Client/Server Network Application

To improve workstation performance in a client/server environment, the
ELS100-24TXG switch can be configured to provide 200 Mbps full duplex
Fast Ethernet connections to servers by connecting each to a dedicated
switch port (Figure 1-6). Users can be accommodated through
connections to hubs, both at 10Mbps and 100Mbps speeds, through
10Mbps switches with 100Mbps uplinks, or through direct connections.
The Gigabit Ethernet uplinks (1000Mbps) can be used to aggregate traffic
on the switch to the campus or corporate backbone, whether on another
building floor or in a separate building.
