Quick Reference Guides
The Quick Reference Guides provide a complete configuration manual for
Ethernet, available for free on the Web! The Guides contain over 150 pages
of concise technical information, including more than 60 figures and tables.
The 14 Quick Reference Guides contain the configuration rules from
the official IEEE 802.3 standard for each Ethernet media type, as well
as the configuration rules for combining media types. By using the Quick
Reference Guides you can verify the configuration of your Ethernet system
to make sure that it meets the offical configuration guidelines and will
work properly.
