BASIC NETWORKING HARDWARE & SOFTWARE

WHAT COMPONENTS MAKES UP A NETWORK?

Computers or WorkstationsThe most obvious requirements for a network are a number of computers or workstations.

We now need some means of physically connecting them.

Networking Components

Networking Components including:

Kabel Network Adapter Card (NIC) Hub Switch Repeater Bridges

Networking Components

Kabel

Dua jenis kabel yang biasa digunakan ialah twisted pair (10BaseT) dan thin coax (10Base2) Kabel 10BaseT berbentuk seperti kabel telefon dan mempunyai 8 wayar. Sesuai untuk kegunaan rangkaian yang kecil. Kabel 10Base2 berbentuk seperti kabel yang digunakan untuk menyambung VCR kepada TV

WHAT COMPONENTS MAKES UP A NETWORK?

CablingYou must have some means of physically connecting them together. The type of cable you use to connect the computers together will very much depend on your needs. Networks Topology Protocol Size Poor low quality cabling can result in poor data Transmission; causing data to become corrupted.

WHAT COMPONENTS MAKES UP A NETWORK?

Types of CablingCoaxial

Coaxial cabling has a single copper conductor in its center. A plastic layer provides insulation between the center conductor and a braided metal shield. The metal shield helps to block outside interference.

WHAT COMPONENTS MAKES UP A NETWORK?

Types of CablingCoaxial There are two types of coaxial cabling: Thin coaxial also known as 10Base2 Thick coaxial also known as 10Base5 2 = maximum length 200Mtrs (185) 5 = maximum length 500Mtrs Coaxial cabling is often used on the linear Bus

WHAT COMPONENTS MAKES UP A NETWORK?

Types of CablingTwisted Pair

Twisted Pair cabling comes in two varieties; shielded and unshielded. UTP is the most popular. The cable has four pairs of wires inside the jacket twisted to eliminate interference from adjacent pairs and other electrical devices.

WHAT COMPONENTS MAKES UP A NETWORK?

Types of CablingTwisted Pair

WHAT COMPONENTS MAKES UP A NETWORK?

Types of CablingTwisted Pair 10BaseT refers to the specifications for UTP. 100Mtrs maximum segment length.

Shielded twisted pair (STP) is suitable for environments with electrical interference; however the extra shielding can make it quite bulky.

WHAT COMPONENTS MAKES UP A NETWORK?

Types of CablingFiber Optic Cable

Fiber optic cabling consists of a center glass core surrounded by several layers of protective materials. It transfers light rather than electronic signals, Eliminating the problem of electrical interference.

WHAT COMPONENTS MAKES UP A NETWORK?

Types of CablingFiber optic cabling Fiber optic has the ability to transmit signals over much longer distances than coaxial or twisted pair. It also has the capability to carry information at vastly greater speeds. 10BaseF or 100BaseFX refers to the specifications for fiber optic cable.

WHAT COMPONENTS MAKES UP A NETWORK?

Network Card

To allow our workstations to communicate with each other we must fit each computer with a network card These are known as Network Interface Cards. they are fitted into an expansion slot.

Komponen Rangkaian

Network Adapter Card (NIC)

Kad tambahan yang diperlukan untuk membolehkan komputer menggunakan rangkaian. Dipasang terus di atas papan induk. Komputer pentium/II/III menggunakan 32-bit NIC. Tetapi untuk rangkaian Fast Ethernet, 10/100 NIC diperlukan. Untuk komputer riba (laptop), Kad rangkaian dalam bentuk PCMCIA diperlukan.

Komponen Rangkaian

Hub (wiring concentrators)

Peranti penyambungan yang digunakan untuk menghubungkan kesemua PC dalam rangkaian yang menggunakan kabel 10BaseT Boleh didapati dalam bentuk 10Mbps dan 100Mbps (untuk Fast Ethernet)Hubs come in 3 types: Passive Active Intelligent

Komponen Rangkaian

Switch

Hub berprestasi tinggi (100Mbps) Kesemua NIC dlm rangkaian dianggap individu Interaksi lebih cepat dan penyambungan kepada rangkaian boleh dibuat pada kelajuan yang tinggi

SWITCHES

Switches are a fundamental part of most networks. They make it possible for several users to send information over a network at the same time without slowing each other down. While hubs provide an easy way to scale up and shorten the distance that the packets must travel to get from one node to another, they do not break up the actual network into discrete segments. That is where switches come in. Just like routers allow different networks to communicate with each other, switches allow different nodes (a network connection point, typically a computer) of a network to communicate directly with one another in a smooth and efficient manner.

Think of a hub as a four-way intersection where everyone has to stop. If more than one car reaches the intersection at the same time, they have to wait for their turn to proceed. Now imagine what this would be like with a dozen or even a hundred roads intersecting at a single point. The amount of waiting and the potential for a collision increases significantly. But wouldn't it be amazing if you could take an exit ramp from any one of those roads to the road of your choosing? That is exactly what a switch does for network traffic. A switch is like a cloverleaf intersection -- each car can take an exit ramp to get to its destination without having to stop and wait for other traffic to go by.

A vital difference between a hub and a switch is that all the nodes connected to a hub share the bandwidth among themselves, while a device connected to a switch port has the full bandwidth all to itself. For example, if 10 nodes are communicating using a hub on a 10-Mbps network, then each node may only get a portion of the 10 Mbps if other nodes on the hub want to communicate as well. . But with a switch, each node could possibly communicate at the full 10 Mbps. Think about our road analogy. If all of the traffic is coming to a common intersection, then each car it has to share that intersection with every other car. But a cloverleaf allows all of the traffic to continue at full speed from one road to the next.

RepeaterIn Physically refers as HUBSatu contoh penggunaan repeater baik ialah pada LAN yang menggunakan Topologi Bintang melalui twisted pair cable. Had panjang yang dibenarkan ialah 100 meter. Repeater digunakan untuk membolehkan had jumlah panjang kabel pada rangkaian melebihi 100 meter

WHAT COMPONENTS MAKES UP A NETWORK?

RepeaterWhen a signal travels along a cable, it tends to lose strength. A repeater is a device that boosts a networks signal as it passes through. The repeater does this by electronically amplifying the signal.

RouterA Router is a special device which can be fitted to Connect and Route Local Area network To Larger Network ( WAN ). The Router Route data to pass between networks, it processes packets of data containing details of the sending and receiving computers. It will direct traffic on a suitable route to reach its destination.

File Server

A file server stands at the heart of most networks. It is a very fast computer with a large amount of RAM. The network operating system resides on this computer, along with any application and data files that need to be shared.

File ServerThe file server controls the communication of information between the nodes on a network Its main function is to store files being used by other computers, it allows them to access shared files. To stop nodes accessing the same file at the same time, a file server uses File Locking

Printer ServerThe purpose of a printer server is to accept print requests from nodes on the network and place them in a queue. There is a buffer area which can hold data from various nodes. As one print job is complete, the next job in the queue is processed. It is possible to set some computers to have priority over others.

Client

All the computers connected to a server on a network are called clients or workstations. A typical client is a computer that is configured with a NIC, client software and the appropriate cabling. Almost any computer can serve as a network client.

ModemA Modem or Modulator Demodulator allow Communication between computers located at Different sites. A Modem basically converts the square shaped binary signal emitted be the computer to the sine wave curve transmitted along a telephone line, and on arrival at the destination a similar device converts the signal back to binary.

modem

The word "modem" is a contraction of the words modulator-demodulator. A modem is typically used to send digital data over a phone line. The sending modem modulates the data into a signal that is compatible with the phone line, and the receiving modem demodulates the signal back into digital data. Wireless modems convert digital data into radio signals and back.

NICs, Repeaters, & Hubs

The first LAN

To connect two computers, you must Install a NIC card in each.

NIC

Attach computers using a crossover cable.

NICs, Repeaters, & Hubs

100 meters

Repeaters amplify and retime signals

so what can we use if this distance is greater than 100 meters?What s the maximum distance For Cat 5 cable?

NICs, Repeaters, & Hubs

Using repeaters was fine as long as a business only needed two computers networked. What if a business wanted a third computer attached? Or a fourth? What device would they need?

NICs, Repeaters, & HubsA multi-port repeater! A also called a

Hub

A Dilemma!As businesses expanded their networks, they began to cascade hubs.

Hub

Whats The Problem?

Hubs share bandwidth between all attached devices. Hubs are stupid, Layer 1 devices. They cannot filter traffic. Most LANs use a broadcast topology , so every device sees every packet sent down the media.

Let s take a look at how broadcasting works.

Broadcasts

In this picture, all hubs forward all traffic to all devices.

BroadcastsSo, if Host 1 wants ping Host 2, all hosts see the ping. This is what we mean by a broadcast topology

The red arrows show that all hosts receive the ping request. Only Host 2 will respond.

Whats The Solution?

We need a smarter hub! what s a smarter hub called? A Bridge! Bridges filter network traffic based on MAC addresses. Let s take a look at how this works.

Bridge

To lessen the amount of LAN traffic, businesses began to uses bridge to filter frames based on MAC addresses.

BridgeNow, if Host pings Host 2, only the hosts on that LAN segment see the ping. The bridges stop the ping.

1 2

SwitchA switch (also know as a multi-port bridge), can effectively replace these four bridges.

Switch

Another benefit of a switch is that each LAN segment gets dedicated bandwidth

10 Mbps

10 Mbps

10 Mbps

10 Mbps

10 Mbps

SwitchBut a switch cannot stop a ping destined for a different LAN segment from traveling to all other LAN segments.

Switch

For example, Host 1 pings Host 16. since Host 16 is on another LAN segment, the switch will flood the ping request out all ports.

What device will solve this problem?

Router

Routers filter traffic based on IP addresses. The IP address tells the router which LAN segment the ping belongs to.

Straight-through Cable

Maintain the pin connection al the way through the cable, thus the wire connected to pin 1 is the same on both ends of the cable. Wired to TIA/EIA 568-B or A standards for 1Base-T Ethernet, which determines what color wire is on each pin. T568B (also called AT&T specification) is more common, but many installations are also wired to T568A (also called ISDN). Conforms to the structured to be part of the be part to be part of the horizontal cabling, which is limited to 99m total between workstation and hub or switch.

Straight-Through Cable

Used to connect such as devices as PCs or routers to other devices such as hub or switches. Can be used in a workstation area to connect the workstation NIC to the wall plate data jack or it can be used in the wiring closet to connect the path panel (horizontal cross connect) to an Ethernet hub or switch. Are wired straight through because the cable from the workstation to the hub or switch is normally crossed over automatically at the switch or hub. The ports on most hubs have an X next to them, which means the send and receive pairs will be crossed when the cabling reaches the switch.

Crossover cable

Crossover Cable

Pairs 2 and 3 on one end of the cable will be reversed on the other end. Will be wired to EIA/TIA 568-B and A standards for 10Base-T Ethernet. Pin outs will be T568-A on one end andT568-B on the other. Used between hubs or switches and is considered to be part of the vertical cabling also known as backbone. Can be used as a backbone cable to connect two or more hubs or switches in a LAN or to connect two isolated workstations to create a mini-LAN. Allows the connection of two workstations or a server and workstation without needing a hub in between.

Rollover Cable

Can be used to connect a workstation or dumb terminal to the console port on the back of a router or Ethernet switch in order to be able to configure the router or switch. Uses an asynchronous serial interface to the router or switch. Both ends have RJ 45 connectors-one plugs directly into the RJ 45 console management port on the back of the router or switch and other end plugs into a RJ 45 to DB9 terminal adapter. The terminal adapter converts on the back of a PC running terminal emulation software.

Rollover Cable

Uses 8 pin but is different from a straight-through cable or crossover cable. Pin 1 on the one end connector pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6 and so on.

Fiber-optic Mode Types

Single Mode

Also called axial because light travels down the axis of the cable. Faster than multimode (up to 10 Gbps) because of the dispersion in multimode. Typically used for WANS. Smaller in diameter than multimode (less dispersion). Used ILD most often but also LED.

Multimode

Light enters the glass pipe at different angles and travels nanoxially, which means it because back and forth off the walls of the glass tube. Larger than single mode, used most often in LANS. Susceptible to greater dispersion.

Single mode and multi mode

Single : Light to travel in a straight line.

Multimode : Light to travel multiple paths.
