Why Interconnect?
•To separate / connect one corporate division with another.
•To connect two LANs with different protocols.
•To connect a LAN to the Internet.
•To break a LAN into segments to relieve traffic congestion.
•To provide a security wall between two different types of users.
•To connect WLAN to LAN

Introduction
Many times it is necessary to connect a LAN to another LAN or to a WAN.
Computers within a LAN are often connected using a hub
LAN to LAN connections are often performed with a bridge.
Segments of a LAN are usually connected using a switch.
LAN to WAN connections are usually performed with a router.

Hubs
A hub interconnects two or more workstations into a local area network.
When a workstation transmits to a hub, the hub immediately resends the data frame to all connecting links.
Hubs expand one Ethernet connection into many. For example, a four-port hub connects up to four machines

Selective Forwarding
If A sends a frame to E - the frame must be forwarded by the bridge.
If A sends a frame to B - there is no reason to forward the frame.

contains information about which hosts are on which network.

Learning the host mapping
The bridge forwards packets for which it does not know network destination.
Every time the bridge forwards a packet it records the network on which the sender is located.
![Page 13: Local Area Networks - Internetworking 1. Internetworking devices 2 Increasing power and complexity Hubs Bridges Switches Routers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5518bd4b550346b31f8b53fb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Transparent Bridges
A transparent bridge does not need programming but observes all traffic and builds routing tables from this observation.
This observation is called backward learning.
Each bridge has two connections (ports) and there is a routing table associated with each port.
A bridge observes each frame that arrives at a port, extracts the source address from the frame, and places that address in the port’s routing table.
A transparent bridge is found with CSMA/CD LANs.
![Page 14: Local Area Networks - Internetworking 1. Internetworking devices 2 Increasing power and complexity Hubs Bridges Switches Routers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5518bd4b550346b31f8b53fb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Source-routing Bridges
A source-routing bridge is found with token ring networks.
Source-routing bridges do not learn from watching tables.
When a workstation wants to send a frame, it must know the exact path of network / bridge
If a workstation does not know the exact path, it sends out a discovery frame.
The discovery frame makes its way to the final destination, then as it returns, it records the path.

Remote Bridges
A remote bridge is capable of passing a data frame from one local area network to another when the two LANs are separated by a long distance and there is a wide area network connecting the two LANs.
A remote bridge takes the frame before it leaves the first LAN and encapsulates the WAN headers and trailers.
When the packet arrives at the destination remote bridge, that bridge removes the WAN headers and trailers leaving the original frame.
![Page 16: Local Area Networks - Internetworking 1. Internetworking devices 2 Increasing power and complexity Hubs Bridges Switches Routers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5518bd4b550346b31f8b53fb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bridges vs RoutersBridge: A bridge is a
device that connects two segments of the same network. The two networks being connected can be alike or dissimilar.
Bridges are protocol-independent. They simply forward packets without analyzing and re-routing messages.
Router: A router is a device that connects two distinct networks. Routers are similar to bridges, but provide additional functionality, such as the ability to filter messages and forward them to different places based on various criteria.
The Internet uses routers extensively to forward packets from one host to another.

SwitchesA switch is a combination of a hub and a bridge.
It can interconnect two or more workstations, but like a bridge, it observes traffic flow and learns.
When a frame arrives at a switch, the switch examines the destination address and forwards the frame out the one necessary connection.
![Page 18: Local Area Networks - Internetworking 1. Internetworking devices 2 Increasing power and complexity Hubs Bridges Switches Routers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5518bd4b550346b31f8b53fb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Switches
Major role: isolating traffic patterns and providing multiple access. This design is usually done by the network manager.
Switches are easy to install and have components that are hot-swappable.
![Page 19: Local Area Networks - Internetworking 1. Internetworking devices 2 Increasing power and complexity Hubs Bridges Switches Routers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5518bd4b550346b31f8b53fb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Switches
The backplane of a switch is fast enough to support multiple data transfers at one time.
Multiple workstations connected to a switch use dedicated segments. This is a very efficient way to isolate heavy users from the network.
![Page 20: Local Area Networks - Internetworking 1. Internetworking devices 2 Increasing power and complexity Hubs Bridges Switches Routers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5518bd4b550346b31f8b53fb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Switches vs routers
20
Switches are considered layer-two devices, using MAC addresses to forward frames to their proper destination. Routers, layer-three devices, are much more complex, using microprocessor-based circuitry to route packets between networks based on their IP address. Routers provide the following services: route discovery; selection of the best route to a destination; adaptation to changes in the network; translation from one technology to another, such as Ethernet to token ring; packet filtering based on IP address, protocol, or UDP/TCP port number; and connection to a WAN.
Because of the additional processing required for each packet, a router has a higher latency than a switch. In addition, a router requires an initial set-up sequence, in which the ports are programmed and certain protocols and characteristics are enabled or disabled. A switch may be simply plugged into the network, automatically learning how to forward frames as the network is used. Note that some protocols (e.g., NetBEUI) can’t be routed; instead, they will pass through a switch. Finally, switches are used within networks to forward local traffic intelligently. Routers are used between networks to route packets between networks in the most efficient manner.

Full Duplex Switches
A full duplex switch allows for simultaneous transmission and reception of data to and from a workstation.
This full duplex connection helps to eliminate collisions.
To support a full duplex connection to a switch, two sets of wires are necessary - one for the receive operation and one for the transmit operation.
![Page 28: Local Area Networks - Internetworking 1. Internetworking devices 2 Increasing power and complexity Hubs Bridges Switches Routers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5518bd4b550346b31f8b53fb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Network Servers
Network servers provide the storage necessary for LAN software.
They are usually the focal point for the network operating system.
Increasingly, network servers are functioning as bridges, switches, and routers. By adding the appropriate card, a server can assume multiple functions.
![Page 30: Local Area Networks - Internetworking 1. Internetworking devices 2 Increasing power and complexity Hubs Bridges Switches Routers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5518bd4b550346b31f8b53fb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Routers (really specialized computers)
The device that connects a LAN to a WAN or a WAN to a WAN (the INTERNET! – uses IP addresses).
A router accepts an outgoing packet, removes any LAN headers and trailers, and encapsulates the necessary WAN headers and trailers.
Because a router has to make wide area network routing decisions, the router has to dig down into the network layer of the packet to retrieve the network destination address.
![Page 31: Local Area Networks - Internetworking 1. Internetworking devices 2 Increasing power and complexity Hubs Bridges Switches Routers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5518bd4b550346b31f8b53fb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Routers
Thus, routers are often called “layer 3 devices”. They operate at the third layer, or OSI network layer, of the packet.
Routers often incorporate firewall functions.
An example of a router’s operation is shown on the next slide.
