Page 27: Network Planning
For Ethernet, there may be up to four hubs between any pair of stations; for Fast Ethernet, the maximum is two. This is known as the hop count. However, a switch turns the hop count back to zero. So subdividing the network into smaller and more manageable segments, and linking them to the larger network by means of a switch, removes this limitation. -
Page 28: Application Examples
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hub or switch. In the figure below, this switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 10 Mbps full-duplex connections to workstations and 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to power users and servers. -
Page 29: Network Aggregation Plan
Network Aggregation Plan With 26 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 26 distinct collision domains), this switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports on the switch are providing 100 Mbps connectivity for up to 24 segments. -
Page 30: Remote Connection With Fiber Cable
A 100 Mbps multimode fiber (MMF) link can run up to 2 km, and a 100 Mbps single-mode fiber (SMF) link can run as far as 20 km. This allows the switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN. -
Page 31: Making Vlan Connections
VLANs, ports can either be assigned to one specific group or to all groups. Port-based VLANs are suitable for small networks. A single switch can be easily configured to support several VLAN groups for various organizational entities (such as Finance and Marketing). -
Page 32: Application Notes
1. Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. 2. Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem. -

Page 43: Making Network Connections
Network card ports in PCs and servers do not contain an internal wiring crossover, these are known as straight-through (MDI) ports. Therefore, most switch and hub ports implement a built-in crossover - known as fixed crossover (MDI-X) ports - so that they can be connected to PCs and servers using standard straight-through cable. -
Page 44: Connecting To Pcs, Servers, Hubs And Switches
AKING ETWORK have an MDI port, so that they can connect to another switch’s/hub’s MDI-X port using straight-through cable. To connect between two switches/hubs that only have fixed MDI-X ports, the wiring crossover must be implemented in the cable - known as a crossover cable. -
