Summary: Ethernet Part 3: Fast Ethernet, Gigabit and 10 Gig Training
Review: Course Overview

This is the final course in a three part series that introduces Fast Ethernet, Fast Etherchannel, Gigabit and 10 Gig Ethernet. This course will cover the characteristics of Fast Ethernet, the fundamental concepts required to understand how Fast Ethernet achieve 100 megabits per second, and compares it to how Ethernet operates at signal level. Students will also learn about Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switching, and the characteristics of these high-speed switching technologies.

Learn To

* Identify how to design a Fast Ethernet network and improve its performance.

* Identify the concepts of Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking.



Audience

The audience for this course includes technical managers, system administrators, and system analysts. Students should have knowledge of computers and basic networking concepts. In addition, students should have taken the first two parts of this series (13927 and 13928).
