Sample Network Topologies
This section shows you a few sample network topologies in which the
SMC6624M switch is implemented.
As a Desktop Switch
The SMC6624M switch is designed to be used primarily as a desktop switch
to which end nodes, printers and other peripherals, and servers are directly
connected, as shown in the above illustration. Notice that the end node
devices are connected to the switch by “straight-through” or “crossover”
twisted-pair cables. Either cable type can be used because of the “Auto MDI/
MDI-X” feature on the switch.
