Installing the Switch 208/224
Connecting to a Backbone Switch
The simpler segment and desktop networks shown in the previous two
examples can easily be combined and expanded. For example, you could use
an HP Switch 2000 to interconnect each of your smaller switched workgroups
to form a larger switched network. All the devices in this network can
communicate with each other. With an FDDI Module, for example, in the
Switch 2000, the entire switched topology could be connected to a campus
backbone, as shown in the illustration above.
