2.2.3 10/100Mbps Bridging

The LSW 10/100 Ethernet Switch can allow you to gradually transition
between traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and newer 100Mbps Fast
Ethernet. The addition of the LSW switch can give immediate increases
in performance on the 10Mbps networks, and allows connectivity to be
maintained when network stations are transitioned over to 100Mbps
Fast Ethernet.
