This section illustrates two network topologies that you can create with the
AT-9000/24 Gigabit Ethernet Switch: a power workgroup and collapsed
backbone. Both types of topologies are described below.
The topology shown in Figure 4 is commonly referred to as a power
workgroup topology. Each workstation or end node is connected directly to
a port on the AT-9000/24 Gigabit Ethernet Switch. Each end node has a
dedicated data link to the switch for best performance and reliability. The
devices can operate at 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps.
