Network Topology
Figure 1-12 is an example of a network consisting of AT-8316F and
AT-8324 Ethernet switches. Some of the features of the network
include the following:
# Though the Sales and Technical Support workgroups are
distributed between several sites, the 802.1Q VLAN
capabilities of the switches allow you to easily separate their
traffic, improving network performance and enhancing
network security as well.
# The stack of four switches at site 1 are interconnected with an
AT-Stack8 stacking module.
# Port trunking at site 1 provides 200 Mbps of full-duplex
operation to the network servers in the server farm.
# Expansion modules in the switches provide interconnections
between the various sites. For example, site 1 and site 2 each
have AT-A15/LX expansion modules to provide 1000Base-LX
performance up to a maximum distance of 10 kilometers (6.2
miles).
