2-4 Typical Configurations
Multiple Server Environment
With multiple servers, a variety of approaches may be taken depending on your
network’s traffic patterns. If each of your network users has a particular primary server
that they use, then that server should be connected to one of the fast ports of the
MultiSwitch 612EX. The second fast port should be connected to the backbone; the
MultiSwitch 300 serves as the departmental backbone switch and the servers should
be connected to it either through a 100 Mb/s hub, such as the MultiSwitch Hub 612TX,
or connected directly (Figure 2-2).
