The Magnum 3000 Stackable Hubs provide a flexible and cost-effective 

solution to a variety of Ethernet networking applications.  The combination of Stackable 

Hubs and Stackable Mixed-Media Concentrators with optional SNMP is unique and 

powerful. 

 

Figure 2.7, taken from an installation in a small educational institution 

building, illustrates some of the capabilities.  The task was to economically network two 

workgroups of PCs in Wing A and Wing C, and to consolidate them with an existing 

group of UNIX workstation users in Wing B.  

 

Here, a Magnum 3024 hub for 18 UNIX users in Wing B is being used to add 

to and to support a ThinNet (10BASE2) segment.  The BNC port is implemented via an 

RPM-BNC in the rear bonus port. This hub is connected to a stack of two Magnum 

3024's and one Magnum 3012 for 56 PC users in Wing A.  A second segment of Fiber 

(10BASE-FL) cable provides a link from the Wing A Magnum stack to an additional 22 

users in Wing C.  The optional future SNMP-based network manager can be connected to 

any unit of the Magnum stack in Wing A. (A single SNMP agent may be added to the 

Wing A stack as a future enhancement, for use with network management software.  

Also note that BPMs in the bonus ports at Wings B and C can bridge-isolate this network 

into 3 segments, each with essentially full bandwidth for high performance). 

 

Because the high quality Magnum 3000s adhere to industry standards for 

physical layer connectivity and for network management, they are popular choices for 

small-to-medium-sized Ethernet networks where reliability and economy are required.
