Section 1: Introduction- Sample Network Topologies

Some networks have multiple system con- troller computers. This configuration is es- sentially the same as the second example with the addition of the second computer attached to the hub or switch.

To create the more complex distributed star topologies needed for larger systems, use additional hubs or switches. Some have spe- cial uplink ports for connecting to other hubs or switches via a standard Ethernet cable. If the hubs or switches do not have uplink ports, then the hub-to-hub or switch-to- switch connection should use a crossover- type Ethernet cable.
