Segment Switching
The Model FS509 switch can segment a network into multiple connected pieces, increasing
overall bandwidth and throughput. Figure 3-2 illustrates the Model FS509 switch segmenting
networks that are built with a NETGEAR Model FE508 Fast Ethernet Hub and a NETGEAR
Model DS516 Dual Speed Hub.
Key:
1 = Server with 2000 Mbps connection (1000 Mbps full-duplex)
2 = Model FS509 (Normal/Uplink push button set to Uplink position)
3 = 100 Mbps connection
4 = Model DS516 Dual Speed Hub (Normal/Uplink push button set to Uplink position)
5 = Model FE508 Fast Ethernet Hub (Normal/Uplink push button set to Uplink position)
6 = Server with 100 Mbps connection
7 = PCs with network adapter installed, enabling 100 Mbps connection
8 = PC connected at 10 Mbps
