Applications
The Model FS308 switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring your
network connections. Each switch can be used as a standalone device or can be
used with 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps hubs or other interconnection devices in
various configurations. The configuration examples in this section illustrate the
integration of the switches in various network environments using other
NETGEAR products.
Desktop Switching
The Model FS308 switch is used as a desktop switch to build a small network
that enables users to have 100 Mbps access to a file server. If a full-duplex
adapter card is installed in the server or PC, a 200 Mbps connection is possible
on the port where the server or PC is connected.
Key
Segment Switching and Bridging from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps
The Model FS308 switch is used as a switch that segments a network into
multiple connected pieces, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. The
Model FS308 switch can segment networks that are built with the NETGEAR
Model DS108 and Model EN104 hubs and can function as an eight-port bridge
connecting traditional 10BASE-T Ethernet networks to 100BASE-TX Fast
Ethernet networks.
