High-Density Switched Workgroup Application
Figure 1-8 shows an example of using a BayStack 450 switch with a high-speed
(gigabit) connection to a Nortel Networks Accelar ™ 1100 switch. BayStack 303
and 304 switches are also shown in this example of a high-density switched
workgroup.
As shown in Figure 1-8 , the Accelar 1100 switch is used as a backbone switch,
connecting to the BayStack 450 switch with an optional gigabit (1000BASE-SX)
MDA for maximum bandwidth. The BayStack 303 and 304 switches have 100
Mb/s connections to the BayStack 450 switch, a 100BASE-TX hub, and a 100
Mb/s server and 10 Mb/s connections to DTE (data terminal equipment).
See the Nortel Networks library Web page: support.baynetworks.com/library/ for
online documentation about the Nortel Networks Accelar 1100 switch and the
BayStack 303 and 304 switches.
