Network managers are currently faced with the challenge of creating networks that can 
provide ultra-fast speed and high performance to serve the needs of today’s network 
users, while simultaneously preserving the investment they have made in Ethernet and 
Fast Ethernet technology.
By addressing the entire spectrum of Ethernet data rates (10/100/1000 Mbps), the 
Summit family of LAN switches enables you to introduce high-speed Gigabit Ethernet 
backbones into your existing network, while maintaining established connections to the 
10 Mbps and 100 Mbps segments that already exist.
