Network Topologies
This section illustrates two network topologies that you can create with the
AT-GS950/48 Gigabit Ethernet Smart switch: a power workgroup and
collapsed backbone. Both types of topologies are described below.

Topology
The topology shown in Figure 4 is commonly referred to as a power
workgroup topology. Each workstation or end node is connected directly to
a port on the AT-GS950/48 Gigabit Ethernet Smart switch. Each end node
has a dedicated data link to the switch for best performance and reliability.
The devices can operate at 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps.
