Chapter 3: Network Application
This section provides few samples of network topology in which the switch used. In
general, Ether-GSH2404W is designed as a segment switch. That is, with its large
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
Ether-GSH2404W. 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.
3.1 Small Workgroup
Ether-GSH2404W can be used as a standalone switch for personal computers, server
and printer server which are directly connected to form a small workgroup.
