The following illustrations show some examples of how the Switch can be
used in your network.
The example in Figure 7 shows how a Switch 3300 SM/XM stack can
segment a network of shared 10Mbps and 100Mbps and 1000Mbps
connections. There is a 10/100 shared segment on each floor, and these
segments are connected to the Switch which is positioned in the
basement. The Switch 3300 SM also provides a Gigabit Ethernet
connection to a local server.
