Application Examples

The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 is not only designed to segment your

network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network

connections and linking VLANs or IP subnets. Some typical applications

are described below.

Collapsed Backbone

The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet,

Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth

is expected in the near future. In a basic stand-alone configuration, it can

provide direct full-duplex connections for up to 24 workstations or

servers. 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 connect to another hub or switch using one of the

Gigabit Ethernet ports built into the front panel, a Gigabit Ethernet port

on a plug-in SFP transceiver.

In the figure below, the 24-port switch is operating as a collapsed backbone

for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 10 Mbps full-duplex

connections to workstations, 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to power

users, and 1 Gbps full-duplex connections to servers.
