Network Application - Comnet CWGE2FE24MODMS Installation And Operation Manual

3. Network Application

This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which the switch is used.
In general, the CWGE2FE24MODMS switch is designed as a segment switch. That is,
with its large Address table (8000 MAC Address) and high performance, it is ideal for
interconnecting networking segments.
Personal computers, workstations and servers can communicate each other by directly
connecting with CWGE2FE24MODMS switch. The switch automatically learns nodes
Addresses, that are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the
destination Address.
By using the Gigabit copper/SFP combo port (on the rear side of the switch), 10/100Mbps
copper, or Ethernet Fiber port the switch can connect with another switch or hub to
interconnect other small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched network.
Meanwhile, you can also use Ethernet or fiber ports to connect switches. The following
figure is an example of the CWGE2FE24MODMS switch application topology.
