Chapter 1
Upon completion of this chapter, you should be able to: Define & identify different types of networks Describe the advantages & disadvantages of network types Describe & identify topologies Identify the OSI model, why it’s used, and what happens at each layer Describe various protocols Compare and contrast TCP and UDP Convert binary to decimal to hexadecimal
1.1
What is a network? Group of interconnected devices able to share info with each other Networks consist of: Hosts/Nodes Connecting Media Network interface Protocols (standards)
Share peripherals Consolidate storage Group collaboration/communication File sharing, , social media, VoIP, websites
Hosts don’t have a specific role Can provide & consume network services
ADVANTAGESDISADVANTAGES Easy to implement Inexpensive to implement No special software to buy; use PC’s OS Easy to configure to share storage & printing Not scalable Bigger = difficult to manage Usually limited to 10 No centralized controls Decentralized storage Possible slower performance
Server Provides a resource/service, like or web pages server/web server Client Consumes network services Requests & displays info from a server PC with web browser to display pages from web server
ADVANTAGESDISADVANTAGES Very scalable Easy to support Centralized management Data protection Backup shared data on server More expensive! Advanced planning to setup

Over a small area
Connected networks Not owned by anyone Organizations maintain it & standards
What type of network uses each device to share files with other devices on the network? Peer to peer What type of network do you assign specific hosts a role such as file storage and other hosts just access those resources? Client-server What connects a client PC to the network’s medium? Network interface
1.2
Graphical layout of the network Two types: Physical topology Layout of how devices are physically connected Logical topology How devices communicate/data transmitted Shows IP addresses & groups
Bus/Broadcast Data sent to ALL devices connected to the cable Each device looks at the data to see if it is addressed to it or not Ring Data is passed from computer to computer Star Data sent only to destination device
Bus All connected to same cable, terminated at end Broken cable= no one communicates Ring Each device connected to each other
Has a central connecting device Most common
Each device connects to every other device Redundancy Used in backbone; not with PCs
Physical & logical topology ID handout
The physical layout of nodes on a network is known as the networks: Topology Which physical topology is most common today? Star How does data get passed in a logical ring topology? Sent from one device to the next How does data get passed in a logical bus topology? Sent to all devices in network
1.3
Before 1983, network devices were proprietary Had to buy all from same vendor or it wouldn’t work OSI model created standards to follow OSI model layers break down the communication process between devices
Layer #Layer NameDescription 7Application Provides network access to applications SMTP; HTTP; DHCP; FTP; Telnet 6PresentationTransforms data to a format 5SessionEstablishes, manages, terminates sessions 4Transport Reliable transport; flow control; retransmission; TCP; port numbers; segments 3NetworkRouting; Logical (IP) addressing; packet 2Data Link Physical (MAC) addressing; access to media frame 1PhysicalBits; electricity

1.4
Encoding Converting info for travel on media Ex: bits into electricity, light, radio waves Types of Signals: Digital (bits) 0 volts= 0 +5 volts= 1 Analog Doesn’t represent bits But can be converted…
Converting digital signal to analog Connect via phone line FM (Frequency Modulation) Varies the frequency (or hertz) AM (Amplitude Modulation) Adjusts the strength
Converting analog to digital Modem (modulate-demodulate) Baud- # time per second signal changes Bit Rate- # of bits per second
Analog signals over multiple frequencies Uses Multiplexing Mixing multiple signals over a cable’s bandwidth Usually outside of your network
Sends data in single channel using all bandwidth of the cable (one at a time) Uses Time-Division Multiplexing Each signal gets a specific time to send Ethernet is baseband Send/receive using all of the frequency
Quiz What is the process for converting digital signals for travel on media? Encoding What is the process of converting signals on media to digital? Decoding What process allows multiple signals to be mixed over a cable’s bandwidth? Multiplexing
1.5
What is a protocol? Set of rules for communication Protocol Suite Set of protocols that work together TCP/IP
Connection-oriented Sends acknowledgements Like tracking a FedEx delivery Breaks messages into small segments If sender doesn’t get an ACK of message received, it retransmits Only portion lost is resent On receiving host, TCP reassembles data FTP & HTTP are examples of protocols using TCP
Connectionless Used for faster transmissions Low overhead “Best effort delivery” Regular mail / no guarantee of delivery No ACK or retransmission No error checking* Used for streaming audio, video, VoIP DNS, DHCP, TFTP, VoIP, Gaming, SNMP are examples of protocols that use UDP
TCPUDP Guaranteed delivery Connection-oriented Acknowledgements Slower bc of establishing a connection & acknowledging , web, file transfer Best effort delivery Connectionless No acknowledgements Faster bc of no connection or acknowledgements Audio/video streams
ProtocolInformation HTTP Connection to transfer web pages- TCP HTTPS Secure connection for web pages transmission- TCP Security created by SSL or TSL FTP File transfer- TCP TFTP File transfer- UDP Telnet Remote login- TCP SSH Secure remote login- TCP POP3 Transfer of from server to you; then deleted IMAP Transfer of from server to you; kept on server SMTP Used to send between servers
ProtocolInformation SFTP & SCP Secure file transfer DHCP Automatically assign IP/SM/DG/DNS server addresses- UDP DNS Translates names to IP addresses- TCP/UDP NTP Allows devices to sync their clocks through network- TCP/UDP SNMP Create alerts to monitor the network- UDP ICMP Can detect other devices & verify connectivity- PING

Web server FTP server DNS server DHCP server Directory Services Directory of users on a network, resources, and access control SSH Server From client, you can connect remotely & securely to a device Review Review
What type of network has centralized resources, such as central file storage? Client-server What type of network shares resources located on local computer hard drives? Peer to peer You type into your web browser. A DNS request is created and then a we request is sent. What type of network is this? Client-server
Which protocol is used for web page transmission? HTTP You have a network of 100 devices. Which process will easily allow all computers to automatically be able to communicate on a network by assigning IP addresses? DHCP Which utility/protocol can test connectivity? Ping/ICMP Which protocol allows remote login, but is not secure? Telnet
