Application Examples

The TigerSwitch 10/100 is not only designed to segment your network,

but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network

connections. Some typical applications are described below.

Collapsed Backbone

The TigerSwitch 10/100 is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet and

Fast Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near

future. You can easily build on this basic configuration, adding direct

full-duplex connections to workstations or servers. When the time comes

for further expansion, just cascade the switch to another Ethernet or Fast

Ethernet switch, or link to another workgroup using a Gigabit connection.

In the figure below, the switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a

small LAN. It is providing dedicated 10 Mbps full-duplex connections to

workstations and 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to power users and

servers.
