Client/Server Network Application
To improve workstation performance in a client/server environment, the ELS100-8TXUF2 switch can be configured to provide 200 Mbps full duplex Fast Ethernet connections to servers by connecting each to a dedicated switch port (Figure 1-4). Users can be accommodated through connections to hubs, both at 10Mbps and 100Mbps speeds, through 10Mbps switches with 100Mbps uplinks, or through direct connections. The fiber uplink is available to connect the switch to a remote location, such as another building floor or a separate building.
The ELS100-8TXUF2 switch can be used in a local backbone application, connecting network segments together and providing file-server access. Workgroup hubs are provided with a single connection to the switch while servers are put on dedicated 100 Mbps ports. Routers and other networking devices can connect off of the switched backbone as well. The fiber uplink is available to connect the switch to a remote location, such as another building floor or a separate building.
