CoreBuilder 2500 in a
Subnetworked
Environment
With the CoreBuilder 2500 system, you fit Ethernet switching capability
into subnetworked environments. When you put the CoreBuilder 2500
system into such a network, the system streamlines your network
architecture by routing traffic between subnetworks and switching within
subnetworks. See Figure 3-2.
