Dimension ES-3124 Ethernet Switch
1-4 Getting to Know the ES-3124
Figure 1-1 Backbone Application
1.2.2 Bridging Example
In this example application the switch is the ideal solution for different company departments to connect 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 an uplink port on the ES-3124.
Moreover, the switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize multiple
servers at a single location.
Figure 1-2 Bridging Application
Full-duplex mode operation only applies to point-to-point access (for example, when attaching
the switch to a workstation, server, or another switch). When connecting to hubs, use a standard
cascaded connection set at half-duplex operation.
