The SuperStack II Switch 2000 TR TR-in-FE module 
combines Token Ring and Fast Ethernet (FE) for the 
purpose of utilizing FE as a backbone and method of 
high-speed server attachment for TR networks. 
TR-in-FE complements ATM and FDDI methods of 
high-speed integration by providing an option to help 
TR users evolve their network’s core infrastructure 
while preserving their existing equipment and appli-
cations. 

TR-in-FE uses Fast Ethernet to transport natively for-
matted Token Ring frames. Both source route and 
transparent TR frame addressing information is main-
tained through the FE infrastructure. This allows stan-
dard TR workstations and servers to use the fast 
transport without modification, or special FE servers 
to communicate to the native TR community.
