Planning a Network with EtherSpeedII Switch Modules
207344-B 2-7
Segment Switch in an Enterprise Network
To achieve a gradual transition from shared media to switched networks, you can
use the EtherSpeedII 10/100BASE-T switch module or the EtherSpeedII
100BASE-FX switch module to aggregate traffic from stations connected to one
or more hubs. Figure 2-5
shows such a network with switches used to connect
shared-media hubs to a backbone switch. Stations connected to the EtherSpeedII
switch module are associated with different segments through the configuration
switching feature.
