Figure 23 shows how you can set your network up to enhance its
performance.
All ports are auto-negotiating and will therefore pass data across the
network at the optimum available speed and duplex mode. Flow control
will help avoid packet loss during periods of network congestion. A
Gigabit Ethernet backbone is set up between the Switch 3824 and each
Switch in the workgroups to increase the bandwidth, and therefore the
overall network performance.
