Fast (100 Mbps) Ethernet Modules
Alcatel's Omni Switch/Router Fast Ethernet modules can be used to connect networks with
100 Mbps workstations or as a network backbone.
The following Omni Switch/Router Fast Ethernet modules are available:
•
ESX-K-100FM/FS-16W
This module is described and illustrated in the following sections.

This module provides high-speed backbone connectivity. It also supports backbone features
such as 802.1q and OmniChannel. Each port uses the full 100 Mbps of bandwidth in each
direction (see ESX-K-100FM/FS-16W Technical Specifications on page 3-20). The single mode
