5. Your Tutor Is… Mr. Saroj Lamichhane

6. Module aims The module aims:  To gain an understanding of the operational structure of a network and its components in relation to OSI layer.  To appreciate the concept of LAN and WAN design and various devices with respect to the OSI model.  To gain an in-depth understanding of routing, routing protocols and the need for appropriate configuration.  To gain experience in configuring routers and IP addresses for a given specification

7. Module outcomes after successful completion You will be able to: Describe the functionality of Local Area Networks (LANs) and its devices Explain the functional behaviour of each device in a network and its role in the functionality of a network. Describe TCP/IP suite of protocols and learn how to configure IP addresses

8. Module outcomes after successful completion… Student will be able to: Explain the flow of traffic on a LAN using the Ethernet/802.3 standards. Describe the overall purpose of Wide Area Networks (WANs). Describe when, why and how to configure a router. Identify network software management tools and their functions.

12. OSI reference model Seven layers open system interconnection(OSI) reference model developed by ISO. Proposed in 1978. Accepted in 1984.

13. OSI reference model… Why Layering?? Defines and separates networking hardware and software into distinct layers and functions Enables programmers to specialize in a particular level or layer of the networking model Provides design modularity. Encourages interoperability Allows for standardized interfaces to be produced by networking vendors

14. OSI reference model… Layering 7. Application layer 6. Presentation layer 5. Session layer 4.Transport layer 3.Network Layer 2.Data Link layer 1.Physical layer

15. OSI reference model…

16. Reference Models The TCP/I The TCP/IP reference model P reference model

17. OSI reference model… Encapsulation / Decapsulation:

18. OSI reference model… How encapsulation is done??

19. OSI reference model… How decapsulation is done??

20. Summary of the OSI reference Model

21. Network Devices Why Network Devices?? Separating or connecting or expanding the networks. Example:- repeaters, hubs, bridges, routers, switches, gateways

22. Network Devices Why Network Devices?? Separating or connecting or expanding the networks. Networks cannot be made larger by simply adding new computers and more cables If we do so….the networks will be less efficient Segmenting or dividing the larger LANs to form the smaller LANs and connecting them.

23. Network Devices… Required Components of LAN devices: Repeaters and Hubs bridges routers switches gateways

24. Network Devices… Repeaters and Hubs: Repeaters or hubs work at the OSI physical layer to regenerate the network’s signal and resend them to other segments Primitive hub can be viewed as a multiport repeater It regenerates data and broadcasts them to all ports

25. Network Devices… Limitations and features of Repeaters and Hubs: Have only one collision domain Do not isolate and filter packets Can connect different types of media The most economic way of expanding networks

26. Network Devices… Bridges: Has one input and one output Used to isolate network traffic and computers Has the intelligent to examine incoming packet source and destination addresses

27. Network Devices… Differences Between Bridges and Repeaters

28. Network Devices… Switches: Switches operate at the Data Link layer 2 of the OSI model Can interpret address information Switches resemble bridges and can be considered as multiport bridges having multiports, can better use limited bandwidth and prove more cost-effective than bridge

29. Network Devices… Switches… Switches divide a network into several isolated channels Packets sending from 1 channel will not go to another if not specify Each channel has its own capacity and need not be shared with other channels

30. Network Devices… Switches… 10Mbps 3.3 Mbps Hub Switch

31. Network Devices… Routers: Layer 2 Switches cannot take advantage of multiple paths Routers work at the OSI layer 3 (network layer) They use the “logical address” of packets and routing tables to determine the best path for data delivery

32. Network Devices…

33. Network devices… Distinguish between switch/bridge and router Bridges forward everything they don’t recognize Routers select the best path Routers are layer 3 devices which recognize network address Bridges are layer 2 devices which look at the MAC sublayer node address

34. Summary Repeaters are the least expensive way to expand a network, but they are limited to connecting two segments Bridges function similar to repeaters, but can understand the node addresses Switches can be considered as multiport bridges, can divide a network into some logical channels Routers interconnect networks and provide filtering functions. They can determine the best route
