Introducing the Switch
These switches are designed to be used primarily as a high-density wiring
closet or desktop switch. These switches can directly connect computers,
printers, and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and can
build a switched network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs,
other switches, or routers. In addition, the Switch 2800 Series devices offer
full network management capabilities.
