Typical Applications of Token Ring Switching

Token Ring switches are best suited for, although not
limited to, expanding Token Ring networks. These
networks demand high bandwidth, performance,
monitoring, management, and a logical migration
path for the continued growth of the network while
preserving your investment in existing infrastructure.
Offering a significant advantage over traditional
inter-networking equipment, Token Ring switches
bring immediate relief to networks, solving through-
put and management problems. By replacing low per-
formance two-port PC bridges or routers, Token Ring
switching provides the ability to perform Source
Route bridging, transparent bridging, or both with
Source Route Transparent (SRT) bridging. The follow-
ing illustrations depict some possible uses of the
Switch 2000 TR, including ring segmentation and
migration to high-speed technologies.
