Application Examples

The SM24-100SFP-AH is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. Some typical applications are described in the following pages.

Collapsed Backbone

The SM24-100SFP-AH is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future. In a basic stand-alone configuration, it can provide direct full-duplex connections to workstations or servers. When the time comes for further expansion, just connect to another switch using one of the SFP ports or a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver.

In the figure below, the switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to workstations and 1000 Mbps full-duplex connections to power users and servers.
