Each Hub is Isolated
In this example, each hub in the stack is an independent
segment (isolated). Hubs 2 to 10 are not connected to any of
the 3 segments embedded in the FlexBus 1500 cabling; while
the EtherHub-16mi
+
(EtherHub 1500 Agent), though attached
to Segment 1, is functionally isolated.

Figure 5.4 Stacked Hubs Not Linked to a Segment
F
The EtherHub-16mi
+
is designed to be attached to one of the 3
segments. In this example, the EtherHub-16mi
+
is functionally
isolated though attached to a segment. Traffic in each segment is
restricted to that segment and cannot pass to another segment
without a device such as Accton’s Secure Backbone Hub (EtherHub-
SBH) or Smart Ethernet Switching Hub (SwitcHub-8s) to link them.
