Section 1:
Introduction- Sample Network Topologies
Some networks have multiple system con-
troller computers. This configuration is es-
sentially the same as the second example
with the addition of the second computer
attached to the hub.
To create the more complex distributed star
topologies needed for larger systems, use
additional hubs. Some hubs have special
uplink ports for connecting to other hubs via
a standard Ethernet cable. If the hubs do not
have uplink ports, then the hub-to-hub con-
nection should use a crossover-type Ethernet
cable.
