VH-4802

Local Backbone Application

The VH-4802 switch can be used in a local backbone application,

connecting network segments together and providing file-server access

(Figure 1-5). Workgroup hubs are provided with a single connection to the

switch while servers are put on dedicated 100 Mbps ports. Routers and

other networking devices can connect off of the switched backbone as

well. The fiber uplinks are available to connect the switch to a remote

location, such as another building floor or a separate building.
