The fully-meshed 4000 Megabit/sec Ethernet core network consolidates edge switches via 100Mb and 1000Mb connections. A campus-wide VTP domain is maintained, managed by multiple central VMPS servers. Virtual LANs are deployed on a per-building basis to provide proper segmentation and encompass multiple levels of access granularity (Table 1). Specific services are subsequently provided by the UF DHNet and UF HRE web sites, depending on the source of access."
