Connecting Hubs Using 10BASE-T
You can connect hubs together with 10BASE-T in a
number of ways, but for simplicity we recommend
the following method:
1 Starting from the bottom, connect port 8 of the
lower hub to port 7 of the hub immediately above.
Repeat for each hub, as shown in Figure 2-5 .
Set all MDI/MDIX switches to MDI (in) except for the
2
top hub (the one with port 8 not connected to
another hub). This unused port can be connected to
a workstation provided that the MDI/MDIX switch is
set to MDIX (out).
