Switch Implement

Switch Imlementation

      In organization multiple switches are installrd to provisde network connectivity to many
users as each switch supports maximum up to 48 users. Two common implementation strategies are :

#(1) Implementation 1 :-

      You can install the switches by connecting the switches one after another using it,s uplink port in cascade manner as shown in figure below :-

Switch implementation 1

       So in this case access speed and backbone speed is same i.e. 100Mbps. Access speed is the speed that any host will get if it is connected to one of the switch's access port. And backbone speed is the interconnection speed between the switches.

#(2) Implementation 2 :-

      Or you can connect all the switches to a central switch that is called backbone switch using their uplink ports as shown in the figure below :-

Switch implementation 2

        Here Switch 1 is called core switch and switch 2, 3 and 4 are called distribution switch. Switch 1 is generally high speed switch e.g. each port operates at 1000Mbps and switch 2, 3 and 4 have access ports of 100Mbps and uplink ports of 1000Mbps.
