The simpler segment and desktop networks shown in the previous two examples can easily be combined and expanded. For example, you could use an HP Switch 2000 to interconnect each of your smaller switched workgroups to form a larger switched network. All the devices in this network can communicate with each other. With an FDDI Module, for example, in the Switch 2000, the entire switched topology could be connected to a campus backbone, as shown in the illustration above.
