2.4.3 Network with Multiple Subnets
A managed switch is needed to provide an Ethernet backbone for a diversified network
with multiple subnets. The backbone consists of high speed LAN segments supported by
100 Mbps full-duplex future-proof fiber media to provide secure long distance LAN
connections. The entire network is sharing a higher bandwidth Gigabit-enabled data-
mining server for the vital database located in a separate secured building. The copper
ports are required for multiple subnets inside the building. The entire spread network will
be manageable to provide easy, detectable, uninterrupted support through a viewable
SNMP monitor.
The MultiLink ML2400 Ethernet Switch equipped with the mix of copper and fiber ports
provides an economical and seamless solution to the requirements. The user-configurable
ML2400 provides an extra boost to the network requirements by providing copper/fiber
media along with the higher bandwidth support of 10/100 and 1000 Mb. The user can
utilize the SNMP feature equipped with VLAN, RMON, SNTP and other standard managed
LAN features to provide a secure and stable network.
The ML2400 managed switch with mixed-media flexibility allows the users more than one
configuration alternative. The user has an advantage by fulfilling the present requirements
as well as benefiting from the multiple choices of modules to support future expansion as
the network evolves. The Gigabit port option boosts the bandwidth for high speed to
support the peak traffic and minimize congestion.
