Section 1: Introduction- Sample Network Topologies
Some networks have multiple system con-
troller computers. This configuration is es-
sentially the same as the second example
with the addition of the second computer
attached to the hub or switch.
To create the more complex distributed star
topologies needed for larger systems, use
additional hubs or switches. Some have spe-
cial uplink ports for connecting to other hubs
or switches via a standard Ethernet cable. If
the hubs or switches do not have uplink
ports, then the hub-to-hub or switch-to-
switch connection should use a crossover-
type Ethernet cable.
