Ethernet Port Settings: Difference between revisions

The Ethernet services are presented in different ways depending on the link speed you have requested, though the most common is 1Gb/s.

 

==1Gb/s Services (Standard) ==

 

For 10Gbit/s you will need special 10Gbit/s equipment, contact sales when ordering for details.

 

At the customer side the service is presented on a VLAN. The VLAN ID will be discussed during the order process. This would then be set on your router as the VLAN on interface that is connected to the Openreach NTE.

 

Where a dedicated site-to-site fibre is used then any packets simply go to the other end including any VLAN tags. This link is effectively a very long Ethernet cable, though still subject to packet size limits.

 

Packet sizes up to 1548 are permitted on site-to-site traffic. Internet access is limited to 1500 bytes (plus VLAN tag where needed).
