2. Network switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

   A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, Ethernet switch, and, by the IEEE, MAC bridge[ 1 ]) is networking hardware that connects devices on a computer network by using packet switching to receive and forward data to the destination device. A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses MAC addresses to forward data ...

3. Gigabit Ethernet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabit_Ethernet

   Supermicro AOC-SGP-I2 dual-port Gigabit Ethernet NIC, a PCI Express ×4 card. 1000BASE-T (also known as IEEE 802.3ab) is a standard for Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair wiring. Each 1000BASE-T network segment is recommended to be a maximum length of 100 meters (330 feet), [5] [a] and must use Category 5 cable or better (including Cat 5e and ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonegotiation

   Autonegotiation. Not to be confused with Automatic negotiation. Autonegotiation is a signaling mechanism and procedure used by Ethernet over twisted pair by which two connected devices choose common transmission parameters, such as speed, duplex mode, and flow control.

6. Spanning Tree Protocol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanning_Tree_Protocol

   The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that builds a loop-free logical topology for Ethernet networks. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them. Spanning tree also allows a network design to include backup links providing fault tolerance if an active link fails.

7. Ethernet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet

   Ethernet (/ ˈiːθərnɛt / EE-thər-net) is a family of wired computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN) and wide area networks (WAN). [ 1 ] It was commercially introduced in 1980 and first standardized in 1983 as IEEE 802.3. Ethernet has since been refined to support higher ...
