1.5.4.2 FN10’s Fast Ethernet Option

The FN10, configured with the Fast Ethernet option, has two additional ports that provide a fast Ethernet connection of 100 Mbps. Applying this increased bandwidth to the previous example, the Manufacturing Department’s traffic to the corporate database could be transmitted to the corporate database at the 100 Mbps rate.

Figure 1-7 illustrates connecting two FN10 Fast Ethernet ports to increase the bandwidth to 100 Mbps.
