4.1.1 Broadband Ethernet Access for Residential Communities
On the broadband access network of a residential community, an H3C S3610 switch is
located in the center. It is downlinked to Layer 2 switches (such as S3100 series) to
reach the Ethernet users and uplinked to a core Layer 3 switch through a GE extension
module to connect to the MAN backbone.
