Power is supplied as a common-mode signal over two or more of the differential pairs of wires found in the Ethernet cables and comes from a power supply within a PoE-providing networking device, such as an Ethernet switch, or by a PoE injector, a PoE power source that can be used in combination with a non-PoE switch.
The principle of loop avoidance. The utilization of learning, forwarding, and Filtering Database (FDB) mechanisms defined in the Ethernet flow forwarding function (ETH_FF). Loop avoidance in an Ethernet Ring is achieved by guaranteeing that, at any time, traffic may flow on all but one of the ring links.
Carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) in computer networking, is a network multiple access method in which carrier sensing is used, but nodes attempt to avoid collisions by beginning transmission only after the channel is sensed to be "idle". [1] [2] When they do transmit, nodes transmit their packet data in its entirety.
A 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX host normally uses connector wiring called medium dependent interface (MDI), transmitting on pins 1 and 2 and receiving on pins 3 and 6. An infrastructure node (such as a hub or a switch) normally uses the complementary wiring arrangement, called MDI-X, the X standing for -crossover. MDI-X simply reverses the pairs ...
Collision-avoidance methods include prior scheduling of timeslots, carrier-detection schemes, randomized access times, and exponential backoff after collision detection. In addition to the collision-avoidance methods mentioned, another important technique commonly used in computer networking and telecommunication to avoid resource contention is ...
The maximum jam-time is calculated as follows: The maximum allowed diameter of an Ethernet installation is limited to 232 bits. This makes a round-trip-time of 464 bits. As the slot time in Ethernet is 512 bits, the difference between slot time and round-trip-time is 48 bits (6 bytes), which is the maximum jam-time
The switch with the lowest priority of all the switches will be the root; if there is a tie, then the switch with the lowest priority and lowest MAC address will be the root. For example, if switches A (MAC = 0200.0000.1111) and B (MAC = 0200.0000.2222) both have a priority of 32,768 then switch A will be selected as the root bridge.
Modern wired networks use a network switch to reduce or eliminate collisions. By connecting each device directly to a port on the switch, either each port on a switch becomes its own collision domain (in the case of half-duplex links), or the possibility of collisions is eliminated in the case of full-duplex links.
