Collapsed Backbone Application
You can use Uplink port of the MIL-S501xx to connect with
another hub or switch to interconnect each of your small-switched
workgroups to form a larger switched network. You can also use
fiber ports to connect switches. The distance between two
switches via fiber cable can be up to 2Km with multi-mode fiber or
70Km with single-mode fiber.
The Up-link Port is the same port as port 1, but the pin
assignment has been designed to contain crossover pinout. That
is to say, you can connect this port to hub or switch without
crossover cable.
Figure 3-2. Collapsed Backbone Application
In the above illustration, two MIL-S501xx are used to interconnect
two small workgroups via fiber cable. All the devices in this
network can communicate with each other. Connecting servers to
the Switch allow other users to access the server’s data.
