2-1 Chapter 2: Network Planning Introduction to Switching A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. The switch has, therefore, been recognized as one of the mo...

Network Planning 2-2 2 Application Examples The ES3628EA switch is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. Some typical applications are described in the following pages. Collapsed Backbone The ES3628EA is an excellent...

Application Examples 2-3 2 Network Aggregation Plan With 28 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 28 distinct collision domains), the ES3628EA can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 100BASE-TX ports on ...

Network Planning 2-4 2 Remote Connections with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away, a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 5 km, and a 1000BASE-LH link up to 70 km. This allows the switch...

Application Examples 2-5 2 Making VLAN Connections This switch supports VLANs which can be used to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks. This provides a more...

Network Planning 2-6 2 Using Layer 3 Routing VLANs can significantly enhance network performance and security. However, if you use conventional routers to interconnect VLANs, you can lose most of your performance advantage. The ES3628EA provides wire-speed routing, which allows you to eliminate your...

Application Notes 2-7 2 Application Notes 1. Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. 2. Avoid using flow control o...
