10Gb Ethernet

Enterprises use 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches to provide Layer 2 networking for very high-speed network applications – mostly in the data center or server room.

To build a 10 Gbps network, you need a 10G-capable network gateway, clients, and cables . The first thing is the network gateway, which supports connecting all devices at the 10 Gbps rate. To maximize value, you could add a 10G switch to the existing network.

Go to Device Manager, and go to the properties of your network card. In the Advanced tab, find the Speed & Duplex setting. The value of this should be “Auto Negotation”, however, in the dropdown there is a list of speeds the card can support. If 1Gbps is in the list, the card supports gigabit .

2.5Gb or 10Gb Ethernet ports Why you wouldn’t need it : The standard 1Gb port that even budget boards have is more than 10 times faster than most home broadband connections so you only need a faster port if you plan to copy files across your local network.12 Nis 2019
