2.2.3 10/100Mbps Bridging
The LSW 10/100 Ethernet Switch can allow you to gradually transition between traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and newer 100Mbps Fast Ethernet. The addition of the LSW switch can give immediate increases in performance on the 10Mbps networks, and allows connectivity to be maintained when network stations are transitioned over to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet.
