3. Network Application
This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which the Switch is
used. In general, the TEG-S3000i chassis switch is designed as a segment switch. That
is, with its large address table (8000 MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for
interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate with each other by directly connecting
to the TEG-S3000i chassis switch. The switch automatically learns node addresses,
which are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic to the destination address.
By using a Gigabit, Gigabit Fiber, or an Ethernet Fiber port, the Switch can connect to
another switch or hub and interconnect other small-switched workgroups, forming a
larger switched network. Meanwhile, you can also use Ethernet or Gigabit fiber ports to
connect switches. The following figure is an example of the TEG-S3000i chassis switch
application topology.
