Configuration Rules for Fast Ethernet
The topology rules for 100Mbps Fast Ethernet are
slightly different to those for 10Mbps Ethernet.
illustrates the key topology rules and pro-
vides examples of how they allow for large-scale
Fast Ethernet networks.
The key topology rules are:
■
Maximum UTP cable length is 100m (328ft) over
category 5 cable.
■
A 412m (1352ft) fiber run is allowed for connect-
ing for switch to switch, or end-station to switch,
using half-duplex 100BASE-FX.
■
A total network span of 325m (1066ft) is allowed
in single-repeater topologies (one hub stack per
wiring closet with a fiber run to the collapsed
backbone). For example, a 225m (738ft) fiber
downlink from a repeater to a router or switch,
plus 100m (328ft) UTP run from a repeater out to
the endstations.
Configuration Rules with Full Duplex
The Switch 3000 10/100 provides full duplex sup-
port for all its ports and Fast Ethernet Plug-in
Module ports. Full duplex allows frames to be trans-
mitted and received simultaneously and, in effect,
doubles the potential throughput of a link.
With full duplex, the Ethernet topology rules are the
same, but the Fast Ethernet rules are:
■
Maximum UTP cable length is 100m (328ft) over
category 5 cable
■
A 2km (6562ft) fiber run is allowed for connect-
ing switch-to-switch, or endstation-to-switch
