As a Segment Switch
The Series 2600 Switches also work well as segment switches. That is, with
their high performance, they can be used for interconnecting network
segments—simply connect the network devices that form those segments to
the Series 2600 Switches.
In the illustration above, two “Fast Ethernet” switches with PCs, printers, and
local servers attached, are both connected to a Switch 2650. The devices
attached to the two desktop switches can now communicate with each other
through the switch. They can also all communicate with the server that is
connected to a 1000Base-T port on the switch.
