2.2.1 Fileserver Link

The LSW switch can be used to greatly increase the bandwidth between one or more fileservers and the workgroups they serve. Individual 10Mbps workgroup switches can be connected to the ports on the LSW switch, ensuring that traffic in one workgroup will not interfere with the performance of another workgroup. Full-duplex 100Mbps links to fileservers guarantee that full bandwidth is delivered to each work- group. High-performance workstations needing extra throughput can connect directly to the switch using a full-duplex 10BASE-T connection, giving 20Mbps of effective throughput.
