Typical Configurations 2-9

Repeater Count Limits

A switch does not count as a repeater. Each of the segments connected to a switch port

can support a full Ethernet LAN; there can be up to two Class II hubs or one Class I

hub between the switch and any station(s).

If you have specific questions about your network configuration, or have a particularly

difficult network, please call your DIGITAL Service Representative. (See Chapter 4,

MultiSwitch 300 Troubleshooting.)

NOTE

The MultiSwitch 300 can handle a sustained load of 530 Mb/s or 700 Kp/s.

Exceeding these capabilities for an extended period of time will result in excessive

flow control. If this happens, the network should be reconfigured to decrease the

load.
