Installing the SMC6624M Switch
Sample Network Topologies
Installing the SMC6624M
Switch
Connecting to a Backbone Switch
The simpler desktop and segment networks shown in the previous two
examples can easily be combined and expanded. For example, you could use
a backbone switch to interconnect each of your smaller switched workgroups
to form a larger switched network. All the devices in this network can
communicate with each other. With a 1000Base-SX module, for example, in
the backbone switch, the entire switched topology could be connected to a
campus backbone, as shown in the illustration above.
Note In the illustration above, the 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connection between the
SMC6624M and the backbone switch is by way of a 1000Base-SX module
installed in the switch.
