Extending the Network with Alternate Connections

You can extend your network by connecting any of the hubs in a stacked system to other compatible hubs via the SmartExtender Module. In the diagram below, a stand-alone hub is connected to hub 3 in the stacked system using the extender module. However, remember that the Fast EtherHub 3500 Agent can only manage hubs connected to it through the FlexBus connection.
