1.3 Applications

This section provides two network topology examples in which the Switch is used.

1.3.1 Standalone Workgroup

In this application, the Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be
expected in the near future.
The Switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers
directly to the Switch's port or connect other switches to the Switch.
In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the
network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers
etc.

1.3.2 Bridging

With its large address table and high performance, the Switch is an ideal solution for department
networks to connect to the corporate backbone or for connecting network segments.
