3.Network Application
This section provides a few samples of network topology in which the Switch
is used. In general, the Micro-Switch/24 Desktop Fast Ethernet Switch is
designed as a segment switch. That is, with its large address table (4K MAC
address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking
segments.
You can also use the Micro-Switch/24 to connect PCs, workstations, and
servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the Switch. The
switch automatically learns node addresses, which are subsequently used to
filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address. The Switch can
connect with another switch or hub to interconnect each of your small,
switched workgroups to form a larger switched network.
Small Workgroup
The Micro-Switch/24 can be used as a standalone switch to which personal
computers, servers, and printer servers are directly connected to form a
small workgroup.
