[SunHELP] Quad Fast ethernet

[ChrisBotha at CTNDDN]

Hi Muhammad,

The Quad card has 4 Ethernet ports.  You can set it up that each port has an
IP address.  If you want to install this card so that you can use all 4
ports for load sharing purposes, you need a package from Sun called Sun
Trunking.  You will need a switch that supports trunking.  Speak to your
Local Cisco rep for a switch like this.

You will be able to trunk all 4 ports in full duplex.

Regards
Chris
