The other two segments must be link segments - connecting through network connectivity devices. Adding any clients on those two links would cause additional attenuation, which is not good for the network.

What is the 5 repeater rule?

The 5 repeater rule is also called as 5-4-3 rule.The 5-4-3 rule helps network administrators remember how many repeaters they can use in their network without violating the maximum delay limit, which can increase the number of late collisions.The repeater rule states that when extending LAN segments, you can only connect five network segments end-to-end using four repeaters. However only three of those segments can have hosts attached to them.


What is 5-4-3 rule in Ethernet?

This rule is a limitation of devices and connections that may be used in a network before problems occur. The rule is "5 total segments, 4 of which may be connected via repeaters or switches, 3 segments which must not be populated with clients". Note that this rule only applies to networks running at 10 mbps.


Is 5-4-3 rule of network topology is broken by switches?

No, because the rule refers to segments as well as devices. This rule only applies to 10base networks; when higher speeds are used (100 and up) the 5-4-3 rule does not apply.


Explain the 5-4-3 rule of networking?

A guideline for 10-Mbps Ethernet networks stating that between two communicating nodes, the network cannot contain more than five network segments connected by four repeating devices, and no more than three of the segments may be populated.

What is the 5 4 3 rule in networking?

On a standard Ethernet network, between any two devices that communicate (such as computers), you can't have more than 4 repeaters (this includes hubs). "5-4-3" refers to a maximum of 5 segments; 4 repeaters; 3 segments with hosts on them.

What does the 5-4-3 rule enforce?

It enforces network specifics: Five cable segments of 185 meters each Separated by four repeaters, with three of those cable segments are populated. Internetworking with Cisco and Microsoft technologies pg. 227


How can a network with 6 segments still comply to the 5-4-3 rule?

It's been awhile, but here goes: The 5-4-3 rule is part of the 802.3 spec for Ethernet networks. Origianally written to define timing for end to end signal propagation in a 10Base-5 nework. A station transmitting at one end of the network must be able to detect a collison that occured at the far end of the network before it's timer allows it to transmitt again. The spec says 5 segments of 500 meters sepatated by 4 repeaters (worst case). Under these conditions, adding a 6th segmant would put the network out of spec. If the 5 segments were 50 meters, theoretically the network would functional, but be out of compliance with 802.3's 5-4-3. A more modern day example would be a 10Base-t or 100Base-T network with a backbone hub (Hub1) and 5 uplinked hubs (Hub2-Hub6) Although there are 6 segmants, Station1 (connected to Hub2) and Station2 (connected to Hub6) communication would be in 5-4-3 compliance because it only crosses 3 segments and 3 repeaters. (Hub2--Hub1--Hub6) I know it's quick an dirty, but I hope it helps ...BruceB
