Planning a Network with EtherSpeedII Switch Modules

This section describes the following Ethernet switching applications:

•Dedicated ports for servers (page 2-4)

•Replacement for a bridge port (page 2-5)

•Desktop switch with ATM uplinks in a wiring closet (page 2-6)

•Segment switch in a wiring closet with ATM uplinks to a network center switch (page 2-7)

•Desktop switch and frame-to-cell converter (page 2-8)

•MultiLink Trunking (page 2-9)
