Configuring the Wide Area Network (WAN) environment

Connections to the backbone are most effective using fiber optic cabling. This eliminates the 100 meter UTP restriction. Also, connect multiple switches directly to the backbone (not each other) and connect busy servers directly to the switch.

CAT5 UTP (100 meters max.) Multimode fiber (412 meters max. at half duplex, 2 Km max. at full duplex)

NOTES

100BASE-FX Fiber optic media adapter optional (product code ESMODFX).

You can also use CAT5 UTP to connect to a backbone router or bridge.

Configure high-speed servers for full duplex to achieve 200 Mbps throughput.

If a server isn’t accessed by more than one segment, move it to a hub on the segment.
