configuration and remote configuration.
1.2 Typical Application
STCS3526 Series Routing Switch can be used flexibly in different networking environment such as access to enterprise network and
broadband network. The following sections introduce some typical application cases of it.
1.2.1 Networking of Residential Area for Broadband Ethernet Access
In the networking of residential area with broadband Ethernet access, STCS3526 Series Routing Switch is located in the residential
area center. It connects to Ethernet users via the L2 switches such as SPEED S2026 Switch. Its Uplink is connected to the core L3
switch through the GE extended module and thus connected to the MAN backbone.
1.2.2 Networking of Medium/Small Enterprise or Large Enterprise Branch
In the medium/small enterprises or the branches of large enterprises, STCS3526 Series Routing Switch can serve as the backbone
switch, which is connected to the head office or other branches through the router. As the enterprise or organization scale grows,
STCS3526 Routing Switch can provide the larger scale backbone by cascade.
1.2.3 Networking of Large Enterprise and Campus
In large-scale enterprise networks and campus networks, STCS3526 Series Routing Switches are located on the convergence layer
and connected to several L2 Ethernet switches such as SPEED S2026 Switch on the downlink and the backbone GE switch via the GE
extended port on the uplink. In this way, STCS3526 Series Routing Switches provide a complete enterprise networking solution,
which provides 1000M bandwidth to backbone and 100M bandwidth to desktop users.
