High-density switched workgroup application

Figure 8

shows an example of using a BayStack 420 Switch with a high-speed

(gigabit) connection to a Nortel Networks Passport* 1100 switch. BayStack 303
and BayStack 304 switches are also shown in this example of a high-density
switched workgroup.

As shown in

Figure 8

, the Passport 1100 switch is used as a backbone switch,

connecting to the BayStack 420 Switch with an optional (1000BASE-SX) GBIC
for maximum bandwidth. The BayStack 303 and BayStack 304 switches have 100
Mb/s connections to the BayStack 420 Switch, a 100BASE-TX hub, and a 100
Mb/s server as well as 10 Mb/s connections to DTE (data terminal equipment).
