Managers can rely on familiar network analysis tools and procedures
in 10/100/1000 Base-T environments. Administrative information
translates easily from prior Ethernet implementations to 10/100/1000
Ethernet networks, which means minimal retraining of Management
Information Service (MIS) support staff. Administrators and system
integrators already know the technology, cabling, protocols, and
software.
Management software
You can manage 10/100/1000 Ethernet LANs with existing Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management application
software and Ethernet management information bases (MIBs).
Software support
Application and networking software functions unchanged on
10/100/1000 Base-T LANs.
Flexible migration
Automatic speed selection, where controllers can run at 10, 100, or
1000 Mb/s on existing wire, ensures non disruptive transition to
Gigabit Ethernet. Similarly, 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet switching
hubs enable smooth migration to Gigabit Ethernet in the wiring closet.
Gigabit Ethernet has the support of a growing number of vendors of
network controllers, network systems, and systems. Extensive multi-
vendor support ensures the development of a wide range of interoperable
products.
The type of system enclosure you use is determined by the configuration
and architecture of the host board (either SBC or carrier card). In some
cases, the host board and Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Module assembly
requires only a single slot in the chassis. A customized chassis may
