100Base-FX An implementation of the IEEE 802.3 Fast Ethernet
standard on multimode fiber cable with SC-type
connector with one pair of fiber cable. Stations are
connected using a star topology.
100Base-TX An implementation of the IEEE 802.3 Fast Ethernet
standard on Category 5 UTP with two pairs of wires.
Stations are connected using a star topology. The
maximum segment length is 100 meters.
802.2 An IEEE standard that governs Logical Link Control.
The LLC layer can provide either connection oriented
services, connectionless services, or a combination of
both.
802.3 An IEEE standard that governs Carrier Sense Multiple
Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) networks.
802.3, or Ethernet, operates on different cable types (for
example, UTP, coaxial, and fiber).
802.3u A supplement to 802.3 that governs Carrier Sense
Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) for
100Mbps networks. This supplement covers the
specifications for 100Base-T4, TX, and FX.
802.3 RAW 802.3 RAW uses the packet format defined by the 802.3
IEEE standard without additional header support such as
802.2.
ARP See Address Resolution Protocol.
Address Resolution
Protocol
Used by the TCP/IP protocol stack to dynamically bind
an IP address with a MAC address. This is defined in
RFC826.
Autodiscovery The ability of a network manager to discover the node
address and functionality of network devices. The 2824
hub supports IP and IPX autodiscovery.
