I have the duplex issues settled for some time Just look for some time. just not sure about the uplinkfast vs portfast enabled.

I have 3 cisco 3548 switches that are all on the same LAN. Right now each switch is configured as vlan1 with all ports a member. Question is how to improve performance? &nbsp;Should these switches be put in a cluster configuration? What else can be done to improve network performance between the switches. &nbsp;All ports are set for spanning-Tree = portfast, printers 10 mb half, workstations 100 full. I am seeing no collisions on the switches.<br />

Clustering switches or not?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
