BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switches302401-D Rev 00 1-21High-Density Switched Workgroup ApplicationFigure 1-8 shows an example of using a BayStack 450 switch with a high-speed(gigabit) connection to a Nortel Networks Accelar™ 1100 switch. BayStack 303and 304 switches are also shown in this example of a high-density switchedworkgroup.As shown in Figure 1-8, the Accelar 1100 switch is used as a backbone switch,connecting to the BayStack 450 switch with an optional gigabit (1000BASE-SX)MDA for maximum bandwidth. The BayStack 303 and 304 switches have 100Mb/s connections to the BayStack 450 switch, a 100BASE-TX hub, and a 100Mb/s server and 10 Mb/s connections to DTE (data terminal equipment).See the Nortel Networks library Web page: support.baynetworks.com/library/ foronline documentation about the Nortel Networks Accelar 1100 switch and theBayStack 303 and 304 switches.Figure 1-8.
