The simpler desktop and segment networks shown in the previous two
examples can easily be combined and expanded. For example, you could use
an ProCurve Switch 5308xl to interconnect each of your smaller switched
workgroups to form a larger switched network. All the devices in this network
can communicate with each other. For example, with Gigabit-SX Mini-GBICs
installed in a Mini-GBIC Module, in the Switch 5308xl, the entire switched
topology could be connected to a campus backbone, as shown in the
illustration above.

In the illustration above, the 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connection between the
Switch 2650s and the Switch 5308xl is by way of a Gigabit-SX mini-GBIC
installed in the Switch 2650s connected to a mini-GBIC Module in the 5308xl.
