Networks Sharing Communication Organization Money
Network infrastructure The network infrastructure contains three categories of network components:
Media
Services
Circuit based vs packet switching networks
Types of network Local Area Network (LAN) Wide Area Network (WAN) Other types of networks include: Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) Wireless LAN (WLAN) Storage Area Network (SAN) Personal Area Network (PAN)
Local Area Network A Local Area Network (LAN) is group of computers confined to a small geographic area, such as a single building A LAN is a group of computers or devices that share a common communication medium, such as cabled or wireless connections
Basic example of LAN Broadcast
SOHO – small office-home office
More advence example of a LAN
Network Documentation Network documentation helps describe, define, and explain the physical and logical method for connecting devices The documentation phase occurs before a network is built, or when changes are made to the network Microsoft Visio is a tool that can be used to document networks
HUB A Hub is the most basic central connecting device Hubs enable computers on a network to communicate A host sends data to the hub. The hub sends the data to all devices connected to the hub
Switch Switches work the same was as a hub, but they can identify the intended recipient of the data Switches can send and receive data at the same time

Router Routers enable computers to communicate and allow communication between two networks – such as your home network and the Internet This communications link between the one network and the other is where the LAN ends
Network adapter Network interface card or NIC is the device that enables you to send and recive dato to and from computer

LAN status Type of connectivity Speed Time Total bytes send Total bytes received
Logical and psychical address Every computer on LAN has psychical and logical address.
Defining data transfer on a LAN Information is send from one network adapter to another Serial data transfer means the transfer of one bit at a time
Ethernet Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard (802.3) that defines how information is sent and received between network adapters, hubs, switches, and other devices Ethernet is the de facto standard and is the most widely-installed local area network technology Common types of Ethernet include: 802.3u or Fast Ethernet that runs at 100 Mbps 802.3ab or Gigabit Ethernet
Metcalfe's first Ethernet sketch This diagram was hand drawn by Robert M. Metcalfe and photographed by Dave R. Boggs in 1976 to produce a 35mm slide used to present Ethernet to the National Computer Conference in June of that year. On the drawing are the original terms for describing Ethernet
Broadcast, Multicast, Unicast Broadcast – all to all communication Multicast - is group communication Unicast – one to one communication
Frames Computers on Ethernet networks communicate via frames A frame is a sequence of bits containing a detectable beginning and end of a packet in the stream of bits A frame is a data packet residing on Layer 2 of the OSI model data frame crc (4 bytes) preamble (8 bytes)
IP packets
Data transfer on a LAN 1. Data is packaged by operating system info packet 2. Network adapter takes the packet and places it in inside frame 3. Now, the frame of information need to be sent to the physical media – cabling. To do this, the network adapter breaks down the frame of information into a serial data streem that is send one bit at a time across the cables to the other computer 4. The reciving computer takes the single-bit stream and recreate the frame of data and create packet 5. Packet is send to the operating sistem
Internet Protocol - IP IP address Subnet mask
Host The fact that a device or computer has an IP address is what makes it a host
Internet Protocol Version 4
Command ipconfig
Command ping
Identifying Types of LANa Types of LAN: - Wired connections - Wireless connection - Mix - Virtual LANs
Wired LAN Computers and other devices are wired together using copper-based twisted-pair cables. Hubs, switch, routers
Wired LAN diagram
Wireless LAN Wireless local area network (WLAN) Wireless access point (WAP)

Virtual LAN - VLAN A virtual LAN is a group of host with a common set of requirements that communicate as they were connected together in a normal fashion on one switch, regardless of ther physical location.

Network Topologies A network topology defines the physical connection of host in a computer network.
Star topology Most Common topology Each computer is individually wired to a central connecting device (hub, switch or SOHO router) with twisted-pair cabling
Mesh topology Every computer connects to every other computer; no central connecting device is needed.
Ring topology In a LAN environment, each computer is connected to the network using a closed loop Used by Token Ring and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)
It's All About IEEE 802.3™ Ethernet
Ethernet standards
IEEE 802.3 ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ) CSMA/CD ( Carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection )
Collision detected procedure If a collision was detected in step 4
In the topology above we have a hub network. Host A is trying to communicate with host B. Host A “senses” the wire and decides to send packets. But, in the same time, host C sends its packets to host D and the collision occurs. The sending devices (host A and host C) detect the collision and resend the packet after a random period of time. NOTE Since switches are now commonly used in networks instead of hubs, CSMA /CD is not really used anymore. Each port on a swich usually operate in a full duplex mode and there are no packet collisions in a full duplex mode.
Collision & broadcast domain Collision domain
A broadcast domain is the domain in which a broadcast is forwarded. A broadcast domain contains all devices that can reach each other at the data link layer ( OSI layer 2) by using broadcast.
Centralized Computing Computing is done at a central location using terminals that are attached to this main system Mainframes are a powerful computer and the rest of the devices connected to the computer are known as terminals (or dumb terminals) Each terminal consisted solely of a keyboard and display with no processing power
Client/Server Model The client/server model is an architecture that distributes applications between servers and client computers Server: System that provides services such as Windows Server 2008 R2 Client: Device that requests services such as Windows 7
Example of uses for server File server Print server Database server Network controller Messaging server Web server CTI-based server
Peer-to-Peer Networking Peer-to-peer networking distributes applications or workloads between computers Peers are both service providers and service requestors
Distributed Computing Distributive computing includes both client-server and peer-to-peer networks Every device or workstation has its own processing power
