Chapter 4 Networking Applications
You can deploy S3100-52P Ethernet switch on many types of networks, such as
enterprise networks and broadband access networks. Following are several typical
networking applications.
4.1 Broadband Ethernet Access for Residential Communities
On the broadband access network of a residential community, an S3100-52P Ethernet
switch is located in the center. It is downlinked to S2000 series switches to reach the
Ethernet users and uplinked to a core Layer 3 switch through a GE extension module to
connect to the MAN backbone.

4.2 Application for Connecting Branches or Small- to
Medium-Sized Enterprises
For small-to medium-sized enterprises or branches of a large enterprise, S3100-52P
Ethernet switch can serve as a downstream device connected to the backbone switch,
and can be connected to the headquarters or other branches through Layer 3 switches
