a basic stand-alone configuration, it can provide direct full-duplex connections
for up to 50 workstations or servers. You can easily build on this basic
configuration, adding direct full-duplex connections to workstations or servers.
When the time comes for further expansion, just connect to another hub or
switch using one of the Gigabit Ethernet ports built into the front panel, or a
Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver.
In the figure below, the switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a small
LAN. It is providing dedicated 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to workstations
and 1000 Mbps full-duplex connections to power users, and 1000 Mbps full-
duplex connections to servers.

LAN
With 50 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 50 distinct collision domains), this switch
can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node,
increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports on the switch are providing
1000 Mbps connectivity for up to 48 segments, while the 1000BASE-SFP ports
are providing connectivity for two Gigabit segments.
