802.2
802.3
Alternate Media Module
An IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard for thin coaxial cable (ThinNet).
Stations are daisy-chained with a maximum segment length of 200
meters. The repeater uses 10Base-2 in its repeater expansion port
(REP) to provide a common, bussed Ethernet segment. The REP
10Base-2 is implemented using twisted pair (not coax), limiting the
maximum length to 76.2 meters (250 feet).
An IEEE standard (802.3) for unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) wiring.
Stations are connected using a star topology. The maximum segment
length is 100 meters (328 feet).
An IEEE standard (802.3u) for high-speed Ethernet.
An IEEE standard that governs Logical Link Control (LLC). The LLC
layer can provide either connections-oriented services, connectionless
services, or a combination of both.
An IEEE standard that governs Carrier Sense Multiple
Access/Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) networks. 802.3, referred to as
Ethernet, operates on different cable types (for example, UTP, coax,
fiber).
An optional module that plugs into a repeater to provide an AUI, BNC,
or fiber Media Expansion Port (MEP). The MEP is the 17th port.
