Bridging from 10BASE-T to 100BASE-TX Networks

The Model FS516 switch can function as a two-port bridge connecting traditional 10BASE-T
Ethernet networks to 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks. Users requiring increased network
bandwidth can be upgraded to 100 Mbps while remaining connected to the rest of the network.
Figure 3-4 illustrates the Model FS516 Fast Ethernet Switch integrated with the NETGEAR
Model EN516 Ethernet Hub and the NETGEAR Model FE516 Fast Ethernet Hub.
