This section provides you a few samples of network topology in witch the Switch
is used. In general, the 8 Gigabit Copper with one MINI GBIC Smart switch is
designed as a segment switch. That is, with its 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 8 Gigabit Copper with one MINI GBIC Smart switch. The switch
automatically learns nodes addres s, which are subsequently used to filter and
forward all traffic based on the destination address.
By using Up link port, 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 fiber ports to connect switches. The distance
between two switches via fiber cable can be up to 220 or 550 meters (multi-mode
fiber) or 60 kilometers (single-mode fiber).
Small Workgroup
The MIL-S8001TG switch can be used as a standalone switch to which
personal computers, servers, and printer servers are directly connected to form
a small workgroup.
