Figure 2-4. Fileserver Link
Connecting servers through 100Base-TX ports
increases performance to the clients, even if the clients
are on 10Base-T segments.
Because multiple 10Base-T devices can access the file
server at the same time through a 100Base-TX
connection, performance increases to beyond the
performance of standard 10Base-T or 100Base-TX hubs.
Operating the 4-Slot Modular Switch at full duplex further
increases performance
1000Base Solution
You can upgrade your server with a Gigabit Ethernet NIC,
and introduce a Gigabit backbone switch too. This
contains several switch ports which provides much faster
access to your server with minimum disruption. See
Figure 2-4.
Multi-port Bridge with High-Bandwidth Backbone
With a 4-Slot Modular Switch, you can divide large
network to ease congestion, and connect 10Base-T
networks to 100Base-TX or 100Base to 1000Base
networks for more flexibility. Adding your 4-Slot Modular
Switch to a large network creates more segments in that
network. The 4-Slot Modular Switch built-in filtering
function separates a segment's local traffic from network
traffic, reducing the amount of network traffic and easing
congestion.
