Sample Applications
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 TigerSwitch to an Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet hub or switch, or link to another workgroup using a
Gigabit connection.
In the figure below, the TigerSwitch 10/100 is operating as a
collapsed backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated
20 Mbps full-duplex connections to workstations and 200 Mbps
full-duplex connections to power users and servers.
