How would you say the PC named Bob communicates with the PC named Sally?

Internetworking Basics

6

Switches can replace the hub, breaking up collision domains.

Keep in mind that the hub used in the figure just extended the one collision domain from the switch port.

Internetworking Basics

7

Here’s a list of some of the things that commonly cause LAN traffic congestion:

•Too many hosts in a broadcast domain

•Broadcast storms

•Multicasting

•Low bandwidth

•Adding hubs for connectivity to the network

Routers create an internetwork.

Internetworking Basics

9

There are two advantages of using routers in your network:

•They don’t forward broadcasts by default.

•They can filter the network based on layer 3 (Network layer) information (e.g., IP address).

Four router functions in your network can be listed as follows:

•Packet switching

•Packet filtering

•Internetwork communication

•Path selection

Layered Models

The Layered Approach

• A reference model is a conceptual blueprint of how communications should take place.

• It addresses all the processes required for effective communication and divides these processes into logical groupings called layers.

• When a communication system is designed in this manner, it’s known as layered architecture.

12

The OSI Model

• The OSI isn’t a physical model. Rather, it’s a set of guidelines that application developers can use to create and implement applications that run on a network.

• It also provides a framework for creating and implementing networking standards, devices, and internetworking schemes.

Ethernet Networking

• Ethernet is a contention media access method that allows all hosts on a network to share the same bandwidth of a link.

• Ethernet is popular because it’s readily scalable, meaning that it’s comparatively easy to integrate new technologies, such as Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, into an existing network infrastructure.

• It’s also relatively simple to implement in the first place, and with it, troubleshooting is reasonably straightforward.

Half and Full Duplex

27

Half-duplex Ethernet is defined in the original 802.3 Ethernet; it uses only one wire pair with a digital signal running in both directions on the wire.

But full-duplex Ethernet uses two pairs of wires instead of one wire pair like half duplex. And full duplex uses a point-to-point connection between the transmitter of the transmitting device and the receiver of the receiving device.

Full-duplex Ethernet can be used in three situations:• With a connection from a switch to a host• With a connection from a switch to a switch• With a connection from a host to a host using a crossover cable

Ethernet Addressing

28

The MAC, or hardware, address is a 48-bit (6-byte) address written in a hexadecimal format.

Ethernet Cabling

29

Ethernet cabling is an important discussion.

Three types of Ethernet cables are available:

• Straight-through cable• Crossover cable• Rolled cable

We will look at each in the following sections.

Straight Through

30

The straight-through cable is used to connect• Host to switch or hub

• Router to switch or hub

Crossover Cable

31

The crossover cable can be used to connect• Switch to switch• Hub to hub• Host to host• Hub to switch• Router direct to host

Rolled Cable

32

Although rolled cable isn’t used to connect any Ethernet connections together, you can use a rolled Ethernet cable to

connect a host to a router console serial communication (com) port.

What type of cable is used?

33

What type of cable is used for each connection?

34

Data Encapsulation

When a host transmits data across a network to another device, the data

goes through encapsulation:• It is wrapped with protocol

information at each layer of the OSI model.

• Each layer communicates only with its peer layer on the receiving device.

35

PDU= Protocol Data Unit

36

FCS= Frame Check Sequence

Port Numbers

37

The Transport layer uses port numbers to define both the virtualcircuit and the upper-layer process.

Cisco’s Three-Layer Model

38

The following are the three layers and their typical functions:• The core layer: backbone• The distribution layer: routing• The access layer: switching
