New IEEE Standard - Superseded. Methods for conformance testing to satisfy requirements arising from the ISO/IEC 8802-3 [ANSI/IEEE Std 802.3] standard are defined. The conformance test suite is intended to detect incorrect implementations of the ISO/IEC 8802-3 [ANSI/IEEE Std 802.3] standard. It is comprised of two categories of test groups. The first category relates to basic interconnection testing and the second to capability and behavior testing. The test setups, adapters, and instruments used are described.
The conformance test suite is intended to detect incorrect implementations of the ISO/IEC 8802-3 [ANSI/IEEE Std 802.3] [3] standard. The test suite should demonstrate conformance to the ISO/IEC 8802-3 [ANSI/IEEE Std 802.3] standard. However, the user should be made aware of Section 1.3, paragraph 2, of the IEEE Standards Manual, December 1990 edition (Conformance of Products or Systems to IEEE Standards): "IEEE Standards may contain testing procedures useful in determining whether products or systems are in compliance with the standards. Compliance in itself does not necessarily imply quality or guarantee proper use. Where IEEE Standards are used as the basis of examination and/or testing of products or systems by laboratories or other agencies in the process of determining their suitability for their intended use and safe operation, the IEEE assumes no responsibility for the use or interpretation of its standards or the adequacy of the testing or certification." The test setups and procedure described in this document are designed to provide the implementor with a methodology for obtaining repeatable results by which conformance can be judged. However, these methodologies are by no means unique. This document does not preclude the use of alternative methodologies provided that an equivalence between the prescribed methodology and the alternative methodology can be demonstrated.
This document defines abstract methods for the conformance testing of 802.3 implementations in order to satisfy conformance requirements arising from the ISO/IEC 8802-3:1990 [ANSI/IEEE Std 802.3-1988 Second Edition] specification [3].1 Such methods will form the basis for any subsequent development of executable test cases.
