4.2.2 Application in Networks of Branches or Small/Medium-Sized and
Large Enterprises
In the branches of a small-/medium-sized or large enterprises, you can use H3C S5510
series Ethernet switches as the backbone layer devices. In this case, network devices
can connect to an S5510 Ethernet switch in the following ways.
z
Connecting the Layer 2/Layer 3 Ethernet switches (such as S3026/3526 Ethernet
switches) of workgroups to GigabitEthernet optical ports or electrical interfaces
z
Connecting to the other floors/buildings through long-/short-haul GigabitEthernet
optical ports
z
Connecting to the server directly through GigabitEthernet/100 Mbps electrical
ports or connecting to the server group through the Layer 2/Layer 3 Ethernet
switches in the workgroup through GigabitEthernet/100 Mbps electrical ports
z
Connecting to routers through 10/100 Mbps electrical ports
