2-1 C HAPTER 2 N ETWORK P LANNING Introduction to Switching A network switc h allows simultaneous transmission of multiple pac kets via non-crossbar switching .

A PPLICATION E XAMPLES 2-3 Network Aggregation Plan With 24 or 48 parallel bridging por ts (i.e., 24/48 distinct collision domains), these switches can collaps e a complex network do wn into a single efficient bridg ed node, in creasing o verall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below , the 10/100/1000B ASE-T ports are providing 1000 Mbps con[...]

N ETWORK P LANNING 2-4 Remote Connections with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technolog y allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000B ASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away , a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 5 km, and a 10 00B ASE-ZX link up to 100 km. This allows a switch stac k to ser ve as a collapsed backbone , pr[...]

A PPLICATION E XAMPLES 2-5 Making VLAN Connections These switches support 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 stor ms in large networks . This provid es a more secure and cleaner netw ork environment. V[...]

N ETWORK P LANNING 2-6 Using Layer 3 Routing VLANs can significantly enhance ne tw ork perfor mance and security . Howev er , if you use con ventional routers to interconnect VLANs , you can lose most of your performance adva ntage.
