Dimension ES-4024 Ethernet Switch
In this example, all computers connected directly or indirectly to the ES-4024 can share super high-speed
applications on the server.
To expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers etc.

1.2.2 Bridging Example
In this example application the switch is the ideal solution for different company departments to connect to the
corporate backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All users
that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via the switch. You can provide a super-
fast uplink connection by using a GBIC module on the ES-4024.
Moreover, the switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize multiple
servers at a single location.
