Page 14: Figure 1-2. Stacking Base Hubs And Expansion Hubs
BOUT THE The DS model Base Hubs are preconfigured with an Internal Switch Module, and the Network Management Module can be added as an option. Expansion Hubs come without any preconfigured modules and can accept a variety of optional Extender Modules. The Extender Modules provide a switched link connection to the hub stack using either one 10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX port, one 100BASE-FX port, or one 10BASE2 BNC or AUI connector. - Page 15 BOUT THE The hubs contain a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance” monitoring of network and port status. Also, if the Base Hub contains a Network Management Module, the entire stack can be managed in-band via SNMP, RMON (groups 1, 2, 3 and 9), or a Web browser, as well as remotely via Telnet or SLIP.

Page 29: Sample Applications
Sample Applications Integrating Fast Ethernet into an Ethernet Network In the illustration below, a TigerStack II 10/100 Base Hub is used standalone to integrate Fast Ethernet into an Ethernet network. The Internal Switch Module, included in the Base Hubs, interconnects the two segments to form a single LAN with an aggregate bandwidth of 110 Mbps. -
Page 30: Figure 2-2. Stack Of Six Hubs Supporting 144 Ports
ETWORK LANNING Stacking the Hubs Up to six hubs may be stacked, as shown below, to create a logical hub with up to 144 ports. The stack requires only one Base Hub (or Expansion hub with an optional Extender Switch Module installed) and may include two optional Network Management Modules. -
Page 31: Figure 2-3. Extending A Stack To Other Hubs
LANNING Extending the Stack Since the TigerStack II 10/100 is a Class II hub, it may be cascaded to a single Fast Ethernet hub or to a dual-speed hub. It may also be cascaded to multiple Ethernet hubs as long as the SMC 5-4-3 Rule is observed (see “Connectivity Rules”... -
Page 32: Figure 2-4. Using 10/100 Extender Modules
ETWORK LANNING Adding Extender Modules to the stack increases both the reach and bandwidth of the network. In Figure 2-4, the same two stacks are joined by a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Extender Module, instead of being cascaded via front-panel ports, increasing the aggregate bandwidth. -

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX hubs and switches, on the other hand, may have either crossover or straight-through ports. For this reason, ports 12 or 24 on the TigerStack II 10/100 hubs are not labeled with an “x”—these are switch-selectable crossover ports. The associated Crossover switches (see Figure 4-1) are used to enable and disable the wiring crossover on these ports. -
