18 C HAPTER 1: I NTRODUCING THE S WITCH 3300 XM, SM, TM, MM Network Configuration Examples The following illustrations s how some examples of h ow the Switch can be used in your network.
Network Configuration Examples 19 Switch as a Collapsed Backbone Switch The example in Figure 8 shows how a Switch 3300 TM stack can act as a backbone for both shared and switched network segments.
20 C HAPTER 1: I NTRODUCING THE S WITCH 3300 XM, SM, TM, MM Switch as a Desktop Switch The example in Figure 9 shows how the Switch can be used for a group of users that r equire dedicated 10Mbps or 100Mbps conn ections to the desktop.
Configuration Rules for Fast Ethernet 21 Configuration Rules f o rF a s tE t h e r n e t The topology rules for 100Mbps Fast Ether net are slightly differ ent to those for 10Mbps Et hern et. Figure 10 illustrates the key topology rules and provides examples of how they allow for large-scale F ast Ether net networks.
22 C HAPTER 1: I NTRODUCING THE S WITCH 3300 XM, SM, TM, MM The key topology rules are: ■ Maximum UTP ca ble length is 100 m (328ft) ove r Category 5 cable . ■ A 412m (1352ft) fiber run is allowed for connecting switch-to-switch, or endstation-to-switch, using half -duplex 100BASE-FX.
Configuration Rules for Gigabit Ethernet (SM and TM) 23 Configuration Rules for Gigabit Ether net (SM and TM) Gigabit Ether net is designed to run over four media: ■ Single-mode fiber optic cable, with connections up to 5km. ■ Multimode fiber optic cable, with connections u p to 550m.
