Multiport Bridge With High-Bandwidth Backbone - Planet FGSW-1602 User Manual

increases to beyond the performance of standard 10Base-T or 100Base-TX hubs. Operating the Switch at full duplex further
increases performance
1000Base Solution
You can upgrade your server with a Gigabit Ethernet NIC, and introduce a Gigabit backbone switch too. This contain several
switch ports which provides much faster access to your server with minimum disruption. See Figure 3-5.

Multiport Bridge with High-Bandwidth Backbone

With a Switch, you can divide large network to ease congestion, and connect 10Base-T networks to 100Base-TX or 100Base to
1000Base networks for more flexibility. Adding your Switch to a large network creates more segments in that network. The
Switch built-in filtering function separates a segment's local traffic from network traffic, reducing the amount of network traffic
and easing congestion.

Using your hub, you can also connect 10Base-T networks and 100Base-TX and 1000Base-SX/LX networks together for more
flexibility in your network topology. As in the Figure 3-5 shown above, the Switch can connect through one port to a 10Base-T
network, and through another port, connect to a 100Base-TX port, creating one network. This switch can also connect to a
1000Base-LX or SX port.
