7. Module 4: Best Practices Prior to teaching Module 4, the instructor should: Review the activities and assessments for this module. Try to include as many questions/activities as possible to keep students engaged during classroom presentation. Topic 4.1 Review the importance of network media (refer to Mod 3 PT 3.3.4). Ask students to describe what kind of network cables that they use at home. Discuss why different types of network media are needed (can one type fit all?) Bring some cables to class and have students classify them as twisted pair, coaxial, or fiber. Topic 4.2 If you have access to straight-through and crossover cables with cable colors that can be seen, put the students in teams and have them (1) identify what type of cable they see, and (2) determine what devices would be on each end of that particular type of cable.

8. Module 4: Best Practices Topic 4.3 Take a tour of the campus and see where you can find coaxial cable and fiber-optic cable in use. If teaching virtually, ask the student to take a tour of their living area to see what type of cables are installed. In teams, discuss their findings. Use a search engine to search for a network operations virtual tour. Ask the students as they watch the virtual tour together to make a mental note about the type of cabling they see. Discuss the use of cabling in networks today. Topic 4.4 Play the animation found on 4.4.2 that demonstrate how the transmit pairs on one side connect to the receive pairs on the other end. Discuss why crossover cables are needed between like devices. Bring up a picture of an Ethernet switch port pinout that shows the receive and transmit pins.

9. Module 4: Best Practices Topic 4.5 Show the 4.5.5 and 4.5.6 videos. Then, in teams or individually, have each student bring up a command prompt and use the ping and traceroute commands. You could use the Lab 4.5.8 or do as an instructor-led activity. Have the students have a reflection session in groups of 2 or 3 where they discuss how they might use Packet Tracer in their own lives to learn something about networking. Show the video on 4.5.4 on how to build a network in Packet Tracer and then have each student do the same. Do Lab 4.5.7 in groups of 2.

12. 4.1 Network Media Types

13. Network Media Types Video - Network Media Types

14. Network Media Types Three Media Types Communication transmits across a network on media. Modern networks primarily use three types of media to interconnect devices. Metal wires within cables - Data is encoded into electrical impulses. Glass or plastic fibers within cables (fiber-optic cable) - Data is encoded into pulses of light. Wireless transmission - Data is encoded via modulation of specific frequencies of electromagnetic waves.

15. Network Media Types Common Network Cables The three most common network cables are twisted-pair cable, coaxial cable, and fiber-optic cable. Twisted-Pair Cable Ethernet technology generally uses twisted-pair cables to interconnect devices. Coaxial Cable It was one of the earliest network cabling types developed. It is used as a high-frequency transmission line to carry high-frequency or broadband signals. Fiber-Optic Cable It can be either glass or plastic and it can carry digital information at very high speeds over long distances.

16. 4.2 Ethernet Cabling

17. Ethernet Cabling Twisted-Pair Cables The networks in most homes and schools are wired with twisted-pair copper cable. This type of cable is inexpensive and readily available. The Ethernet patch cables are an example of copper twisted-pair cable. Twisted-pair cables consist of one or more pairs of insulated copper wires that are twisted together and housed in a protective jacket. Twisted-pair cable uses pulses of electricity to transmit data. Data transmission over copper cable is sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Another source of interference, called crosstalk, occurs when cables are bundled together for long lengths.

18. Ethernet Cabling Twisted-Pair Cables (Cont.) Interference can cause problems with data being transmitted on the cable. A pure digital signal is transmitted. On the medium, there is an interference signal. The digital signal is corrupted by the interference signal. The receiving computer reads a changed signal. Notice that a 0 bit is now interpreted as a 1 bit.

19. Ethernet Cabling Types of Twisted-Pair Cables There are two commonly installed types of twisted-pair cable: Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) - This is the most common type of network cable in North America and many other areas. Shielded cables (STP) - These are used almost exclusively in European countries. UTP cables are used to connect workstations, hosts and network devices. Ethernet UTP cables consists of 4 pairs of twisted cables. Each pair is identified by a specific color code. STP cables are immune to EMI and RFI interference. STP cables are expensive, not as flexible, and have additional requirements because of the shielding.

20. Ethernet Cabling Types of Twisted-Pair Cables (Cont.) Many different categories of UTP cables have been developed to support a specific technology . Category Speed Features Cat 3 UTP 10 Mbps at 16 MHz Suitable for Ethernet LANs Most often used for phone lines Cat 5 UTP 100 Mbps at 100 MHz Manufactured with higher standard than Cat 3 to allow for higher data transfer rates Cat 5e UTP 1000 Mbps at 100 MHz Manufactured with higher standard than Cat 5 to allow for higher data transfer rates More twists per foot than Cat 5 to better prevent EMI and RFI from outside sources Cat 6 UTP 1000 Mbps at 250 MHz Manufactured with higher standard than Cat 5e More twists per foot than Cat 5 to better prevent EMI and RFI from outside sources Cat 6a UTP 1000 Mbps at 500 MHz Cat 7 ScTP 10 Gbps at 600 MHz

21. 4.3 Coaxial and Fiber-Optic Cabling

22. Coaxial and Fiber-Optic Cabling Cable TV and Satellite Cables Coaxial cable (or coax) carries data in the form of electrical signals. It provides improved shielding compared to UTP and can therefore carry more data. It is used by cable television companies to provide service and for connecting the various components that make up satellite communication systems. With the addition of a cable modem, the cable television provider can offer data and internet service, as well as television signals and telephone over the same coaxial cable to customers. Usually terminated with a BNC or F-series connector A metallic braid helps to shield against EMI and RFI The outer jacket is an insulator to protect against EMI and RFI A single center conductor is copper or aluminum

23. Coaxial and Fiber-Optic Cabling Fiber-Optic Cables Fiber-optic cables transmit data using pulses of light. Fiber-optic cable is constructed of either glass or plastic and it is immune to EMI and RFI. Parts of a fiber-optical cable are: Jacket - typically a PVC jacket that protects the fiber against abrasion, moisture, and other contaminants. Strengthening Material - Surrounds the buffer, prevents the fiber cable from being stretched when it is being pulled Buffer - Used to help shield the core and cladding from damage. Cladding - Made from slightly different chemicals than those used to create the core. It tends to act like a mirror. Core - The light transmission element at the center of the optical fiber. Light pulses travel through the fiber core.

24. 4.4 Twisted-Pair Operation

25. Twisted-Pair Operation Twisted-Pair Wiring Schemes The color coding of the wire pairs in an UTP cable is determined by the type of standard that is used to make the cable. Different standards have different purposes and are closely governed by the standards organizations. There are two standards that are widely implemented for typical Ethernet installations. The TIA/EIA organization defines two different patterns, or wiring schemes, called T568A and T568B. Each wiring scheme defines the pinout, or order of wire connections, on the end of the cable. One of the two wiring schemes (T568A or T568B) should be chosen for a network installation. It is important that the same wiring scheme is used for every termination in that project.

26. Twisted-Pair Operation Twisted-Pair Transmit and Receive Pairs Ethernet NICs and the ports on networking devices are designed to send data over UTP cables. Specific pins on the connector are associated with a transmit function and a receive function. The interfaces on each device are designed to transmit and receive data on designated wires within the cable. When two unlike devices are directly connected using an UTP Ethernet cable, it is important that the transmit function and the receive function on each end of the cable are reversed. This cable is called straight-through cable and it has the same color patterns on both ends of the cable.

27. 4.5 Verify Connectivity

28. Verify Connectivity Video - The ping Command

29. Verify Connectivity Using the ping Command A host that sends messages across the internet must have an IP address to identify it to the other devices in the network. The ping utility can be used to test end-to-end connectivity between the IP address of the sending host and the IP address of the destination host. It measures the time that it takes test messages to make a round trip from the source to the destination, and whether the transmission is successful. However, if the test message does not reach the destination, or if delays are encountered along the way, ping cannot determine where the problem is located. The format of the ping command is ping x.x.x.x , where x.x.x.x is an IP address or domain name of the destination host: For example, ping 192.168.30.1 , ping www.cisco.com , etc.

30. Verify Connectivity The traceroute Command The traceroute utility traces the route a message takes from its source to the destination. Each individual network through which the message travels is referred to as a hop. The traceroute command displays each hop along the way and the time it takes for the message to get to that network and back. If a problem occurs, the output of the traceroute utility can help determine where a message was lost or delayed. The traceroute utility is called tracert in the Windows environment.

36. 4.6 Build a Simple Network Summary

37. Build a Simple Network Summary What Did I Learn in this Module? Modern networks primarily use three types of media to interconnect devices and to provide the pathway data communications: copper wires within cables, glass or plastic fibers (fiber-optic cable), and wireless transmission. Twisted-pair is the most common network cable. The wires are grouped in pairs and twisted together to reduce interference. Data transmission over copper cable is sensitive to EMI and RFI, which can reduce the data throughput rate that a cable can provide. Two types of twisted-pair cable are UTP and STP. Fiber-optic cables transmit data using pulses of light. Fiber-optic cable is constructed of either glass or plastic, it is immune to EMI and RFI. Fiber-optic cables provides high bandwidth of data transmission over long distance. Two standards for Ethernet cable wiring scheme are T568A and T568B developed by TIA/EIA. Straight-through cables, or patch cables, are used to connect between two unlike devices. Crossover cables, are used to connect between two like devices. The ping utility tests end-to-end connectivity between two IP hosts. The traceroute utility traces the route a message takes from its source to the destination.
