About Bay Networks Ethernet Media
The Bay Networks Ethernet/802.3 interface supports IEEE 802.3 and Version
1.0/2.0 Ethernet frame formats. Ethernet circuits use carrier sense multiple access
with collision detection (CSMA/CD) to manage access to the physical media in a
baseband LAN.
10BASE-T interfaces operate at 10 megabits/second (Mb/s) over twisted wire or
coaxial cable. 100BASE-T interfaces (sometimes called Fast Ethernet) operate at
100 Mb/s. Refer to the Bay Networks Guide to Understanding 100BASE-T for
detailed information.
The following sections describe proprietary features of Bay Networks Fast
Ethernet router services, and provide hints and notes for operation:
• 100BASE-T Media
• 100BASE-T Packet Size
