We have a multimode fiber optic line between two of our buildings. There is a 3com switch on both ends. The ethernet network is 10/100 in both buildings. So we have a D-Link DMC 700SC on both sides to convert packets between ethernet (3com switch) and fiber networks.
We are thinking about upgrading the network to 1 Gbit and I would like your opinion on the 3com switches and fiber to ethernet transceivers. I am looking for a 3com switch that can trunk two 1Gbit ports.
Also, what's the difference between using 3com's SFP/XFP fiber transceivers that goes into the switch itself and D-LINK's stand alone transceiver? I am guessing they both do one thing which is converting frames between fiber and ethernet networks. The D-link DMC 700SC is already 1Gbit compatible.
Thanks
