Networking Technologies
Network: is basically all the components (H/W & S/W) involved in connecting computer across small and large distance

Importance of Networks: Easy access and sharing of information Sharing of expensive devices and network resources Modern Technologies (IP telephony, Video on Demand, .etc)
9

Network components
Network has three main components Computers (servers and hosts) - Source of applications (network aware applications) - ex: HTTP (Hyper Text Transmission Protocol), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Telnet Network Devices - Devices that interconnect different computers together - ex: Repeaters, hub, bridge, switch, router, NIC and modems Connectivity - Media that physically connect the computers and network devices - ex: Wireless and cables

10

Network Types
LAN (Local Area Network): It is a group of network components that work within small area MAN (Metropolitan Area Network): It is a group of LANs that are interconnected within small area WAN (Wide Area Network): It is a group of LANs that are interconnected within large area
11

Network Topologies
Topology: How devices are connected together Physical Topology: It describes how devices are physically cabled Logical Topology: It describes how devices communicate across physical topology ex. unicast , broadcast , multicast

12

Reference Models
- describe data transfer standards - a framework (guideline) for network implementation and troubleshooting - divides complex functions in to simpler components - Reference model types : - OSI - TCP/IP

It also is used to insure reliable data transport across the network.


PDU - Segments

Layer 3 - The Network Layer


7 Application Sometimes referred to as the Cisco Layer. Makes Best Path Determination decisions based on logical addresses (usually IP addresses).
