Switch Module Control

Switch Modules are slide-in units that can be inserted into managed CenturyStack Hubs to gain additional functions such as extending distances and switching between different speeds. The 3-Port Bridge Module has two internal ports (to bridge 10M and 100M segments) and one external port. The function of the external port can vary between different modules. For detailed features of modules, please refer to the CenturyStack Installation and User Guide.
