Figure 2-18. As a Segment Switch.
The Switch also works well as a segment switch. That is, with its high
performance, it can be used for interconnecting network segments—simply
connect the network hubs that form those segments to the switch, or you can
also connect other switches.
In the illustration above, two "Fast" Ethernet hubs with PCs, printers, and local
servers attached, are both connected to a Switch. The devices attached to the
two hubs can now communicate with each other through the switch. They can
also all communicate with the server that is connected to a 1000Base-T port
on the switch.
