Network Application
This section provides user a few samples of network topology in which the switch is
used. In general, the 8 10/100/1000Base-T with 1 1000Base-X SFP/RJ45 Combo
port Web Managed Switch is designed as a segment switch. That is, with its
address table (8k 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 10/100/1000Base-T with 1 1000Base-X SFP/RJ45 Combo port Web
Managed 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 depends on the type of fiber transceiver.
Small Workgroup
The 8 10/100/1000Base-T with 1 1000Base-X SFP/RJ45 Combo port Web
Managed Switch can be used as a standalone switch to which personal computers,
server, printer server, are directly connect to form small workgroup.
