Preface
This manual describes how to install and use the 17-Port modular Fast Ethernet
Switch LB9217A. The switch introduced here is a base unit providing 3 expansion
slots, including two slots for 8-port modules and one slot for single-port module.
The 8-port modules allow for 10/100BaseT/TX or 100BaseFX; the single-port
module allows for 100BaseFX. Over a dozen of TX and FX modules or a
combination of TX/FX are available for fitting the switch. Furthermore, the 17-
Port Switch supports port-based VLAN and MAC-based trunking technologies.
To get the most out of this manual, you should have an understanding of
networking concepts such as bridging, IEEE 802.3u 100BaseTX/FX Fast Ethernet,
and local area networks (LANs).
