Hub guidelines should not be exceeded:
• Five segments of network media

• Four repeaters or hubs
• Three host segments of the network
• Two link sections with no hosts

Installing Cable - Some Guidelines

When running cable, it is best to follow a few simple rules:
•Always use more cable than you need. Leave plenty of slack.
•Test every part of a network as you install it. Even if it is brand new, it may have
problems that will be difficult to isolate later.
•Stay at least 3 feet away from fluorescent light boxes and other sources of
electrical interference.
•If it is necessary to run cable across the floor, cover the cable with cable
protectors.
•Label both ends of each cable.
•Use cable ties (not tape) to keep cables in the same location together.
Cabling
1. stripe the cable 3. Arrange the cables in color order and level the
edges
4. Put the cable in RJ-45
5. Crimp the connector
2. Separating the colored wires
Use tester SWITCH
• A switch is sometimes described as a multiport bridge

• Switches reduce traffic and increase bandwidth
• Switches operate at much higher speeds than bridges
and can support new functionality, such as virtual
LANs.
16

ROUTERS DTE & DCE

• Routers are responsible for routing data packets from
source to destination within the LAN, and for
providing connectivity to the WAN.
• The DTE is the endpoint of the user’s device on the
WAN link.
• The DCE is typically the point where responsibility for
delivering data passes into the hands of the service
provider.

o Carrier-sense multiple access methods with collision avoidance
o Token-passing methods that allow only a single opportunity to send
data.
o Demand-priority methods.
o Polling (The polling protocols which require an intelligent central
device )
• The most widely used types of Access Methods are: CSMA/CD &
token-passing. Polling is used primarily in mainframe &
minicomputer systems.

Introduction
• It is the direction of data flow between two
linked devices.
Mode of transmission • There are three ways for transmitting data
from one location to another. These are:
– Simplex mode
– Half-Duplex mode
– Full-Duplex mode
28
11/18/2017
Simplex Half duplex mode

• Data transmitted only in one direction • The communication can take place in both
– From sender to receiver directions, but only in one direction at a time
• No error detection mechanism • Error detection and correction is possible
• Example: TV and Radio Transmission • Example: Walkie Tokie
Full Duplex mode Data Transfer Methods

• communication can take place in both • In complex system data switching can be of

• The application in use, such as multimedia, database

Circuit switching updates, e-mail, or file and print sharing, generally
determines the type of data transmission.
LAN transmissions fit into one of three categories:
• Used in telephone networking • Unicast
• There are three phases in circuit switching: • Multicast
– Establish • Broadcast
– Transfer Unicast
– Disconnect • With unicast transmissions, a single packet is sent from
the source to a destination on a

video and voice destination network and the network
• passes the packet to its final destination. Figure 1 is an
example of a unicast network.
Figure 1 Unicast Network Multicast

With a multicast transmission, a single data packet is copied and forwarded to a specific
subset of nodes on the network. The source node addresses the packet by using a multicast
address. For example, the TCP/IP suite uses 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The packet is
then sent to the network, which makes copies of the packet and sends a copy to each
segment with a node that is part of the multicast address. Figure 2-2 is an example of a
multicast network. Figure Multicast Network
Broadcast
Figure 3 Broadcast Network
•
• Broadcasts are found in LAN environments. Broadcasts do not traverse a
WAN unless the Layer 3 edge-routing device is configured with a helper
address (or the like) to direct these
• broadcasts to a specified network address. This Layer 3 routing device acts
as an interface between the local-area network (LAN) and the wide-area
network (WAN).
• NOTE Broadcasts will traverse a WAN if the WAN is bridged.
• NOTE Ethernet is a broadcast environment in which one device transmits
and all other devices see the transmission. Ethernet (broadcast)
operation should not be confused with other LAN or WAN broadcasts,
where the frame addressed to the broadcast address (a broadcast frame)
is copied and forwarded across the network. Figure 2-3 is an example of a
broadcast network.

The OSI Reference model • It enables devices from different vendors to
work together( Interoperability)
• It enables us to visualize the process involved
in data communication
Introduction
• The OSI Reference model divides the process of data
communication into 7 layers
• Each layers perform a specific task
• In each layer there is a set of protocols involved, or devices
• The seven layers
1. Physical layer
2. Data link layer
3. Network layer
4. Transport layer
5. Session layer
6. Presentation layer
7. Application layer
Application layer
• It is the layer through which users or
application programs access to the network
• It provides the interface for application
programs to access the network
• Includes programs and protocols like
– FTP: File transfer protocol
– SMTP: Simple mail transfer protocol

the format sent down from the application layer • Performs dialog between computers
into a commonly recognized, intermediary format
• At the receiving computer, this layer translates
the intermediary format into a format that can be
useful to that computer's application layer
• It handles encryption and decryption,
compression and decompression
Transport layer Network layer

• Prepare the data for transportation • Responsible for computer’s logical addressing
• Divide message into smaller part that can be • It translate logical address to physical address
transmitted at a time. This process is called
segmentation • Determines the route through which the data
is transmitted
• The transport layer provides flow control and
error handling, and participates in solving • Devices at this layer can process data using
problems concerned with the transmission the logical address(like IP address)
and reception of packets – Router
• Data at this layer is called segment • Data at this layer is called packet
Data Link Layer Physical layer

• Adds physical address on the data • It is the layer on which the actual data is
• Converts data to a form that can be transmitted
transmitted into the network media • Defines the medium through which the bits are
transmitted
• It controls the electrical impulses that enter
and leave the network cable. • The physical layer is responsible for transmitting
bits (zeros and ones) from one computer to
• Devices on this layer can process data by using another
the physical address(MAC Address)
• Devices at this layer do not process data but
– NIC, Switch, Bridge simply receive and pass data in a form of bits
• Data at this layer is called frame – Cables, connectors, repeaters, hubs

Network Protocol Concepts of protocols

What is a protocol?
Definition of a "Protocol" is a set of rules by which two computers communicate. In plain English, you can say
that a protocol is a language, for example, English. For me to speak to you and make sense, I need to structure my
sentence in a "standard" way which you will understand. Computer communication works pretty much the same
• Protocols are rules and procedures for way. This is why we have so many different protocols, each one for a specific task.
-Protocols are rules and procedures for communicating. The term "protocol" is used in a variety of contexts. For
communicating
example, diplomats from one country adhere to rules of protocol designed to help them interact smoothly with
diplomats from other countries. Rules of protocol apply in the same way in the computer environment. When
several computers are networked, the rules and technical procedures governing their communication and
• Two computers can communicate with each interaction are called protocols.
-A protocol is the basic mode or language of communication between devices on a network. Just as different
other if
nations communicate in different languages, different protocols have different languages. A protocol is a formal set
of rules and conventions that govern how computers exchange information over a network.
-A set of rules or standards that control data transmission and other interactions between networks, computers,
– They use the same protocol or peripheral devices, and operating systems.
- The same protocol must be used on the sending and receiving devices. It is possible for two devices that use
different protocols to communicate with each other, but a gateway is needed in between. This is unmodified-you
– They use compatible protocols can get the modified version later 2
- Protocols determine the format, timing, sequencing, and error control in data communication.
- Protocols control all aspects of data communication, which include the following:
• How the physical network is built
• How computers connect to the network
• How the data is formatted for transmission
• How that data is sent
• How to deal with errors
Protocol stack(Suit): Protocol stack examples

• Set of protocols that work together • The ISO/OSI protocol suite.
• Each layer of the stack specifies a different • TCP/IP
protocol for handling a function or subsystem of • IPX/SPX
the communication process
• Protocol stack defines the process of networking
into layers. And in each layers there is a specific
protocol to perform a specific task on that layer
• Protocols exist at each layer of these stacks,
performing the tasks specified by that layer
TCP/IP TCP/IP and OSI

• Transmission control protocol/Internet • The TCP/IP protocol does not exactly match the
protocol OSI reference model
• It divides the process of networking into four
• TCP/IP was developed by the United States layers
Department of Defense as a set of wide area – Network interface layer
network (WAN) protocols – Internet layer
• It is currently the standard protocol in the – Transport layer
Internet – Application layer

Protocol Data Units(PDUs) Data Encapsulation

• PDUs is the data with control information at each • Data Encapsulation is a process of taking one Protocol
Data Unit (PDU) and enveloping it within a set of
layer of the OSI reference model protocol header and trailer. So that it can be handled
• The control information is attached to the header by the next lower layer

Documenting Your Network

• Physical Network Maps (cutsheet)
• Logical Network Map (IP addressing scheme) • Money. A linear bus network may be the least

unshielded twisted pair, which is most often used with
star topologies.
VLAN
• A VLAN is a logical grouping of devices or users that can be grouped

by function, department, or application, regardless of their physical
segment location. VLAN configuration is done at the switch via
software. VLANs are not standardized and require the use of
proprietary software from the switch vendor.
• A typical LAN is configured according to the physical infrastructure it
is connecting. Users are grouped based on their location in relation
to the hub they are plugged in to and how the cable is run to the
wiring closet. The router interconnecting each shared hub typically
provides segmentation and can act as a broadcast firewall. The
segments created by switches do not. Traditional LAN segmentation
does not group users according to their workgroup association or
need for bandwidth. Therefore, they share the same segment and
contend for the same bandwidth, although the bandwidth
requirements may vary greatly by workgroup or department.

• Routing is used for taking a packet (data) from one device and sending it through
the network to another device on a different network. If your network has no
routers then you are not routing. Routers route traffic to all the networks in your
internetwork. To be able to route packets, a router must know the following :
– Destination address
– Neighbor routers from which it can lean about remote networks
– Possible routes to all remote networks
– The best route to each remote network
• How to maintain and verify routing information
• Before we go on, I would like to define 3 networking terms :
• Convergence: The process required for all routers in an internetwork to update
their routing tables and create a consistent view of the network, using the best
possible paths. No user data is passed during convergence.
• Default Route: A "standard" route entry in a routing table which is used as a first
option. Any packets sent by a device will be sent first to the default route. If that
Thank u!
fails, it will try alternative routes.
• Static Route: A permanent route entered manually into a routing table. This route
will remain in the table, even if the link goes down. It can only be erased manually.
• Dynamic Route: A route entry which is dynamically (automatically) updated as
changes to the network occur. Dynamic routes are basically the opposite to static
routes.
