Enterasys fn100 Betriebsanweisung

Chapter 1: Introduction

The FN100 allows multiple trunk groups with up to eight ports each to be 
connected between the FN100 and other network devices. This capability 
provides a scalable dedicated bandwidth of up to 800 Mbps.

For example, local traffic, such as the Manufacturing Department’s 
internal traffic, can be easily handled by a single, 100 Mbps connection. 
However, when the Manufacturing Department needs access to the 
corporate database, the traffic travels over a trunk line, thereby increasing 
the speed of transmission.

Figure 1-10 illustrates the trunking of multiple FN100 ports to increase 
the bandwidth.

Figure 1-11 illustrates how the FN100 can be used in a backbone network 
configuration.

In some wiring closets, it may be easier to connect two FN100 
switches via an Ethernet concentrator. However, you must 
make sure that there are no other devices connected to the 
Ethernet concentrator.
