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.

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