Hello, my question is about how is the backbone physically connected to the switches?, on a school senario, where there will be 1 MDF and 3 IDF’s, there will be 2 routers and a 10/100 switch in the MDF, and 1 10/100 switch in each IDF,
MDF= switch 0
IDF1=switch 1
IDF2=switch 2
IDF3=switch 3
Ill be using FDDI for backbone the switches are going to be 1000 Mts apart from each other.
I understand that the switches are connected to each other through the UPLINK is this correct? or does the backbone comes from the switch in the MDF to the other switches separetly or are the switche connected to each other? , but what if they only have one uplink? how can you connect 3 or more switches with only one uplink per switch?
Please example of bacbone wiring scheme.
PLEASE explain the back bone concept and how is it physicaly connected to the networking devices ( Switches)
Thanks again guys!
