Token Ring switches are best suited for, although not 
limited to, expanding Token Ring networks. These 
networks demand high bandwidth, performance, 
monitoring, management, and a logical migration 
path for the continued growth of the network while 
preserving your investment in existing infrastructure. 

Offering a significant advantage over traditional 
inter-networking equipment, Token Ring switches 
bring immediate relief to networks, solving through-
put and management problems. By replacing low per-
formance two-port PC bridges or routers, Token Ring 
switching provides the ability to perform Source 
Route bridging, transparent bridging, or both with 
Source Route Transparent (SRT) bridging. The follow-
ing illustrations depict some possible uses of the 
Switch 2000 TR, including ring segmentation and 
migration to high-speed technologies.
