Segment Bridge
For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed,
this switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate
backbone.
In the illustration below, two Ethernet switches with PCs, print servers, and local
servers attached, are both connected to the switch. All the devices in this network
can communicate with each other through the switch. Connecting servers to the
switch allows other users to access the data on server.
