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.
