Application Examples

The ES3628EA switch is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. Some typical applications are described in the following pages.

Collapsed Backbone

The ES3628EA is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future. In a basic stand-alone configuration, it can provide direct full-duplex connections for up to 28 workstations or servers. When the time comes for further network expansion, you can easily build on this basic configuration by adding Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet links directly to one or more workgroup switches.

In the figure below, this switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated full-duplex connections to workstations, power users, and servers.
