Chapter 3: Network Application
This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which the switch is used. In general,
Ether-FSH2422W is designed as a segment switch which with its large address table (4k MAC address)
and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting with
Ether-FSH2422W. 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, the user can also use fiber
ports to connect switches. The distance between two switches by connecting with fiber cable can be up
to 550 m (multi-mode fiber) or 10 kilometer (single-mode fiber).
3-1 Small Workgroup
The Ether-FSH2422W can be used as a standalone switch to which personal computers, server, printer
server, are directly connected to form a small workgroup.
