Chapter 4 Networking Applications

4.1 H3C S3610 Series Ethernet Switches Networking Applications

4.1.1 Broadband Ethernet Access for Residential Communities

On the broadband access network of a residential community, an H3C S3610 switch is located in the center. It is downlinked to the S2000 or S3026 series to reach the Ethernet users and uplinked to a core L3 switch through a GE extension module to connect to the MAN backbone.

Figure 4-1 Community Ethernet access networking with H3C S3610 series

4.1.2 Application in Networks of Branches or Small- to Medium-Sized Enterprises

For small-to medium-sized enterprises or branches of a large enterprise, the H3C S3610 series can serve as the backbone switches on their networks and can be connected to the headquarters or other branches through routers.

Figure 4-2 H3C S3610 series application in branch network of midsize/large enterprise

4.1.3 Application in Large Enterprise and Campus Networks

In a large enterprise or campus network, the H3C S3610 series are located at the convergence layer. They are downlinked to layer 2 switches, S3000 Series for example; and uplinked to a layer 3 switch through GE interfaces. These switches together provide a network-wide intranet solution that covers gigabit-to-backbone and 100 Mbps-to-desktop.

Figure 4-3 H3C S3610 series application in large enterprise and campus network

4.1.4 IPv4/IPv6 Hybrid Networking

Full IPv4 networking and full IPv6 networking are similar. At the early stage of IPv6 implementation, however, IPv4/IPv6 hybrid networks are common. This gives full play to the IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack and IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling features provided by the H3C S3610 series and enables flexible networking.

Figure 4-4 Application in a large enterprise and campus IPv4/IPv6 hybrid network

4.2 H3C S5510 Series Ethernet Switches Networking Applications

4.2.1 Broadband Ethernet Access for Residential Communities

An H3C S5510 series Ethernet switch can operate on the distribution layer of a broadband MAN. You can connect it to a backbone router or Layer 3 switch in the uplink direction through its GigabitEthernet optical ports, and connect it to Layer 2/Layer 3 devices operating as the portal devices of community networks through its GigabitEthernet optical ports. Additionally, you can use multiple GigabitEthernet ports to form GigabitEthernet trunk ports so as to broaden the uplink and downlink bandwidth.

Figure 4-5 Network diagram for using H3C S5510 series Ethernet switches in broadband MAN

4.2.2 Application in Networks of Branches or Small/Medium-Sized and Large Enterprises

In the branches of a small-/medium-sized or large enterprises, you can use H3C S5510 series Ethernet switches as the backbone layer devices. In this case, network devices can connect to an S5510 Ethernet switch in the following ways.

l Connecting the Layer 2/Layer 3 Ethernet switches (such as S3026/3526 Ethernet switches) of workgroups to GigabitEthernet optical ports or electrical interfaces

l Connecting to the other floors/buildings through long-/short-haul GigabitEthernet optical ports

l Connecting to the server directly through GigabitEthernet/100 Mbps electrical ports or connecting to the server group through the Layer 2/Layer 3 Ethernet switches in the workgroup through GigabitEthernet/100 Mbps electrical ports

l Connecting to routers through 10/100 Mbps electrical ports

4.2.3 Application in Large Enterprise and Campus Networks

H3C S5510 series Ethernet switches can operate as the distribution layer devices in the networks of large enterprises and campus networks. In this case, you can connect an S5510 Ethernet switch to a backbone router or Layer 3 switches through its GigabitEthernet optical ports or electrical ports, and connect Layer 2 or Layer 3 devices in workgroups to the GigabitEthernet optical ports or electrical ports of the S5510 Ethernet switch.
