1.4 Gigabit Switch Network Applications
This section provides a sample of network topologies in which the Gigabit switch functions as a high-
bandwidth backbone switch for a server farm or as a high-bandwidth backbone switch for a super user
workgroup. The switch is an ideal upgrade for 100Mbps Ethernet networks. You can connect existing
switches, hubs or computers with Gigabit 1000Base-T Ethernet adapters to the switch.
1.4.1 Gigabit Switch for Server Farm
The following figure depicts the GS-1124A (Z) connected to a computer network (via switches A, B
and C) and a server farm (via Gigabit switch G). For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts
are constantly processed, this switch is suitable for connecting departmental switches to the core
Gigabit switch through a number of servers. Connecting servers to the core Gigabit switch allows
each end station to rapidly access the server’s data and to smoothly communicate with all the devices
in the network.
