4. Network Application
This section provides a sample of network topology in which the MicroGST/5
and 8 switches are used. In general, the MicroGST switches are designed
as high-bandwidth backbone switches.
You can use the MicroGST switches to connect servers, switches,
workstations, and PCs to each other by connecting these devices directly to
the Switch. The Switch automatically learns node addresses, which are
subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination
address.
For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly
processed, this switch is an ideal link between departmental switches and
the core switch. All workstations can connect to departmental switches and
those switches are then connected to the MicroGST/5 and 8 switches. Now
all the devices in this network can communicate with each other. Connecting
servers to the core switch is important because it allows each workstation to
access the server’s data.
This switch is designed for backbone connectivity. In the above example,
servers, department switches, and workstation are directly connected to the
MicroGST switches.
