwhile, the user can also use fiber ports to connect switches. The distance
between two switches by connecting with fiber cable can be up to 550 m
(multi-mode fiber) or 10 kilometer (single-mode fiber).
Small Workgroup
The ES-5226RS can be used as a standalone switch to which personal
computers, server, printer server, are directly connected to form a small
workgroup.
