Chapter 5 Network Application
This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which the switch can be
used. In general, the CWGE24MODMS Managed Switch is designed as a segment switch.
That is, with its large address table (16K MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for
interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate with each other by directly connecting with
CWGE24MODMS Managed Switch. The switch automatically learns node addresses, which
are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address.
By using Gigabit or Gigabit Fiber, the switch can connect with another switch or hub to
interconnect other small-switched workgroups to form 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 CWGE24MODMS Managed Switch application
topology.
