Segment Switch in an Enterprise Network
To achieve a gradual transition from shared media to switched networks, you can
use the Model 5625HD 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 Model 5000BH/BHC switch are associated with different segments through
the configuration switching feature.
