Installation Guide for the Model FE508 and FE516 Fast Ethernet Hubs
Multiport Switch with Fast Ethernet Backbone
If there is continued congestion on the 10 Mbps shared repeater portion of the network, the Model
SW507 Ethernet Switch with six 10 Mbps ports and one 100 Mbps port can be used to segment each
of the hub's 10 Mbps traffic. By adding the switch, overall bandwidth and throughput are increased
because the traffic from one 10 Mbps segment passes to the other segment only when addressing a
node on one of the other segments. Figure 5-3 illustrates this example.
