16 Product Overview VH-2402S
Local Backbone Application
The VH-2402S 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.
