  5. Before Networks… • Under-utilized Resources • Duplicate Devices • Duplicate Data • Expensive

  6. Network Definition • Two or More Computers Connected by a Communication Media • Allows Information and Resources to be Shared by Network Users

  7. Network Types…WAN • WAN – Wide Area Network • Computer Network that Spans Large Geographic Area • Typically Uses Common-Carrier Lines or Satellites for Connections • TheInternet is the Largest WAN • See fairly recent Internet World-Wide Connections, click here.

  8. Network Types…LAN • LAN – Local Area Network Internet • Network devices are within a small geographic area such as office building, school or home • Typically does NOT utilize Common Carrier lines. • May include one or more LANs Firewall Router Hub/Switch

  9. Network Types…WLAN • Wireless Local Area Network • Radio Frequency (RF) Technology Used to Transmit and Receive Data Over Airways • No Physical Media Required for Connection to LAN • May Require Security Password for Connection Click within image to Start or Pause Animation

  10. Network Types…MAN • MAN – Metropolitan Area Network Internet • Network that expands a larger geographic area than LAN, such as a city or campus, and smaller geographic area than WAN • Likely does utilize some Common Carrier lines. • Includes one or more LANs Router Building 2 Router Building 1 Router Building 3 Router Building 4

  11. Network Types…PAN • PAN – Personal Area Network • Interconnection of devices such as laptops, smart phones, PDAs, portable printers, that are in very close proximity (10-15 meters) of person. • Can include both wired and wireless devices. • Home network could be considered a PAN

  12. Network Types…Peer-to-Peer • Peer-to-Peer Network • All Computers on Network are Equal • Peers share resources Equally • Files • Applications • Printers • Disk Storage • No Dedicated Servers • No Administrator Required • Easy to Set Up • Less Expensive than Client-Server Model Workstations Hub

  13. Network Types…Client-Server • Client-Server Network • One or many Dedicated Servers for: • Files • Applications • E-mail • Web Services • DHCP Server • Print • One or many clients that: • Run Applications • Access Services of Server • More Expensive than Peer-to-Peer Network • More Secure than Peer-to-Peer Workstations Hub Server

  14. Network Types…SAN • SAN – Storage Area Network Disk Volumes • Network of Storage Devices. • Accessible by any computer on the network • Storage devices appear to be locally attached to requesting devices. Virtual Server Host Virtual Server Host Storage Area Network Disk Arrays Storage Server

  17. LAN Network Topologies • Topology: Physical Layout of Network • Most Popular Topologies • BUS • Network Devices are Connected to Single Cable • Physical Layout– Line • STAR • Network Devices Connect to Central Hub/Switch • Physical Layout– Star • RING • Network Devices Connect to Central Hub/Multi-Station Access Unit • Physical Layout – Star • Logical Layout – Ring • MESH • Each Network Device Connected to Every Other Device in Network • There are Other Topologies and Combinations of the Above

  18. LAN Topologies…BUS • Original Network Topology Used in 1980s • Devices are Attached to One Cable • If a Device Crashes, all Devices on Cable are Inoperable • BUS Topology is Seldom Used Today

  19. LAN Topologies…Ring • Logical layout is a Ring • Physical layout is actually a Star due to Hub or Multi-station Access Unit that Connects Network Devices • Ring Topology is Seldom Used Today

  20. LAN Topologies…Star • Star – Physical Layout Looks Like a Star • Central Hub/Switch Connects Network Devices • Most Prevalent LAN Topology Used Today

  21. LAN Topologies…Mesh • Mesh– Each Device in Network is Connected to Every Other Device in Network • Only Used for Small Networks

  22. LAN Access Methods • Defines How a Network Device Can Access a Shared Network to Transmit Data. • Primary Access Methods are: • CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection) • Token Passing

  23. LAN Access Methods…CSMA/CD • Also called Ethernet • Most Prevalent LAN Access Method • Network Node Listens to cable for carrier tone and transmits data when no other devices are transmitting. • Message is broadcast to all devices on network • Message is received by device with destination address. • If two or more devices sense an idle network and attempt to transmit at same time, a collision will occur. • Each device stops transmission • Each device waits a period of time to re-transmit

  28. Protocol • Set of rules or standards by which computers communicate over a network. • Two computers must be using the same protocol for communication to happen • Like a language; to communicate, two people need to be speaking the same language • Network media supports multiple protocols at the same time • Each protocol specifies how a message is to be formatted.

  29. Common Network Protocols • TCP/IP protocol suite • TCP – Transmission Control Protocol • Used by most Internet applications • Provides reliable transfer of messages from one computer program to another computer program • IPv4– Internet Protocol Version 4. • Allows dissimilar Internet hosts to connect to each other • Specifies how packets are formatted & routed • Specifies addressing format • Supports 32-bit IP addresses (232 or 4,294,967,296 Internet addresses)

  30. Common Network Protocols • IPv6 – Internet Protocol Version 6 • Supports 128-bit Internet addresses (2128 ) • Needed because of IPv4 number of address limitation. • ARP – Address Resolution Protocol • Used to convert IP addresses into Data Link Control (DLC) or Media Access Control (MAC) addresses. • HTTP – HyperText Transfer Protocol • Primary protocol used for display of Web pages • HTTPS -- Secure version of HTTP • HTML – HyperText Markup Language • Used to format Web pages

  31. Common Network Protocols • FTP – File Transfer Protocol • Used to transfer or copy file(s) from one computer to another computer. • DNS– Domain Name System • Responsible for converting IP addresses into a meaningful name that humans can better understand • www.pcc.edu = 209.152.46.213 • DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol • Automatically assigns IP addresses to network computers via DHCP server

  32. Common Network Protocols • POP3 – Post Office Protocol Version 3 • Protocol used to retrieve user’s e-mail from a remote e-mail server • IMAP – Internet Message Access Protocol • Other protocol used to retrieve e-mail messages from a remote e-mail server • SMTP– Simple Mail Transfer Protocol • Used for sending e-mail messages from a computer Click here for a more complete list of network protocols.

  37. Networking Devices…Modem con’t. • Modems • Used in home and small business networks for broadband connection • Large business networks typically connect to Internet through direct-connect or leased lines and router. • Modem connects directly to DSL line or Cable Network Internet Router Modem Home Network Provider’s Connection

  38. Networking Devices…Hub • Device for Connecting Multiple Network Devices Together in One LAN • Hubs work at Layer 1 (physical) of the OSI Model • Do NOT support Sophisticated Networking • Do NOT Read Data Passing Through Them • Receives Packets and Broadcasts to ALL Devices connected to Hub • Only routes data that uses protocol that hub is programmed for • Hubs Usually have 4 or 8 ports

  39. Networking Devices…Hub con’t. • Passive Hub • Do Not Amplify Signal of Incoming Packets Before Broadcasting to Devices Connected to Hub • Dumbest of the Hub Types • Active Hub • DO Amplify Incoming Signals Before Broadcasting to Devices Connected to Hub • Can also be called a Concentrator or Multiport Repeater • Intelligent Hub • Usually Stackable • Includes Input and Output Ports so Hubs can be Connected Together • Supports More Devices on the Network • Usually Includes Remote Management Support of VLANs and SNMP • May also Support Bridging, Routing and Switching • Hubs work at Layer 1 of the OSI Model • Devices are Typically Connected via Cat5/6 Cables with RJ45 Connectors • Do NOT support Sophisticated Networking • Do NOT Read Data Passing Through Them • Receives Packets and Broadcasts to ALL Devices on Network
