physical description 2-3
Note: Using Auto Uplink to create multiple active paths between any two network
devices can cause undesirable loops in the network, resulting in an endless broadcast
traffic that disables your network. Loops occur when there are alternate routes
between two network devices. In Figure 2-3, for example, a loop is created by con-
necting two RJ-45 ports on a GS524T Switch to a router containing a 4-port
switch. Figure 2-4 shows another scenario where a router with a 4-port switch con-
nects to a hub and to a GS524T Switch; the hub and switch, in turn, connect back
to the same router, creating multiple active paths between all three devices.
