802.3ah and Repeaters

Oct 24, 2005 0 Replies

Hi all,



I had a newbie question about 802.3ah. Would 802.3ah be supported for end host NICs? Or is it relevant only to links between switches/transport Ethernet devices?



I ask if in the below example, the use of 802.3ah for monitoring the status of the link between the two hosts is valid?

Thanks in advance, Samian
