or 100 Mbps hubs or other interconnection devices in various configurations. The configuration
examples in this section illustrate the integration of the switches in various network environments
using other NETGEAR products. These examples include a network of a few workstations
connected to a printer or a segmented network with multiple users or workgroups and other

Although the examples illustrate specific switches, any of the switches can be used in the network
