Configuring Additional Users To A Separate Segment - Cabletron Systems EMME User Manual

CHAPTER 2: NETWORK PLANNING AND CONFIGURATION
2.4.3 Configuring Additional Users to a Separate
Segment
Before the EMME was available, adding users to a separately repeated
segment required investing in a great deal of additional equipment. The
example in Figure 2-5 has one Ethernet segment using; the pre-EMME
technology for 48 users requires an MMAC, an IRM2 and two 24-port
MIMs. Each time you want to add an additional 48 users to a separately
repeated segment, you must add an MMAC-FNB, IRM2, two 24-port
MIMs, and an external bridge.
When you use the new technology of the EMME, adding new users on a
separately repeated segment can be accomplished simply by adding
MIMs to the MMAC-FNB.
