Switch 9100 used in a backbone configuration
The Switch 3300 on each floor has a 1000Mbps full-duplex link to the
Switch 9100. Two servers on one floor of the building are connected to
the Switch 9100 by way of two Gigabit Ethernet links. The two Gigabit
Ethernet fiber ports on the Switch 9100 connect 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.
