Application in Small Enterprise Networks

In the network of small enterprise, the S3100-EI series switch can serve as the access switches, which connect to the layer-3 switch through the GE port or expansion module. When the size of the enterprise increases, the network can also be easily expanded by using the stack technology supported by the S3100-EI series switches.

Application in Education Networks

In a campus network, the S3100-EI series can serve as desktop switching devices at the access layer. They directly connect to users in education buildings through 100 Mbps downlink interfaces; and connect to the core switch in the campus through a 1000 Mbps uplink interface; the core switch further connects to the education network through a router. This enables the users in the campus to exchange information and share resources in the scope of the education network.
