How You Can Usethe PS Hub 1-5

Expanding an
Existing Network
You can add PS Hubs to your existing network to expand the number
of user connections. Each PS Hub has its own bui lt-in management
which is distributed throughout the PS Hubs in the st ack. This provides
fault tolerance because there is no single point of fa ilure; all hubs have
management capability (should they becom e isolated).
Figure1-4 shows how PS Hubs ca n be added to an existing network
(the network is a stack of SuperStack® II Hub 10 units in this example).
The hubs create more ports now, and allow for further growt h in the
future. The PS Hubs are connected to a switch so that communication
between them is controlled.
