Switch User Manual

3.Network Application

This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which the

Switch is used. In general, FSW-1621/2421 is designed as a segment

switch. That is, with its large address table and high performance, it is

ideal for interconnecting networking segments.

You can use the FSW-1621/2421 to connect PCs, workstations, and

servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the Switch.

The switch automatically learns nodes address, which are subsequently

used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address. By

using Uplink port, the Switch can connect with another switch or hub to

interconnect each of your small-switched workgroups to form a larger

switched network.

Small Workgroup

The 16/24-port 10/100Base-TX Switch can be used as a standalone

switch to which personal computers, server, printer server, are directly

connect to form small workgroup.
