C H A P T E R 1 Intel Express 100BASE-TX Switching Hub

Typical Configurations

Configuring the 100 Mbps workgroup environment

In the 100 Mbps environment, workgroup clients should be connected to a 100 Mbps hub such as the Intel Express 100BASE-TX Stackable Hub. All hub stacks should be connected to the Express Switching Hub. By connecting the hubs to a switching environment, you can extend Fast Ethernet distance limitations.
