In general, the Switch 208T is designed to be used as a segment switch. That it, with its large address table (8000 MAC addresses) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting network segments
In the illustration above, two Ethernet hubs with PCs, printers, and local servers attached, are both connected to a Switch 208T. The devices attached to the two hubs can now communicate with each other through the switch. They can also all communicate with the server that is connected to the switch through its
