Local Backbone Application
The ELS100-24TXG switch can be used in a local backbone application,
connecting network segments together and providing file-server access
(Figure 1-6). Workgroup hubs are provided with a single connection to the
switch while servers are put on dedicated 100Mbps ports. Routers and
other networking devices can connect off of the switched backbone as
well. The Gigabit Ethernet uplinks (1000Mbps) can be used to connect to
the corporate backbone and provide access to high performance servers.
