Ethernet ihinduranya ni ubwoko bwa switch bwohereza amakuru ashingiye kuri Ethernet, kandi Ethernet nuburyo bwo gusangira ibitangazamakuru byohereza bisi.Imiterere ya Ethernet ihindura: buri cyambu cya Ethernet ihinduranya neza na host, kandi muri rusange muburyo bwuzuye-duplex.Ihindura irashobora kandi guhuza ibice byinshi byicyambu icyarimwe, kugirango buri jambo ryabashitsi bavugana hagati yabo rishobora kohereza amakuru nta makimbirane.Ethernet ihinduka nayo ni porogaramu izwi cyane, kandi igiciro ni gito.Kubwibyo, porogaramu ikoreshwa ni nini cyane, kandi Ethernet yahinduwe irashobora kugaragara muri LAN nini nini nto.Ububiko bwa Ethernet busanzwe bufite ibyambu byinshi.Mubusanzwe, ni ikiraro cyicyambu kinini.Mubyongeyeho, igipimo cyacyo gishobora kuba gitandukanye, kandi uburyo bwakazi nabwo burashobora kuba butandukanye, nko gutanga umurongo wa 10M na 100M, gutanga igice-duplex, cyuzuye-duplex, hamwe nuburyo bwo guhuza n'imikorere.Ihame rya Ethernet ihindura: Ethernet ihindura ni imashini kumurongo wamakuru.Ethernet ikoresha aderesi ifatika (aderesi ya MAC), bits 48, na 6 bytes.Ihame ryakazi ryayo nuko iyo ikadiri yo gutangaza yakiriwe, izayohereza ku byambu byose usibye icyambu cyakira.Iyo ikadiri ya unicast yakiriwe, reba aho igana kandi ijyanye nimbonerahamwe ya MAC.Niba hari aho ujya, uzoherezwa.Niba itabaho, izarengerwa (gutangaza).Nyuma yo gutangaza, niba ntamucumbitsi ufite adresse ya MAC isa nkaho yerekeza MAC ya adresse yikadiri, izajugunywa.Niba hari uwakiriye adresse ya MAC ni imwe, izahita yongerwa kumeza ya adresse ya MAC.
