7-12 Fast Ethernet Workgroup Design

Once the backbone switch has been selected, changes need to be made to the

workgroups that will connect to the switch itself. As they stand, the current

workgroups cannot connect to the Fast Ethernet backbone network. In order to

support Fast Ethernet connections to the FN100-16FX, the MicroMMACs will

require a BRIM. The Network Designer examines the available BRIMs that can be

placed in the MicroMMAC-24Es. The BRIM-E100, when conﬁgured with the

proper Fast Ethernet Interface Modules, will provide a Fast Ethernet uplink to the

MicroMMAC-24Es. In order to support multimode ﬁber optic cabling, each of the

six BRIM-E100s will be conﬁgured with two Fast Ethernet Interface

Module-100FXs, providing 100BASE-FX connections. Once installed, the network

will look like Figure 7-6.
