DuraLAN Fast Ethernet NICs User’s Guide

FEC (Fast EtherChannel)

Fast EtherChannel® (FEC) is a technology developed by Cisco 
Systems based on standard Fast Ethernet used in parallel to provide 
the additional bandwidth network backbones required today. FEC 
combines two or four Fast Ethernet links to single logical connection 
capable of carrying 800 Mbits/sec of aggregate full-duplex 
throughput. In addition to scalable bandwidth, the technology also 
provides fault tolerance and resiliency, protecting the network from 
outages due to failed links.

Fast EtherChannel allows grouping of DuraLAN ports or NICs 
allowing full utilization of available bandwidth (up to 
800 Mbits/sec). Up to four single port NICs, 2 two port NICs, or 1 
four port NIC can be grouped. This technology also provides load 
balancing and management of each link by distributing traffic across 
multiple links in the channel. In addition, FEC technology provides 
redundancy in the event of link failure.

Duralink64 v4.2 software and all of Adaptec DuraLAN NICs 
support Fast EtherChannel technology, allowing redundancy and 
high-speed aggregation between switches and servers.

Fast EtherChannel is available on select Cisco Catalyst switches and 
Cisco routers.
