Chapter Overview • Ethernet • FDDI • Wireless Networking
MAC address • On the card- supposed to be fixed • I/G – individual or global (broadcast) • G/L – global or local address
Ethernet Standards • Ethernet is the most popular local area network (LAN) protocol operating at the data-link layer. • There are two sets of Ethernet standards: • DIX Ethernet • Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.3
DIX Ethernet Standards • DIX Ethernet. Also known as thick Ethernet, ThickNet, or 10Base5 • DIX Ethernet II. Retains 10Base5 and adds 10Base2 (thin Ethernet)
IEEE 802.3 Standards • IEEE 802.3. 10Base5, 10Base2, and 10Base-T • IEEE 802.3u. Fast Ethernet • IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.3ab. Gigabit Ethernet • A lot more lately – ready wikipedia for a recent list, the latest is to define 100 Gbit/s, many utilizes all four pairs of wire.
DIX Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 Components • Physical layer specifications • Frame format • CSMA/CD MAC mechanism
Coaxial Ethernet Standards • 10Base5 (thick Ethernet) • 10Base2 (thin Ethernet)
Coaxial Network Characteristics • Runs at 10 Mbps • Uses the bus topology • Uses mixing segments
UTP Network Characteristics • Runs at various speeds up to 10Gbps • Uses the star topology • Requires a hub/Switch • Uses link segments
Fiber Optic Ethernet • Fiber Optic Inter-Repeater Link (FOIRL) • IEEE 802.3 fiber optic standards: • 10Base-FL • 10Base-FB • 10Base-FP • 100Base-FX • Gigabit Ethernet standards • 10 GbEthernet standards
The 5-4-3 Rule • A standard network can have no more than FIVE segments, connected by FOUR repeaters, of which no more than THREE segments can be mixing segments.
Media Access Control (MAC) • Is the mechanism that enables multiple computers to use the same network medium without conflicting
Collisions • Collisions are also called signal quality errors. • They are normal on Ethernet networks. • The frequency of collisions increases as network traffic increases. • Late collisions are a sign of a serious problem. • Collision domain – a segment of network that can may collide with each other. It is different from a broadcasting domain
The difference between hub and switch • Hub broadcast • Switch is one to one, still support broadcast, CSMA/CD still is necessary • Hub is, mostly, at the physical layer • Switch is at the Data-Link layer
Channel Bonding • Using of multiple connections to have fault tolerance and performance gain
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) Characteristics • First commercial 100-Mbps fiber optic protocol • Uses the token passing MAC mechanism • Supports both singlemode and multimode cable
FDDI Topologies • Double ring • Logical ring • Dual ring of trees
IEEE 802.11 Standards • IEEE 802.11a. Speeds of 1 to 2 Mbps • IEEE 802.11b. Speeds of 5.5 to 11 Mbps • IEEE 802.11g. Speeds up to 54 Mbps • IEEE 802.11n. Speeds up to 150 Mbps • IEEE 802.11ac up Gbps • IEEE 802.11ad 7Gbps
IEEE 802.11 Topologies • Ad hoc. Wireless computers communicating with each other • Infrastructure. Wireless computers using an access point to communicate with a cabled network • What is the latest? -- 802.11ad
