Physical Topology: A Ring of Trees

The FDDI ring consists of dual-attach stations (DASs) and dual-attach

connectors (DACs). The DACs on the ring allow you to attach trees. The

trees consist of branches of single-attach stations (SASs) and DASs that

are star-wired off of the concentrators. This kind of network is highly

reliable, provides a single, fault-tolerant ring, offers fault isolation, and

allows centralized management. See Figure 15.
