1.1.3 High Performance Switching Example

The MES-2110 is ideal for connecting two networks that need high bandwidth. In

the following example, use trunking to connect these two networks.

Switching to higher-speed LANs such as ATM (Asynchronous Transmission Mode)

is not feasible for most people due to the expense of replacing all existing

Ethernet cables and adapter cards, restructuring your network and complex

maintenance. The MES-2110 can provide the same bandwidth as ATM at much

lower cost while still being able to use existing adapters and switches. Moreover,

the current LAN structure can be retained as all ports can freely communicate with

each other.

1.1.4 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application Examples

A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned

into multiple logical networks. Stations on a logical network belong to one group.

A station can belong to more than one group. With VLAN, a station cannot directly

talk to or hear from stations that are not in the same group(s) unless such traffic

first goes through a router.

For more information on VLANs, refer to Chapter 12 on page 97.

1.1.4.1 Tag-based VLAN Example

Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain thus

increase network performance through reduced broadcast traffic. VLAN groups

can be modified at any time by adding, moving or changing ports without any re-

cabling.
