Segment Switching and Bridging from 100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps
The Model GS504T switch, as illustrated in Figure 3-2, connects multiple power
workgroups and servers using high-speed gigabit links. Each power workgroup is
anchored by a NETGEAR Model FS510T switch. Because each copper link can
be up to 100 m long, these workgroups can be located on separate floors or in
different buildings.
