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. You
can easily build on this basic configuration, adding direct full-duplex connections to
workstations or servers. When the time comes for further expansion, just connect to
another hub or switch using one of the Fast Ethernet ports built into the front panel
or a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver.
In the figure below, the switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a small LAN.
It is providing dedicated 10 Mbps full-duplex connections to workstations, 100 Mbps
full-duplex connections to power users, and 1 Gbps full-duplex connections to
servers.
