12 Product Overview VH-8G
Backbone Consolidation Application
The VH-8G switch can be used in a backbone consolidation application,
connecting network switches together and providing file-server access
(Figure 1-4). Workgroup switches are provided with a single connection
to the VH-8G while servers are put on dedicated ports. The gigabit fiber
links allow the switch to connect to a remote location, such as another
building floor or a separate building.
