The S5600 series support flexible
networking. They can be used as broadband access devices, as well as networking
devices in enterprise networks. The following describes several typical
networking methods for the S5600 series.
The S5600 series can be used as backbone
switches in the branches of small/middle-scaled enterprises, where they can be
connected (by routers) to the networks of other branches or the headquarters. When
the branches or enterprises grow in scale, the S5600 series also provide
seamless growth through IRF.
Figure
3-1 Application in small/middle-scaled enterprise
branches
The S5600 series can also be used as
aggregation devices in large-scaled enterprise networks and campus networks,
where each of them can be connect with multiple Layer 2/3 downstream Ethernet
switches (for example, S3600 series switches), and connected to Layer 3 core upstream
switches through the GE expansion module slot, to provide a full solution for
building enterprise networks in various size (from Gigabit backbone network,
100 Mbps network to desktop network).
