Segment Application
For enterprise networks where large data packets are constantly processed, this switch
is suitable for department users to connect to the corporate backbone.
Figure 4-2 Segment Application
The 1008 switch can be directly connected to PCs, workstations, and servers. The
switch automatically learns node addresses, which are subsequently used to filter and
forward all traffic based on the destination address. You can use any of the copper ports
to connect with another switch to interconnect each of your small-switched workgroups
to form a larger switched network.
Figure 4-3 Use fiber port to extend the distance between workgroups
In the above illustration, two 1008 switches are used to interconnect two small
workgroups.
