Page 33: Getting To Know Your Switch
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the switch. 1.1 Introduction The ES-4124 is a stand-alone layer 3 Ethernet switch with 24 10/100Mbps ports, two RJ-45 Gigabit ports for stacking and 2 GbE dual personality interfaces for uplink as well as a console port and a management port for local management.
Page 34: Bridging Example
ES-4124 User’s Guide 1.1.2 Bridging Example In this example application the switch connects different company departments (RD and Sales) 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.
