Figure 10. Collapsed Backbone Topology

You can always combine topologies as well as build a larger network by connecting different switches together. If the switches are within 100 meters (328 feet) of each other, you can use the twisted pair ports. If the switches are further apart, then you can use fiber optic ports.
