Modifying Star Configurations
In our second example of a modified star network, a mesh network, there is a central site that needs
to be connected to each school and to the library, and each school also needs a direct connection to
the library.
Example 2: Mesh Network
You can modify a standard star network configuration in one of two ways. We use Example 1 to
illustrate both methods:
1. Add the site that is modifying the star configuration separately (For Example 1, that would be
the library annex). When you add the site to the already configured connection group, do not
select Add connection to Central Site when Remote site is added. Connection information will not
automatically be established. You can then manually configure the connection information. To
manually configure the information:
