technologies, especially when network hosts are being gradually migrated to new Fast Ethernet connections.
A dual-speed hub is actually two repeaters in one enclosure. The 10Mbps repeater receives Ethernet transmissions from any of its ports, and retrans- mits them to all other ports operating at 10Mbps. Similarly, the 100Mbps repeater retransmits Fast Ethernet transmissions from ports operating at 100Mbps to all other ports operating at the same speed.

If there is a DFE-260S module, or a DFE-916x hub present in the stack, the switching module will serve as a bridge between the two independent re- peaters.
