Segmentation Switch
Example
The example in Figure 21
shows how a 10/100 Switch such as the Switch
4200 stack can segment a network of shared 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps
connections. There is a 10/100 shared segment on each floor, and these
segments are connected to the Switch which is positioned in the
basement.
