Catalyst 2900 Series XL Installation and Configuration Guide
1-16
High-Performance Client/Server Workgroup
Figure 1-10 shows a Catalyst 2924M XL switch connecting workstations, 100BaseTX
hubs, and servers in a topology suited to client/server applications. The links to the
100BaseTX servers and workstations can be full duplex. A repeater does not support
full-duplex transmission, so the links to the 100BaseTX repeaters are always half duplex.
