Example 2: Backup Link Using Alternative
Medium
In this topology, the primary link consists of a twisted-pair cable
between twisted-pair ports on two HP AdvanceStack hubs; the backup
link is from AUI port to AUI port on the two hubs. Depending on the
type of transceivers used, the backup link could use thin coax,
fiber-optic cable, or even twisted-pair cable. Note that any of the
network ports on these hubs can function as a backup to any other port.
