Extending and Enhancing Ethernet Networks

Connecting Ethernet Segments 

You can connect hubs in two ways:
      - uplink port or a crossover cable
    

Uplink Ports 

- Enable you to connect two hubs using a straight-through cable
- you cannot use a single central hub and connect multiple hubs to that hub
- When connecting hubs:
         - only daisy-chain hubs
         - take time to figure out the uplink ports
