Application Examples
The SMC6824MPE PoE 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 SMC6824MPE switch is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet and Fast
Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.
You can easily build on this basic configuration, adding direct full-duplex
connections to 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.
In the figure below, the switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a
small LAN. It is providing dedicated 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to
workstations and 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to power users and
servers. In addition, connected IP phones and wireless access points are
receiving PoE power from the switch.
