[AusNOG] Nbase-t - Multi-gig eth ports

[Beeson, Ayden]

Agreed, it’s a valid concern, those Pre-N devices were a mess.

With that said though, a lot of stuff like this does become standards anyway, Cisco are pretty good about giving up their ideas to be standards, the other competing one is apparently a much smaller “alliance” so I’d say this one will win out.

I think BGP was a cisco developed idea that became a standard? There are heaps of others though I can’t recall any right now.

At least this is developed by a group rather than just Cisco, so there is that, though as always, YMMV ☺

Thanks,

I wonder if this will be like when 802.11n first came out. All of the "Pre-N" devices that came out that would only work with devices from the same manufacturer.

This line worries me:
Q.Is Cisco multigigabit technology a standard yet?
A.Cisco multigigabit technology is based on the NBase-T technology, and is not yet an industry standard.
However, Cisco is collaborating with industry partners to work toward an industry standard

Hey guys,

Apologies if this has already gone around, but I hadn’t seen it yet.

For those that are interested, Cisco has launched its Nbase-T gear (multi-gig eth), including 4500-E gear, 3850’s, 3560cx’s and a 6500 line card.

For those about to upgrade gear (as we are) it’s a good consideration with AC Wave 2 coming (ETA TBD though) and gear starting to demand more than a 1gb port can offer, plus you can use it over older cabling (assuming cabling quality is up to scratch etc.)

All up, pretty interesting, even if it’s a stop gap measure in the long run.

Cisco’s FAQ on N-base:
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/solutions/collateral/enterprise-networks/catalyst-multigigabit-switching/multigigabit-ethernet-technology.pdf

There is tonnes more info out there and I believe there is a competing product that does a similar thing.
