IEEE 802.3
Ethernet standards
568A
568B
What kind of signaling is used in Ethernet
Baseband
what type of access control is used in Ethernet
contention based- CSMA/CD
what is the format of an
Ethernet frame
describe an
Ethernet frame preamble
- 8 bytes of alternating 1s & 0s
- used for clock synchronization
- part of the CSMA/CD protocol to identify collisions early
describe an
Ethernet frame SFD
- 2 consecutive 1s at the end
- used for clock synchronization
- part of CSMA/CD protocol
SFD =
Start of Frame Delimeter
describe a
MAC address
- 48 bits (6 bytes) long
- unique device identifier
what is the size of an
802.3 payload
46-1500 bytes
max- 1518
MTU =
Maximum Transmission Unit
describe
ethertypes
- two-octet field in an Ethernet frame
- used to indicate which protocol is encapsulated in the payload of the frame
- used at the receiving end by the data link layer to determine how the payload is processed
- also used to indicate the size of some Ethernet frames
examples of
Ethertypes
- IPv4 0x0800 (Internet Protocol version 4)
- IPv6 0x86DD (Internet Protocol Version 6)
- ARP 0x0806 (Address Resolution Protocol)
Ethernet frame FCS =
Frame Check Sequence
Ethernet CRC =
Cyclic Redundancy Check
size of
Ethernet FCS or CRC
32 bit (4 bytes)
what is the format of
Ethernet deployment standard formula
xBASE- y
x Signal Mode y
bit rate (baseband or broadband) designator for the media type
Mbps or Gbps (Ethernet only uses baseband)
describe
10BASE- T
Ethernet standard
10Mbps Baseband signal twisted pair copper cabling
describe
Fast Ethernet
802.3u
100BASE- TX
- Cat 5 or better
- UTP
- max length- 100m
what is
autonegotiation protocol
devices chose the highest supported connection parameters
what is
fast link pulse
link integrity test + node 16-bit data packet signaling its service capabilities (speed & half or full duplex)
802.2 provides
a standard network-layer service interface, regardless of which MAC sublayer protocol is used
what is
802.2
LLC- Logical Link Control sublayer
which OSI layers are equivalent to
802.3
Physical + MAC sublayer
What is the relationship between layers of
OSI to IEEE 802.x
