Summary
• There are three basic physical LAN topologies: bus, star, and ring
• These topologies, or layouts, typically involve cable, such as UTP, STP, coaxial, or fiber
• The network architecture used on a LAN defines the physical topology, the media used, and the network access method
• The most popular architectures are 10BaseT, 100baseTx and Token Ring
• The IEEE has defined many standards that have influenced the way networks are designed and implemented
![Page 59: Topology and Design](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020716/5481c9cfb4af9f52498b4604/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Summary (continued)
• It has also defined different network access methods, which include CSMA/CD, token-passing, and CSMA/CA
• One of the largest contributions from the IEEE is the 802 standard, which has subsets that define Ethernet (802.3),Token Ring (802.5), and wireless (802.11) network architectures
• The 802.2 standard from the IEEE subdivided the OSI Data Link layer into two parts to make functional distinctions between the Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer and the Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer
• Ethernet is also known by its access method, CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection)
![Page 60: Topology and Design](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020716/5481c9cfb4af9f52498b4604/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Summary (continued)
• Token Ring uses an entirely different access method that is governed by token passing
• The token, a small data frame, is passed from station to station around the ring, and a station can transmit only when it has the token
• FDDI uses token-passing like Token Ring networks, but it is not subject to the same limitations
• CSMA/CA is a network access method specified by the wireless LAN standard—802.11
• This standard supports spread spectrum and infrared technologies for use on wireless LANs
![Page 61: Topology and Design](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020716/5481c9cfb4af9f52498b4604/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Summary (continued)
• CSMA/CA nodes listen before sending but determine when to send based on a random backoff factor
• Before transmitting, CSMA/CA nodes send a notification that they are going to transmit
• Installing media on a network is a multifaceted project
• The layout of the network should be determined and documented
• The number of wiring closets necessary, as well as their locations, must be determined
![Page 62: Topology and Design](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020716/5481c9cfb4af9f52498b4604/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Summary (continued)
• Standards for wiring closets, cable runs, distances, and cable must be considered when the routes are established
• Obstructions and EMI/RFI must be overcome• After you install cable, you should test it for wiring,
performance, and configuration problems• Cable testers can be used to determine if cables are
wired correctly, if they meet length standards, and if they have attenuation or noise problems
• When implementing a network, you can choose one of three hierarchical network models: one-layer, two-layer, or three-layer
![Page 63: Topology and Design](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020716/5481c9cfb4af9f52498b4604/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Summary (continued)
• The one-layer network model is the least complex, and is a flat structure where all components function at essentially the same level
• The two-layer model separates the WAN from the rest of the internal network, which is usually done by adding routers with packet filters
• In the three-layer model, the internal LANs are further divided by backbone cabling, which has additional routers with packet filters
• In this model, the WAN connection is called the core layer, the backbone cabling and routers form the distribution layer, and the individual LANs function at the access layer
![Page 64: Topology and Design](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020716/5481c9cfb4af9f52498b4604/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Summary (continued)
• Network administrators use network monitors and network analyzers to manage a network on a daily basis
• These tools can also be used to troubleshoot abnormal situations
• The main difference between a network monitor and network analyzer is the level of service provided
• The network analyzer typically offers more advanced features, such as SNMP querying, remote administration, and even automatic problem correction
