AT-FS750/16 and AT-FS750/24 Fast Ethernet Smart Switches Installation Guide

Collapsed

Backbone

In the topology shown in Figure 5 the AT-FS750/16 Switch is connected to

other managed and unmanaged Ethernet switches to form a collapsed

backbone topology. The AT-FS750/16 Switch functions as the focal point

of the network by transferring Ethernet frames between the switches. This

topology reduces the amount of unnecessary traffic in each workgroup,

because the AT-FS750/16 Switch transfers frames only when the source

and destination end nodes are located on different switches. This frees up

bandwidth and improves network performance.
