1.2.3 Bridging or Fiber Optic Uplink Example Application
In this example, 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 through the Switch.
You can provide a super-fast uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet or SFP port on the Switch.
Moreover, the Switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize
multiple servers at a single location.

1.2.4 Gigabit Ethernet to the Desktop
The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks which demand high bandwidth for a group of heavy
traffic users. You can connect computers and servers directly to the Switch's port or connect other
switches to the Switch. Use the 1 Gigabit uplink ports to provide high speed access to a data server and
the Internet. The uplink ports support a fiber-optic connection which alleviates the distance limitations of
copper cabling.
In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server and access the Internet.
To expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print
servers and so on.
