Switched Ethernet LAN
To enable the segments to communicate with one another, they
are interconnected through a switch. Switches, like hubs, can
be cascaded to interconnect additional segments.
In the figure shown below, six TigerStack segments are inter-
connected via an 8-port Ethernet switch. The remaining two
10BASE-T ports on the switch are configured for full-duplex
operation. This provides them both with 20 Mbps of band-
width. One of these ports is connected directly to a server and
the other, to another Ethernet switch to provide additional ports
for the stack segments.
