Making Network Connections

Switches are designed to interconnect multiple segments, or

collision domains. Each segment may contain a single server or

workstation, or multiple workstations that are connected to a

hub.

Connectivity Rules

An overview of the rules for both Ethernet and Fast Ethernet

collision domains is provided below.

INSTALLATION

Between any two PCs or other stations in the same 10 Mbps

collision domain, there may be:

• up to 5 cable segments in series,

• up to 4 repeaters (hubs),

• up to 3 populated cable segments, that is, segments

attached to two or more PCs (coax networks only).*

* The remaining two segments are unpopulated; these are

known as inter-repeater links or IRLs. This distinction between

populated and unpopulated segments is significant for coax

networks only.
