Figure 1 Using Ethernet technology to build an enterprise network

Ethernet technology can connect various terminals to a network to allow employees to surf on the Internet, make IP calls, access shared resources on servers, and print files using remote printers over the network. The IT administrators of the enterprise can manage the network in a centralized manner.
