Questions:

1. Speed from Switch to Switch / Router to Switch / Wireless AP to Wireless AP?
2. What type of Cable and cable distance for Gigabit Networking?
3. Will I go for Wireless or Wired? (40 workstations)

Thanks

1. kong pilay speed nga imong kuha-on ma-o ra pod nay speed sa imong switch or routers nga imong gamiton

2. Gigabit hmm try lang ask sa mga computer store, if mag gigabit naka imong lancard pod mo support pod og gigabit

3. networking is a wired connection... if mag wireless nako na-a jud possibility nga mo hinay imong speed kay signal ra man imong gi agad.....

ang naka advantage lang sa wireless easy to manage..... butang lang ka acces point... then ang wired/cable mag lad2x paka og linya.. pero kong deli ka ayo lisod ang imong area.. mas ma ayo i wired/cable if ganahan kag kusog nga connection...

1. If akong switch 8ports(8x100mbps = 800mbps) then ang usa is 8ports (8x100mbps =800mbps)sad. pila ka mbps ang speed from one switch to the another.. 100mbps ba ang maximum or more than?

2. cge bai mag inquire lang ko. any other ideas?

3. yes. ngita mi ug easy to install and manage.. mag wired nalang mi ky murag di pa kasaligan ang wireless if daghan ang moconnect..

100mbps ra gihapon na bai oi kay mao raman na imong switch, nya mohinay pa jud na kong mapuno nana, di jud na matuman tanan oi.

1. Speed from Switch to Switch / Router to Switch / Wireless AP to Wireless AP?

if you connect a switch to switch with full-duplex then 200mbps, kung half-duplex then 100mbps. i don't know the kind of switch you have but some have an option to create etherchannels which you logically group switch ports to one logical trunk. that means if you have four trunk connections between two switches with each port having 100mbps, then the total bandwidth that you'd get would be 4 x 200mbps = 800mbps.

router to switch would be 100mbps.

wireless ap to ap, depends on the technology your using. 802.1a or 802.1g = 54mbps, 802.1b = 11mbps


2. What type of Cable and cable distance for Gigabit Networking?

utp = 100m, multimode fiber = 550m


3. Will I go for Wireless or Wired? (40 workstations)

if these workstations are desktop pcs then go wired. if these are mobile then go for wireless.

Bai Ridney, Thanks for your informative reply...

Could you elaborate more on logicaltrunks you mean.. Is it just connecting physically the cables or can be configured on switches? If it's physical connection could you give me a diagram? What type of switches that supports this technology.?

Thanks again..

Switch Questions:

If I have 2 pcs - unmanage 24 ports 10/100Mbps Switches. If I will connect the 4 ports of each of the switches between them can I have a speed of (4 x 100Mbps = 400Mbps)?

[way alamag]

no...you have to do some configuration on both switches.without changes on configuration,only 1 out of 4 link is active.for cisco they call it spanning-tree protocol.

[ridney]

i don't know about unmanaged switches but i second to what way_alamag said. it is critical to have loops on your switched network when deploying redundant links, that's why we have STP to prevent it. so no, you won't have 400mbps out of the 4 ports you'll be using without extra configuration (for managed swithes).

as for etherchannel, you need to make additional configuration on the switch to make it work.

correction to my previous post: "802.11" not 802.1

[nutjugger]

ok now i understand.. what i need is a managed switch.. i will just search it on the net.

thanks for your help..
