Cluster Configurations
To add ports to a network made of a single Model 281xSA hub, or to add
network management to a network made of a single Model 280x hub, you can
create a Model 280x/281xSA cluster configuration. A cluster configuration (see
Figure 3-10) consists of one Model 281xSA hub and one or more attached
Model 280x hubs, up to a maximum of four Model 280x hubs. A cluster lets
you build the network from a starting point of 16 or fewer stations to a
maximum of 80 stations, and extend network management to all 80 stations.
