Class I Repeater
Fast Ethernet repeater that is principally used to connect different
physical signaling systems (e.g., 100BASE-TX, 100BASE-FX) and
that has an internal delay such that only one repeater of this type
can reside within a single collision domain when maximum cable
lengths are used.
Class II Repeater
Fast Ethernet repeater that typically supports a single physical
signaling system (e.g., 100BASE-TX, or 100BASE-FX) and that has a
smaller internal delay so that two such repeaters can reside within
a single collision domain when maximum cable lengths are used.
Collision Domain
Single CSMA/CD LAN segment.
Crossover Port
Twisted-pair port with a built-in wiring crossover.
Fast Ethernet Switch
Device that provides a full 100 Mbps bandwidth (or either 10 or
100 Mbps bandwidth with Auto-Negotiation) to each port (LAN
segment).
Full Duplex
Transmission method that allows switch and network card to
transmit and receive concurrently, effectively doubling the
bandwidth of that link.
In-Band Management
Management of the network from a station that is attached to the
network.
