Types of network:
Network devices include all the devices that connect the end-
user devices together to allow them to communicate. 5
Networking Devices
Router
Routers are used to connect networks together
Route packets of data from one network to another
DTE device
Hub
Connects a group of Hosts
works on fix bandwidth
Switch
Switches add more intelligence to data transfer management.
Manageable device
Works on share bandwidth
It makes multicast & broad cast connection
Network Topologies
Network topology defines the structure of the network.
The other part is the logical topology,which defines how the media is
accessed by the hosts for sending data.
7
Bus Topology
• A bus topology uses a single backbone cable that is terminated at bothends.
• All the hosts connect directly to this backbone.
Ring Topology
• A ring topology connects one host to the next and the last host to the first.
• This creates a physical ring of cable.
Star Topology
A star topology connects all cables to a central point ofconcentration.
Mesh Topology
• A mesh topology is implemented to provide as much protection as possible
from interruption of service.
• Each host has its own connections to all other hosts.
• Although the Internet has multiple paths to any one location, it does not adopt
the full mesh topology.
Virtual Private Network
A VPN is a private network that is constructed within a public
network infrastructure such as the global Internet. Using VPN, a
telecommuter can access the network of the company headquarters
through the Internet by building a secure tunnel between the
telecommuter’s PC and a VPN router in the headquarters.

Routing
• Forwarding of packets from one network to another network choosing the
best path from the routing table.
• Routing table consist of only the best routes for every destinations.
Rules of Routing
• Head Office Ethernet interface should be in the same network as your Head office
LAN and similarly on Branch Office side.
Static Routing
• It is configured by Administrator manually.
• Mandatory need of Destination Network ID
• It is Secure & fast
• Used for Small organizations with a network of 10-15 Routers.
• Administrative distance for Static Route is 0 and 1.
o Disadvantages
• Used for small network.
• Everything to manually
Command of static routing
R( config)# ip route destination network destination mask next hope ip
Dynamic Routing
Advantages of Dynamic over static :
Administrative Distance
• The Number is between 0 and 255
• The higher the value, the lower the trust.
• Directly Connected 0
• Static Route 1
• IGRP 100
• OSPF 110
• RIP 120
• EIGRP 90/170
