Switch Design Question [7:39888]

Hi All, I am looking at this configuration: [PC]---[Switch1]---Fiber---[Switch2]---[Switch3]---[WirelessBridge]---distance2miles---[WirelessBridge]---[4Switch10Mb]---[Router]---[ISPInternet] The switches are all consist of 10Mb ports. The question. Whould it not be a better design to take out

If the reason for the second switch is you ran out of ports, replacing it with a larger switch is fine if money in no object or you have another use for these two switches. Otherwise I wouldn't worry, the latency, though measurable is nothing to worry about compared to your Internet connection.

Do you know if there was a reason for Switch 3 being in the design? That's what I would try to find out Maybe it was necessary because Switch 2 is located in a wiring closet, whereas Switch 3 and the Wireless Bridge are in the main distribution frame. Or maybe Switch 2 only has fiber-optic

In the topology given, the real bottleneck is the wireless bridge ( assuming 11 meg shared ), and of course the ISP link speed. the switch to switch latency is not the killer here. other factors are numbers of users, especially the numbers crossing the wireless link. These suckers still tend to

Although most of the latency comes from your wireless link and the ISP connection, it still doesn't mean you shouldn't optimize the setup a bit. You mentioned in a later email that the reason for switch2 and 3 is that they needed more ports. That's fine, and there's nothing wrong with that type
