Extending a Network
Ethernet specifications limit the length of cable between hubs and PCs to
100 meters (m) for a total diameter of 200 m. By adding Fast Ethernet switches
between hubs, the network is expanded by 200 m with the addition of each switch.
illustrates a network of BayStack 70-8T 10/100 Ethernet Switches
integrated with three BayStack 70-24T 10/100 Ethernet Switches. You can use
any combination of the BayStack 70 Series 10/100 Ethernet Switches, depending
on the needs of your network. You can add numerous workstations, printers,
servers, or other hubs and switches to this configuration to include all the end
stations on your extended network.
