Figure 2-20. Basic desktop configuration
The Switch 2610 Series are designed to be used primarily as desktop switches
to which end nodes, printers, other peripherals, and servers are directly
connected, as shown in the above illustration. The end node devices are
connected to the switch by straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables.
Either cable type can be used because of the Auto-MDIX feature on the Switch
2610 Series ports.
