Bridge speed doubts

Bridge speed doubts

[Leonardo Marques]

Hey guys,

I have a bridge with 4 ethernet cards, 3 are 10/100 mb/s and 1 is 10
mb/s . I having a low speed at bridge, all bridge ports are working at
10 mb/s i think that is occurring because I have one 10mb/s interface
on the array.

All the 10/100 cards are connected with others 10/100 connections, and
the 10 card are connected with another 10 card. So, i want between de
10/100 cards a traffic speed in a 100 mb/s speed and between 10 cards
or 10/100 - 10 a 10 mb/s traffic speed.

Anyone know if is possible do it and how to do it?

Im using the packet bridge-utils.

Thanks for attention.

The fact that you have a single 10Mb card does not influence the speed 
of bridging between the other cards at all. Maybe your machine just is 
not faster?
