port (Figure 1-4). Users can be accommodated through connections to
hubs, both at 10Mbps and 100Mbps speeds, through 10Mbps switches
with 100Mbps uplinks, or through direct connections. The fiber uplinks are
available to connect the switch to a remote location, such as another
building floor or a separate building.
