2.2.1 Fileserver Link
The LSW switch can be used to greatly increase the bandwidth between
one or more fileservers and the workgroups they serve. Individual
10Mbps workgroup switches can be connected to the ports on the LSW
switch, ensuring that traffic in one workgroup will not interfere with
the performance of another workgroup. Full-duplex 100Mbps links to
fileservers guarantee that full bandwidth is delivered to each work-
group. High-performance workstations needing extra throughput can
connect directly to the switch using a full-duplex 10BASE-T connection,
giving 20Mbps of effective throughput.
