Installing the Switch 2124 Example Network Topologies Connecting to a Backbone Switch to Gigabit-Ethernet backbone fiber-optic cable Switch 2124 Switch 8000M Switch 2124 Installing the Switch 2124 Note 2-16 The simpler desktop and segment networks shown in the previous two examples can easily be combined and expanded. For example, you could use an HP Procurve Switch 8000M to interconnect each of your smaller switched workgroups to form a larger switched network. All the devices in this network can communicate with each other. With a Gigabit-SX Module, for example, installed in the Switch 8000M, the entire switched topology could be connected to a campus backbone, as shown in the illustration above. For the 100Base-FX connection between the Switch 2124 and the Switch 8000 to work properly, be sure that the 100Base-FX port on the Switch 8000 is configured to 100 Mbps and full duplex.
