6. Typical Deployment Scenarios

1. Large Enterprise Standalone Full-Gigabit Layer 2 Access Switch: 48 high-speed Gigabit copper ports connect multi-floor office desktop PCs and externally powered IP phones; modular SFP/SFP+ uplinks build redundant fiber trunk links to core multilayer switches. LAN Base limited static SVI routing handles simple two/three VLAN segmentation without dedicated router hardware.
2. K-12 Multi-Building Campus Converged Network: Non-PoE full-Gigabit design for student workstations and classroom IP phones; quad SFP Gigabit uplinks connect to campus backbone for high-bandwidth multimedia teaching traffic. MSTP prevents broadcast loop failures across departmental VLANs, flat Layer 2 architecture fits large campus pod scale.
3. Large Regional Branch Wiring Closet Main Switch: Cost-effective high-density full-Gigabit non-PoE hardware for branch office endpoints; modular uplink slot supports long-distance single-mode fiber trunking to headquarters. Static SVI routing meets basic flat multi-VLAN branch requirements without expensive IP Services license upgrade.
4. Legacy Distributed Flat Layer 2 Network Refresh Hardware: Drop-in replacement for aging Fast Ethernet Catalyst 3560 non-Gigabit switches, fully compatible with existing ISL trunk fiber uplink infrastructure, upgrades to full wire-speed Gigabit and limited static inter-VLAN routing for gradual migration to modern Catalyst 9300 unified access platforms.
