100Base Solution
With a fileserver link, you can increase file server performance by increasing the Hub's bandwidth between one or more
fileservers and the workgroups they serve.
If you connect 10Mbps workgroup hubs to the 10Mbps ports on the Switch, traffic in one workgroup will not interfere with the
performance of another workgroup.

Connecting servers through 100Base-TX ports increases performance to the clients, even if the clients are on 10Base-T segments.
Because multiple 10Base-T devices can access the file server at the same time through a 100Base-TX connection, performance
