1.1 Overview
This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments.
1.1.1 Backbone 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 share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the
network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print
servers, etc.
