An Introduction to FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface)

FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) is important in the local area web link (LAN).

Maybe some people dont know it.

This post provides some information about FDDI.

you might know what it is and how it works after reading this post.

What Is FDDI?

FDDI is the abbreviation of the Fiber Distributed Data Interface.

It is suitable for large LANs with a diameter of up to 200 kilometers.

The following are some features of FDDI.

The fields of an FDDI frame are as follows:

Besides, there are some FDDI standards.

you’re able to take reference.

Now, lets see how Fiber Distributed Data Interface works.

The double ring is composed of the main ring and auxiliary ring.

The main ring carries data.

This provides FDDI with the degree of fault tolerance necessary for the web connection backbone.

If the primary ring fails, FDDI will automatically reconfigure to use the secondary ring.

The workstation is connected to one (or two) ring using the media interface connector (MIC).

Depending on the implementation, its two fiber ports can be male or female.

There are two different FDDI implementations, depending on whether the site is connected to one or two rings.

Dual-attached stations (Class A stations):Connect to two rings.

M ports provide a connection point for a single connection station.

Dual-link FDDI uses two rings, the auxiliary ring is used as a backup for the main ring.

Dual connection FDDI is mainly used for web connection backbones that need fault tolerance.

The first section tells you the definition and features of FDDI.

Then, you might know how it works in the second part.

Read here, you may have an overall understanding of FDDI.

Hope the above information can be helpful for you.
