A.11.5 Example 5 — FDDI Tree Extensions
You can configure an FDDI network module, that is at the end of a branch of an
FDDI tree, with front panel M ports. The M port can then be used to connect to an
external FDDI network module or to an additional hub (see Figure A–18).
This configuration is used in situations where it is necessary to configure multiple
hubs or hub network modules into trees (for example, when more than eight modules
are required in the same closet).
