Sample Network Topologies
This section shows a few sample network topologies for implementing the
switches.
As a Desktop Switch
Figure 2-13. Basic desktop configuration
The switches are designed to be used as desktop switches to which end nodes,
printers and other peripherals, and servers are directly connected, as shown
in the above illustration.
The end node devices are connected to the switch by straight-through or
crossover twisted-pair cables. Either cable type can be used because of the
Auto-MDIX feature on the switches.
