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 5304xl 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. With a Gigabit-SX Module, for example, in
the Switch 5304xl, the entire switched topology could be connected to a
campus backbone, as shown in figure 2-3.
