Figure 2-3 shows the specific ports used to connect two hubs, as in the expanded
network in Figure 2-2 . Port 1 on the top hub is set to MDI (uplink) with the MDI/
MDI-X button. A UTP/STP Ethernet cable connects port 1 of the top hub to
another non-MDI port on the second hub. This type of connection is known as
“daisy-chaining.”

Bridging
The internal switching hardware of the hub bridges the two collision domains, the
10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s segments. The switching hardware handles the bridging,
which allows 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s segments to talk to each other.
