1-6 CHAPTER 1: SWITCH 3800 OVERVIEW
Figure 1-2 Switch 3800 used in a backbone configuration
The Switch 1100 on each floor has a 100Mbps full-duplex link to the
Switch 3800. A Switch 3300 is connected to a group of servers on one
floor of the building. The Switch 3800 routes IP traffic between the IP
subnets on each floor, and also provides bridged connectivity for non-IP
traffic. The Gigabit Ethernet port on the Switch 3800 connects into a
Gigabit Ethernet campus backbone.
Using Gigabit Ethernet as a backbone technology removes bottlenecks
by providing scalable bandwidth, low-latency, and high-speed data
switching.
