    HAPTER ETWORK LANNING Introduction to Switching A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. The switch has, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology.
  • Page 26: Application Examples

    ETWORK LANNING Application Examples The TigerSwitch 1000 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 This switch is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.
  • Page 27: Central Wiring Closet

    PPLICATION XAMPLES Central Wiring Closet With 4 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 12 distinct collision domains), this switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports on the switch are providing 1 Gbps full-duplex connections for up to 12 local segments.
  • Page 28: Remote Connections With Fiber Cable

    ETWORK LANNING Remote Connections with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver link can connect to a site up to 10km away. This allows the Gigabit Ethernet switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.
  • Page 29: Making Vlan Connections

    PPLICATION XAMPLES Making VLAN Connections VLANs can be based on port groups, or each data frame can be explicitly tagged to identify the VLAN group to which it belongs. When using port-based VLANs, ports can either be assigned to one specific group or to all groups.
  • Page 30: Using Layer 3 Routing

    ETWORK LANNING Using Layer 3 Routing VLANs can significantly enhance network performance and security. However, if you use conventional routers to interconnect VLANs, you can lose most of your performance advantage. The Gigabit Ethernet Routing Switch provides wire-speed routing, which allows you to eliminate your conventional IP routers, except for a router to handle non-IP protocols and a gateway router linked to the WAN.
  • Page 31: Connectivity Rules

    ONNECTIVITY ULES Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed below for these products. However, note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.
