Interconnecting the Segments
The 3 segments within a stacked system can be combined into an interconnected network using the SmartExtender Modules. For example, you can connect all the segments in the stack using just two extender modules as shown below. Using this approach, you provide a higher bandwidth by using three separate collision domains, but still permit stations to communicate with nodes in other segments, as required.
