Bridging with the Express 10/100 Fast Ethernet
Switch
A switch with individual ports capable of operating at 10 or 100 Mbps
can bridge 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps segments. No configuration of
your network operating system is needed.

Bridging with a server equipped with two 10/100
adapters (requires NOS that supports multi-
protocol routing)
If you’re using a NOS that supports multi-protocol routing, such as
Novell NetWare* or Windows NT*, an inexpensive way to bridge the
10 Mbps and 100 Mbps segments is to install two 10/100 adapters
(one running at 10 Mbps and the other at 100 Mbps) in your server
and let the server bridge the segments.
Check with your NOS manufacturer to verify support for multi-
protocol routing.

The benefits of the switch
are its port density (eight
base ports expandable to
12), performance, and
manageability.
Hubs 1 and 2 are in one
collision domain and share
100 Mbps of bandwidth.
Hubs 3 and 4 are in a
separate collision domain
from 1 and 2 and share 10
Mbps of bandwidth.
The server handles the
bridging and allows hubs
1 and 2 to talk to hubs
3 and 4.
