84 APPENDIX B: NETWORK CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES Simple Network Configuration Examples The following illustrations show some simple examples of how the Switch 4200 Series and 4900 Series can be used in your network. Segmentation Switch Example The example in Figure 23 shows how a 10/100 Switch, such as the Switch 4200 Series stack, can segment a network of shared 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps connections. There is a 10/100 shared segment on each floor, and these segments are connected to the Switch which is positioned in the basement.
