Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the FriendlyNET FX4000. This switch combines Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and
Gigabit Ethernet capabilities in a single, rack mountable unit. Combining these interfaces allows the switch

forward switching scheme. Every optional module has it’s own 12K entry MAC address table to store source
addresses. The backplane of the FX4000 can reach up to 9.6 Gbps, greatly improving network performance.
