Operation Manual – Product Overview
Quidway S3100 Series Ethernet Switches
The S3100 series can be flexibly deployed in networks. They can be used in enterprise
networks, or serve as broadband access points. The following examples are two typical
networks using the S3100 series.

2.1 MAN Access Solution

In a metropolitan area network (MAN), the S3100 series can serve as access devices.
In the downlink direction, they directly connect to users through 100 Mbps interfaces;
and in the uplink direction, they connect to an aggregation layer (Layer 3) switches or
Quidway MA5200 intelligent service gateways, which further connect to the core of the
MAN through routers. This provides you a comprehensive gigabit-to-backbone
100-Mbps-to-desktop MAN solution.

2.2 Education Network Solution

In a campus network, the S3100 series can serve as desktop switching devices at the
access layer. They directly connect to users in education buildings through 100 Mbps
downlink interfaces; and connect to the core switch in the campus through a 1000 Mbps
uplink interface; the core switch further connects to the education network through a
router. This enables the users in the campus to exchange information and share
resources in the scope of the education network.
