Local Backbone Application
The VH-4802 switch can be used in a local backbone application, connecting network segments together and providing file-server access (Figure 1-5). Workgroup hubs are provided with a single connection to the switch while servers are put on dedicated 100 Mbps ports. Routers and other networking devices can connect off of the switched backbone as well. The fiber uplinks are available to connect the switch to a remote location, such as another building floor or a separate building.
