1.2.3 Bridging / Fiber Uplink Example Application
In this example, the Switch connects different company departments (
RD
and
Sales
) to the corporate
backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All
users that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via the Switch. You can
provide a super-fast uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet/SFP/SFP+ port on the Switch.

1.2.4 High Performance Switching Example
The Switch is ideal for connecting two networks that need high bandwidth. In the following example, use
link aggregation (trunking) to connect these two networks. The Switch can provide high bandwidth at
much lower cost while still being able to use existing network adapters and switches. Moreover, the
current LAN structure can be retained as all ports can freely communicate with each other.
This helps you switch to higher-speed LANs without the need for replacing all existing Ethernet cables
and adapter cards, restructuring your network and complex maintenance.
