Network Layer Protocol Overview Module : TCP/IP Network Layer Protocol Overview
Objectives Name two protocols that operate at the network layer Identify three functions of the IP protocol Identify three functions of the ICMP protocol Identify a function of both ARP and RARP Identify the function of DHCP Identify three fields in an IP datagram Describe the function of the protocol field in an IP datagram Lesson Aim <Enter lesson aim here.>
Network Layer Application Transport Network Data Link Physical Internet Protocol (IP) Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Transport Lesson Aim <Enter lesson aim here.> Network Data Link Physical
IP Characteristics Packets are treated independently Packet delivery is not guaranteed Lesson Aim <Enter lesson aim here.> Lost or corrupted packets are not recovered
ICMP Application Transport Network Data Link Physical Lesson Aim <Enter lesson aim here.> Destination unreachable Echo (Ping) Other Network Data Link Physical
ARP IP: 172.16.3.2 = ??? IP: 172.16.3.2 = Ethernet: 0800.0200.1111 I need the MAC address of 172.16.3.2 I heard that broadcast. That is me. Here is my MAC address. Lesson Aim <Enter lesson aim here.> IP: 172.16.3.2 = ??? IP: 172.16.3.2 = Ethernet: 0800.0200.1111 Map IP Ethernet Local ARP
I heard that broadcast. Your IP address is 172.16.3.25 RARP I heard that broadcast. Your IP address is 172.16.3.25 What is my IP address? Lesson Aim <Enter lesson aim here.> Ethernet: 0800.0020.1111 IP: ???? Ethernet: 0800.0020.1111 IP: 172.16.3.25 Maps Ethernet IP
DHCP The DHCP server leases an address to the DHCP client. Client DHCP client broadcasts discover message Client DHCP client broadcasts offer message Server DHCP client responds with request message Client Lesson Aim <Enter lesson aim here.> DHCP server seals the deal with acknowledgement message Server Client The DHCP server leases an address to the DHCP client.

Summary The network layer provides a means for routing information from the source to a destination. IP is a standard that defines the manner in which the network layers of two hosts interact. ICMP is a protocol sent in response to errors in TCP/IP messages. ARP maps IP network addresses to the physical addresses.
Summary (Cont.) RARP maps physical addresses into IP addresses. DHCP automates the configuration of IP addresses on devices that use TCP/IP. IP transfers information through the network in the form of a datagram. IP uses a protocol number in the datagram header to identify which protocol to use for a particular datagram.
