Abstract
A method and apparatus for backplane support of 100/1000 Ethernet. A communication card for use in a chassis system is provided that includes a 100BASE-TX physical layer device component, a 1000BASE-KX physical layer device component, and a backplane connector, which is configured for enabling communication by the communication card over a backplane of the chassis system. The communication card also includes a selection module (e.g., a multiplexer) that is configured to selectively couple one of the 100BASE-TX physical layer device component and the 1000BASE-KX physical layer device component to the backplane connector, wherein the selective coupling enables a selected one of the 100BASE-TX physical layer device component and the 1000BASE-KX physical layer device component to communicate with a second communication card via the backplane of the chassis system.
