2-6 Typical Configurations
Multiple Server/WAN Environment
If the users typically utilize more than one server extensively, then it may be beneficial
to configure their network so that machines that serve multiple groups are given their
own port on the switch. For instance, suppose that there are several departments, each
with its own file server, and there is a single firewall router connected to the backbone.
Each department should then have its own port on the switch, while the router, which
is used by members of all departments, should have its own port on the switch.
