• The term
cascade describes two or more hubs connected by Bay Networks
cascade cables. All of the hubs in the same cascade and assigned to the
same Ethernet cascade segment act as one Ethernet

hubs connected through the management extension ports. A single
network management module (NMM) in the stack can provide
management for all the hubs in the stack.
