Application Example—Desktop Switching
Your NETGEAR Smart Switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring your network
connections. It can be used as a stand-alone device or with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 10/100 Mbps, and
1000 Mbps hubs and switches. For example, the NETGEAR Smart Switch can be used as desktop
switch to build a small network that enables users to have 1000 Mbps access to a file server.
With full-duplex enabled, the switch port connected to the server or PC can provide 2000 Mbps
throughput.
