Sample Applications
The TigerSwitch 100 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 for the
TigerSwitch 100 are described below.
Collapsed Backbone
The TigerSwitch 100 is an excellent choice for Ethernet installa-
tions 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 cascade the TigerSwitch
100 to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hub or switch.
In the figure below, the TigerSwitch 100T (Model SMC6608T) is
operating as a collapsed backbone for a small LAN. It provides
dedicated 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps half-duplex connections to
workstations and 200 Mbps full-duplex connections to power
users and servers.
