Chapter 3: Configuring Your FN10

NOTE

In some wiring closets, it may be easier to connect two FN10s via an Ethernet concentrator. However, you must make sure that there are no other devices connected to the Ethernet concentrator.

Trunk Groups

Each set of connections between two FN10s is called a Trunk Group. You can create several Trunk Groups to interconnect your FN10s. Each FN10 can have up to four Trunk Groups.

For example, if you have three FN10s (A, B, and C), as shown in Figure 3-2, you could connect them using a single Ethernet segment. However, that would limit the interconnection to 10 Mbps. To solve this problem, you could connect A to B with one Trunk Group, and connect B to C with a second Trunk Group.
