2-2Collapsed Backbone

This switch is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and

Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the

near future. In a basic stand-alone configuration , it can provide direct

full-duplex connections for up to 28 workstations or servers. You can

easily build on this basic configuration, adding direct full-duplex

connections to workstations or servers. When the time comes for further

expansion, just connect to another hub or switch using one of the Gigabit

Ethernet ports built into the front panel, or a Gigabit Ethernet port on a

plug-in SFP transceiver.

In the figure below, the switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a

small LAN. It is providing dedicated 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to

workstations, and 1Gbps full-duplex connections to servers
