network management statistics. Total network capacity and throughput increase dramatically for attached desktop workstations.
Switch of Floors and Buildings
For network managers, multistorey buildings and campuses can represent a unique networking challenge. How can a network manager provide an efficient LAN interconnect for users that are located on several floors of a building or in different buildings?
Token Ring switching and the SmartStack product family can provide the best solution. The SmartStack
Many networks consist of users located in different buildings of a campus environment. The switches can be used as a collapsed backbone interconnecting multiple buildings of a campus. They can provide the connectivity solution and enhanced throughput that such campus environments require.
Switch of Routers
Router technology has had a significant impact on the design of today’s internetworks. Routers have become the cornerstone of most production networks. Although well equipped to provide firewall, WAN connectivity, security, and connection between dissimilar LANs, routers are unable to provide high throughput between desktop devices and servers. Because of these limitations, routers and switches perform complimentary functions in the network.
