Network topologies
3
Switching technology allows extensive networks to be set up with numerous nodes and
simplifies network expansion.
Which topologies can be implemented?
Using the SCALANCE X-000 IE switches, you can implement star topologies.
Note
Keep to the maximum permitted cable lengths of the devices you are using. You will find the
permitted cable lengths in the section "Technical specifications (Page 35)".
