RE: (usr-tc) Questions about 2nd ethernet port and tcm
Nah, not necessary. Those are 10/100 ports. You'd need to have 178 users online simultaneously at a full 56K all downloading at the same time to eat up one 10Mb port.
Boy, I sure feel ignorant now. I guess I'm concerned about needing to use both ethernet ports to help load balance the data going to my switch. I really don't know what the effect on impact would be , if any, of using 2 ports instead of one.

I never ran the numbers, so I think you are right. I just have noticed a slowness in my local ethernet when things are busy, so I'm looking for things to try. Thanks for the response.
