Magnum 6K25e Gigabit Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (10/07)

2.4Applications

Magnum 6K25e Fiber Switches offer high performance and modularity. They provide the flexibility of 100Mbps fiber and copper ports as well as Gigabit ports, with industry-standard LAN management software. Magnum 6K25e Switches are easily used in a variety of applications including MANs (metropolitan area networks) client/server computing, secure VLAN- performance upgrades to departmental networks, and LAN traffic centers require Gb backbone services. The performance characteristic of the 6K25e Switches enables them to inter-connect a series of subnets (one subnet per 6K25e Switch port) in a LAN traffic center. The subnet connections may be via fiber or twisted pair cabling, 100Mbps or 10 Mbps speed, and full-or half-duplex mode.

The mixed-media capability is ideal for upgrading existing Ethernet LAN networks where existing cabling must be accommodated. The fiber-built-in media capability is ideal for integrating future-proof fiber cabling into the LAN structure.

Example 1. In a Telecommunications storage data application, a secure managed switch is required to provide an Ethernet backbone for a diversified network with multiple subnets. The backbone consists of high speed LAN segments supported by 1000Mbps full-duplex future-proof fiber media to provide secure long distance LAN connections. The entire network is sharing a higher bandwidth Gigabit-enabled data-mining server for the vital database located in a separate secured building. The copper ports are required for multiple subnets inside the building. The entire spread network is managed to provide easy, detectable, uninterrupted support through a viewable SNMP monitor.
