Network Configuration Examples
This section describes network configuration concepts and includes examples of using the Cisco EtherSwitch service module to create dedicated network segments and interconnect the segments through Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connections.

Network Design Concepts for Using the Cisco EtherSwitch Service Module
As your network users compete for network bandwidth, it takes longer to send and receive data. When you configure your network, consider the bandwidth required by your network users and the relative priority of the network applications they use.
Table 5 describes what can cause network performance to degrade and how you can configure your network to increase the bandwidth available to your network users.
