I read somewhere that fast ethernet (100 mbps) networks only allowed
for one hub between hosts, whereas with the older 10 mbps ethernet you
could have 3. Is there some rule like this for ethernet switches at
current network speeds? From reading, I would infer that they can
possibly be chained, since it appears that network segments can be
connected by switches, while all the segments can still be in one
subnet served by one router. What is the best way to connect up
multiple ethernet segments in one subnet? Thanks for any leads to
info on this.
