  • Page 51: Collapsed Backbone Application

    The Switch provides versatile configuration options for the network. It is ideally suited as a workgroup or segment Switch in a network; it has the flexibility to provide Switched 10Mbps to the desktop or shared hubs, aggregate traffic from workgroup Switches, or provide dedicated 100Mbps or 1000Mbps ( Gigabit ) to servers with bandwidth-intensive applications.
  • Page 52 For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed, this Switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate backbone. The LevelOne GSW-2490TXM SNMP Switch used as segment Switch can alleviate user contention for bandwidth and eliminate server and network bottlenecks.
  • Page 53 Figure 5-2: Departmental Bridge Application Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access NOTE: (for example, when attaching the Switch to a workstation, server, or another Switch). When connecting to hubs, use a standard cascaded connection set for half-duplex operation. High Performance Switched Workgroup This Switch is also a good solution for connecting two workgroups, supporting the throughput, for example, of 800Mbps.
  • Page 54 implement more expensive administration procedures. The Switch can provide the same bandwidth of FDDI and ATM at much lower costs. In addition, all current adapters and network devices can still be used. The Switching cross-domain connection is better than bridge and router because users can retain LAN structure in which any node can freely communicate with any other node.
