    GS-4012F/4024 User’s Guide H A P T E R Getting to Know Your Switch This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the switch. 1.1 Introduction Your switch is a stand-alone layer-3 Gigabit Ethernet switch. By integrating router functions, the switch performs wire-speed layer-3 routing in addition to layer-2 switching.

  • Page 33: Bridging Example

    GS-4012F/4024 User’s Guide Figure 1 Backbone Application 1.1.2 Bridging Example In this example application 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 via the switch.

  • Page 34: High Performance Switching Example

    GS-4012F/4024 User’s Guide 1.1.3 High Performance Switching Example The switch is ideal for connecting two networks that need high bandwidth. In the following example, use trunking to connect these two networks. Switching to higher-speed LANs such as ATM (Asynchronous Transmission Mode) is not feasible for most people due to the expense of replacing all existing Ethernet cables and adapter cards, restructuring your network and complex maintenance.
