Fragment Free tries it's best. Collisions can still occur. The difference between the mothods is the amount of the packet that is read before it is forwarded. If you want to have the best chance of never having a collision use Store and Forward. > /N Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=38155&t=38137 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
