Application Examples
The SMC6752AL2 switch is not only designed to segment your network,
but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network
connections. Some typical applications are described below.
Collapsed Backbone
The SMC6752AL2 switch is an excellent choice for Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is
expected in the near future. In a basic stand-alone configuration, it can
provide direct full-duplex connections for up to 52 workstations or
servers. When the time comes for further expansion, just connect to
another hub or switch using one of the Gigabit Ethernet ports built into
the front panel or a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver.
In the figure below, the switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a
small LAN. It is providing dedicated full-duplex connections to
workstations, power users, and servers.
