  • Page 25: Chapter 2: Network Planning

    Chapter 2: Network Planning Introduction to Switching A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. The switch has, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology.
  • Page 26: Application Examples

    Network Planning Application Examples The ES3526XA is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. Some typical applications are described below. Collapsed Backbone The ES3526XA is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.
  • Page 27: Network Aggregation Plan

    Application Examples Network Aggregation Plan With 26 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 26 distinct collision domains), the ES3526XA can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports on the switch are providing 100 Mbps connectivity for up to 24 segments.

  • Page 30: Application Notes

    Network Planning Application Notes Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem.
