Ethernet Workgroup Design 6-9
Ethernet
The table below shows the selection field of Cabletron Systems shared Ethernet
workgroup devices. This is the same table that was displayed at the beginning of
this chapter. During the course of the design example, sections of the table shown
will be removed to indicate the gradual reduction of choices as the needs of the
network are compared to the capabilities of the devices.
The Network Designer has decided that, due to the size and expected simplicity
of the network, management is not a driving concern at this point in time. As cost
is an issue, and management capabilities do add to the cost of networking
devices, the Network Designer removes those intelligent devices from the
selection field. The products removed from the field are not fully discarded from
consideration, however. If the remaining non-intelligent devices do not provide a
suitable match to the other needs of the network, the Network Designer can go
back and examine these intelligent devices for their suitability.
