Applications

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

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.
