AT-MR420T and AT-MR820T

Backbone Networks

The most straightforward topology is a backbone network. Figure 12

show a backbone network topology with the AUI port attaching to a

coaxial Ethernet cable.

Figure 12: AT-MR420T Backbone Topology

In a backbone network topology, each workgroup has its own local

network and the backbone is used to link the various workgroups

through the bridges. The advantages of a backbone network topology

are twofold:

❑ When the backbone network is operating correctly, any

problem within a sub-network does not affect other sub-

networks.

❑ Since faults are isolated to a single sub-network, they are

easier to locate.
