 CCNA1 – Module 7
• Legacy Ethernet (10Mbps), read from
material
• Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX / -FX)
– Three common characteristics (in TX and FX)
• Timing, frame format (same as 10Mbps) and
transmission process
– Uses different encoding system than 10Mbps,
4B/5B and MLT-3 (TX) and NRZI (FX)
 CCNA1 – Module 7
• 1000BASE-TX , -CX, -SX, -LX
– Use same timing parameters
– Similar frame than 10Mbps
• Differences are at physical layer (compared
to 10 and 100)
– Speed requirements
– Two encoding phases for fiber: 8B/10B and
NRZ, and 4D-PAM5 for twisted pair
 CCNA1 – Module 7
• Copper gigabit can be half or full-dublex
• Fiber is only full-dublex

• Distance limitations with fiber are

guidelines, medium itself district the length
of segment
 CCNA1 – Module 7
• 10 Gbps Ethernet is basically same as
previous Ethernets (frame, parameters)
• Major difference is moving from LAN to
MAN and WAN (physical layer implem.)
• New and complex encoding techniques are
used like WWDM (wide wavelenght
division multiplexing)
 CCNA1 – Module 7
• Future
– Increasing speed for Ethernet (720 Gbps)
– Special WAN applications like end-to-end Eth.
– Moving away from CSMA/CD
– QoS
– …
