Especially a growing network (by size or traffic load) should not violate

Segment up to 100m
Two 100m segments segments can be connected through a single
Class I or Class II repeater
System with a total diameter of 200 meters between DTEs
Twisted-pair transceivers that use 8-pin MDI connectors also send and
receive link pulses
called Fast Link Pulses (FLP)
used in the Auto-Negotiation mechanism
allows a multi-speed hub to detect the speed of operation of an
Ethernet device
hub can adjust the speed of its ports accordingly

Differences
new network cards needed (dual cards available)
coax cable no longer supported
integration can be accomplished with switches rather then routers
maximum hop count between stations (repeater, hub) is 2 (Ethernet:
4), larger networks have to employ bridges, switches, or routers
maximum network diameter between two stations in the same
segment is 205 m (twisted pair)

Half-Duplex mode:
Basically like classical Ethernet (Carrier sense, collision detection)
But: the data frame is much shorter now!
Two possible solutions:
Increase the minimum frame length or
Add non-data carrier-extension bits after the frame transmission
The latter does not violate the standard, so it was chosen

VLAN types
VLAN:
Group of nodes in an autonomous, secure domain
No multicast- or broadcast to or from the VLAN
Does not depend on the geographic location of the nodes
Only determined by software, potentially quickly changeable
Layer 1 VLAN
Tunnel between ports of the switch, no reading of any frame
information necessary, the packet belongs to the VLAN the port is
configured to.
Layer 2 VLAN
MAC is looked up to define the VLAN assignment. The switch has a
table of MAC and VLAN mappings
Layer 3 VLAN
Network Management system can configure all ports such that any
MAC belonging to a VLAN can be re-mapped.
No cut-through, but instead store-and-forward needed
