3. Network Application This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which the Switch
is used. In general, the 24 10/100TX plus one Exp. Slot Single IP Stackable
Switch is designed as a segment switch. That is, with its large address table
(8000 MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting
networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly
connecting with 24 10/100TX plus one Exp. Slot Single IP Stackable Switch. 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, you can also use fiber ports to connect switches. The distance
between two switches via fiber cable can be up to 2 kilometer (multi-mode fiber)
or 60 kilometer (single-mode fiber).
