Figure 1 Switch 9100 used in a backbone configuration

91_001

The Switch 3300 on each floor has a 1000Mbps full-duplex link to the Switch 9100. Two servers on one floor of the building are connected to the Switch 9100 by way of two Gigabit Ethernet links. The two Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports on the Switch 9100 connect into a Gigabit Ethernet campus backbone.

Using Gigabit Ethernet as a backbone technology removes bottlenecks by providing scalable bandwidth, low-latency, and high-speed data switching.
