Networking Overview
A network is two or more devices capable of communicating and sharing
resources between them.
Two types of networks are LAN and WAN:
LAN (Local Area Network) A group of devices sharing resources in
a single area such as a room or a building.
WAN (Wide Area Network) Two or more LANs communicating,
often across large distances. The most famous WAN is the Internet.

Types of Local Area Networks
Two types of LANs are Server-Based and Peer-to-Peer Network:
Server-Based Network A basic type of LAN wherein users login toa controlling computer, called a server and is more secure. The server
contains information about who can connect to the network and to
what shared resources. It also provides some of these resources.
These networks normally consist of 10 or more computers.
Peer-to-Peer Network One of two basic types of LANs wherein
each computer user acts as a server. Each computer stores password
and sharing information for its own resources. Usually has fewer than
10 computers.
NOS (Network Operating System) Special operating system on a
server containing utilities for managing users, resources, and security.

Network Topologies
Network Topology Maps of how the physical or logical paths of network
devices connect. The three major topologies are star, ring, and bus.
Star Topology Most common Ethernet network topology where each device
connects to a central hub or switch.
Hub A device used with the Universal Serial Bus or in a star network topology
that allows multiple device connections.
Switch In star networks, a Layer 2 central controlling device. A switch looks ateach data frame as it comes through each port.
Ring Topology Network that is physically wired like a star network but,
logically in a ring; passes control from one device to the next in a continuous
fashion using a special data packet called a token. Used in Token Ring networks.
Bus Topology Network wherein all devices connect to a single cable. If the
cable fails, the network is down.
Mesh Topology Network where all devices connect to each other by cabling to
provide link redundancy for maximum fault tolerance. Most likely in WANs.

Network Cabling
Cable is normally used as a medium for transporting network data. The most
common types are twisted-pairand fiber-optic, although coax is still used in some
old networks.
Twisted-Pair Cable Network cable of eight copper wires twisted into four pairs
to prevent crosstalk.
UTP(Unshielded Twisted-Pair) Most common network cable that comes
in different categories for different uses. Categories 3 (voice-grade), 4, and 5(data). It is unshielded and more susceptible to interference.
STP(Shielded Twisted-Pair) Same as UTP cable, but with extra foil to
prevent outside noise from interfering with data on the cable.
Crosstalk Where signals from one wire interfere with the signal on an adjacent
wire.
Plenum cable is treated with Teflon or fire retardant materials to reduce the risk of
fire. It produces less smoke and is less toxic when burning.

Network Cabling
Fiber-Optic Cable An expensive network cabling made of plastic or
glass fibers that carry data in the form of light pulses. Most often used to
connect network devices such as switches together into a network
backbone or for connecting networks together in a WAN. More secure
and not affected by crosstalk or other interference like copper cable.
Single-Mode A type of fiber-optic cabling that sends one light beamdown the cable. Used for longer distance applications.
Multi-Mode A type of fiber-optic cabling that allows multiple light
signals to be sent along the same cable. Used for shorter distances.
Coaxial Cable Type of copper network cabling used in older Ethernet
networks as well as mainframe and minicomputer connections. Has a
single, center wire conductor with an outer braided shield.

Access Methods
There are standard rules by which computers on a network must adhere
to in order to communicate. These rules are known as a common access
method.
CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) A
common access method used by Ethernet.
Token Passing The common access method used by fiber and Token
Ring networks.
CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance) A
common access method used in wireless and Apple networks.
Token Small data packet passed from one networked device to
another in a ring topology.

Ethernet Issues and Concepts
Two types of transmissionsused in Ethernet networks:
Half Duplex A serial device setting that allows either the sending or thereceiving device to send data, one device at a time. Data can travel both
ways on a cable, but not at the same time.
Full Duplex A serial device setting that allows the sending and
receiving device to send data simultaneously. Data can travel both ways
on a cable at the same time.

Layers of the Internet
One logical view of the Internet has five layers
Physical Layer Layer 1 this model defines how bits are sent andreceived across the network between two pieces of hardware.
Data Link Layer in layer 2 bits are transferred across the network
by encapsulating (grouping) them into frames.
Network Layer in layer 3 the segments are sent between the
sender and receiver.
Transport Layer in layer 4 breaks a message into segments and
passes to the Network Layer.
Application Layer in layer 5 we have network related applications
like telnet, ftp, etc.

Layers of the Internet
In the Physical layer actual bits are sent either as electrical signals on
wires, or electromagnetic radiation through fiber-optic cables or
transmitted.
In the Data Link layer the information being transmitted is a frame that
has the actual info (datagram), header and trailer. The frame headers
use MAC addresses to identify source and destination.
The Data Link layer is implemented in the network adapter (NIC) and is a
combination of hardware, software, and firmware.
MAC (Media Access Control) is a 48-bit address burned in NIC ROM.

Networking Protocols
Network Protocol Specifications that define the network data
communication procedures to follow when sending and receiving data.
TCP/IP (Transport Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) the most
common network protocol used by most companies and home users
as a standard protocol. Used to access the Internet.
IPX/SPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet
Exchange) original protocol used for connecting to Novell networks.
Now TCP/IP is the standard protocol used.
NetBEUI (NetBIOS Enhanced User Interface) is a non-routable
protocol used in simple networks; commonly found on peer-to-peer
networks.

Network Addressing
Network devices have to be able to identify each other in order to
communicate across a network. They do this through various network
addressing schemes.
MAC Address One of two types of addresses assigned to network
adapters, used when two devices on same network communicate.
IP Address A type of network adapter address used when multiple
networks are linked. It is a 32-bit binary number with groups of eight bits
separated by a dot.
Network Number Portion of an IP address that represents which
network the computer is on.

Configuring Networking
Some key terms to understand when configuring computers for networking are:
UNC (Universal Naming Convention) A standard way of naming computers
and shared resources on a network. Used at the command prompt to obtain
network shares.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) A method to automatically
assign IP addresses to network devices from a pool of IP addresses. A computer
requests an address from another device running DHCP, usually a server,
receives it, and joins the network.
APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) Assigns an IP address and mask to
the computer when a DHCP server is not available.
Default Gateway The IP address of the Layer 3 device, such as a router, that
is directly connected to its immediate network and acts as a doorway or director
to other remote networks.

Configuring Networking
DNS (Domain Name System) Server Application on a network server
that translates Internet names (also known as Fully Qualified Domain
Names or hostnames) into IP addresses.
URL (Universal Resource Locator) A method of accessing Internet
resources by using a simple, easily remembered name assigned to an IP
address. An example of a URL is: www.scottjonespub.com, which ismuch easier to remember than the IP address : 167.160.239.173.
WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) Server Keeps track of IP
addresses assigned to a specific computer name. A user can type in a
computer name to connect and the server will translate it to the
computers IP address.

There are several ways in which computers can connect to remote
networks:
DUN (Dial-Up Networking) A remote computer that dials into the
Internet or a corporation using a modem.
VPN (Virtual Private Networking) A remote computer connecting to a
remote network by tunneling over an intermediate network, such as the
Internet or a LAN.
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) A connection-oriented Layer 2 protocol
that encapsulates data for transmission over remote networks. Very
common for home users dialing in to the Internet.

There are two main types of wireless networks:
Ad hoc also known as peer-to-peer or IBSS (Independent BasicService Set) An ad hoc wireless network is when at least two
devices such as two computers have wireless NICs.
Infrastructure Wireless network that connects multiple wireless
network devices through an Access Point.
Access Point is similar to a network hub and connects wireless network
devices.
There are three major types of wireless NICs: PC Card, USB, and PCI.

Authentication is the process of determining that a network device or
person has permission to enter the wireless network through the access
point.
Open Authentication Allows a wireless network device to send a frame
to the access point with the senders identity (MAC address). It is used
when no authentication is required.
Shared Key Authentication Requires the use of a shared key to
communicate.
WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy) Encrypts data when shared key
authentication is used.
Encryption the process of converting data into an unreadable format.
