1.1.2 Bridging Example
The Switch can connect different company departments (RD and Sales) 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 a Gigabit Ethernet/mini-
GBIC port on the Switch. Moreover, the Switch eases supervision and maintenance by
allowing network managers to centralize multiple servers at a single location.
