Introducing the Switch
Introducing the Switch
These switches are designed to be used primarily in data center environments
mounted in equipment racks along with the servers they are connected to.
These switches can directly connect servers to other servers or backbone
LANs to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and can build a
switched network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other
switches, or routers. In addition, the Series 6600 Switches offer full network
management capabilities.
