Installing the Switch
Sample Network Topologies
The simpler desktop and segment networks shown in the previous two
examples can easily be combined and expanded. For example, you could use
an HP E5406 zl 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 Gigabit-SX Module, for example, in
the E5406 zl Switch, the entire switched topology could be connected to a
campus backbone, as shown in Figure 2-21.
N o t e
In the Backbone Switch illustration, the 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connection
between the E3800 Switch and the E5406 zl Switch is by way of a Gigabit-SX
transceiver installed in the E3800 Switch and connected to a Gigabit-SX
Module in the E5406 zl Switch.
