  1. Networking Chapter 9

  2. Overview • In this chapter, you will learn to • Explain network technologies • Explain network operating systems • Install and configure wired networks • Install and configure wireless networks • Troubleshoot networks

  3. Networking Technologies

  4. Sneakernet • To share files used to require making copies to a floppy and running them over to someone else…sneakernet • A way needed to be devised for computers to share information and resources • A network is two or more computers connected together to share resources

  5. The Big Questions • How will each computer be identified? • If two or more computers want to talk at the same time, how do you ensure all conversations are understood? • What kind of wire should be used to connect the computers together? • How many wires in the cable? How thick? How long? What type of connectors? • How can access to data and peripherals be controlled? • And the list goes on and on…

  6. A Few Basics • A client machine requests information or services • Uses a network interface card (NIC) to define the client on the network and to physically make a connection • A medium to connect the devices is needed • Cable or wireless • The operating system needs to understand how to network • A server provides information or services to the client

  7. Packets, Frames, and NICs • Data is broken up into small pieces and moved about the network in chunks called packets or frames • Every network interface card (NIC) has a built-in identifier called a Media Access Control (MAC) address • No two NICs have the same MAC address anywhere in the world • Burned into a chip on the card

  8. MAC Address • Start  Programs Accesories System Tools System Information

  9. Packet Fields • Packets contain the following fields • MAC address of the network card that it is being sent to • MAC address of the network card that sent the packet • Data • Data check or cyclic redundancy check (CRC) used to verify the data’s integrity

  10. Protocols • Protocols are sets of rules • May be used to define packet types, cabling and connectors, addresses, and much more • A hardware protocol defines how to get data from one computer to another • Ethernet is the dominant standard for today’s networks • Coaxial • Unshielded twisted pair • Fiber optic • Token Ring was developed by IBM but is loosing popularity

  11. Coaxial Ethernet • Early Ethernet networks used coaxial cable (or just coax) • Composed of a center cable surrounded by insulation, a shield of braided cable, and an outside protective cover • A different type of coaxial cable is used by your VCR and TV

  12. Thick Ethernet – 10Base5 • Thick Ethernet cable (Thicknet) is used in the 10Base5 Ethernet specification • Called RG-8 (Radio Grade) cable • 10Base5 • 10 means that data is transferred at 10 Mbps • Base refers to baseband signaling • 5 means the maximum length of the cable is 500 meters • Uses a bus topology where all devices attach to a single cable • Computers are connected one to another • Every computer receives every packet of information

  13. CSMA/CD • Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) is a method used by computers to share the same cable • If two computers talk (try to send data) at the same time, a collision results that corrupts the data

  14. CSMA/CD • To prevent collisions when there is multiple access to a cable, computers first do a carrier sense (listen to the cable for traffic) before trying to send data

  15. CSMA/CD • Even though the computers listen before sending data, it is possible that two computers listened at about the same time, heard nothing, and then sent data – resulting in a collision • Computer NICs have collision detection circuitry that alerts them to a collision

  16. Reflection and Termination • Signals traveling along a wire will bounce back when they get to the end – called reflection • As a result a terminator is installed on the ends of the cable to absorb the signal to prevent it from reflecting back – which would corrupt the signal

  17. Connections • Thicknet cable is marked every 2.5 meters • Devices are connected only at these marks by using a vampire connector that pierces the cable to make a connection • It is also a transceiver that transmits and receives data, sometimes called an access unit interface (AUI) that connects to a Digital, Intel, Xerox (DIX) connector • Thicknet uses a bus topology • If there’s a break in the cable, the whole network goes down

  18. Thicknet Connections

  19. Thin Ethernet – 10Base2 • Thin Ethernet is also known as Thinnet • Uses RG-58 coax cable • Limited to 30 devices per segment • Cable length limited to 185 meters • Thinner and cheaper than Thicknet • Transceiver is built into the network card • Uses twist-on BNC connectors • Uses terminators

  20. UTP Ethernet – 10BaseT • Modern networks use UTP Ethernet • Modern networks do not use Thicknet or Thinnet • 10BaseT runs at 10 Mbps • 100BaseT runs at 100 Mbps • 1000BaseT (Gigabit) runs at 1000 Mbps • Use a star bus topology • Uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling

  21. Star Bus Topology • Most common topology used is a star bus • In a star topology all devices are connected to a central device called a hub • Multiple hubs are connected together in a bus topology • Together they form a star bus topology • Hubs have been replaced by switches that conserve bandwidth

  22. Unshielded Twisted Pair • UTP is the predominant type of cabling used today • Pairs of wires are twisted together in an unshielded cable • UTP cables come in categories (CATs) that define the maximum speed at which data can be transferred (called bandwidth) • CAT5, CAT5e, and CAT6 are most common today

  23. Implementing 10*BaseT • Requires at least two pairs of wires – one for receiving and one for sending • Cables use special RJ-45 connectors • The Telecommunications Industry Assciation/ Electronics Industries Alliance (TIA/EIA) has two standards for connecting the RJ-45 connectors • TIA/EIA 568A and TIA/EIA 568B • Use either – just be consistent • Wires are color-coded

  24. Combo Cards • All Ethernet networks share the same language • Many NICs will run at either 10 or 100 Mbps • Some NICs have both BNC and RJ-45 ports

  25. Hubs and Switches • Each PC is connected to a hub or switch in a 10*BaseT network • To add a device, just run another cable to the hub or switch from the device • The maximum separation between the device and the hub or switch is 100 meters • Hubs act as a repeater that regenerates the signal before it sends it back out other ports • Hubs come in 4, 8, 16, or 24 ports

  26. Duplex and Half-Duplex • Modern NICs can both send and receive data at the same time – called full duplex • Older NICs could send and receive data but not at the same time – called half duplex • NICs and switches use autosensing to decide how to operate

  27. Fiber Optic Ethernet • Fiber optic cable uses light instead of electricity • Immune to electrical interference • Signals can travel up to 2,000 meters • Most Ethernet uses 62.5/125 multimode cable • Uses two cables • Uses SC (square-shaped) or ST (round) connectors • Common standards are 10BaseFL and 100BaseFX • Usually reserved for the backbone due to its expense

  28. Token Ring • Developed by IBM • Uses a star ring topology • Incompatible with Ethernet • Data travels in a ring • Uses token passing • A free token circulates the ring • A device may send data only when it has the token

  29. Implementing Token Ring • Legacy Token Ring ran at 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps using IBM Type 1 cable • Two-pair, shielded twisted pair (STP) cable • Today’s Token Ring networks may use UTP or STP • STP comes in various types • Token Ring cables use an IBM-type Data Connector (IDC) or Universal Data Connector (UDC) designed to plug into each other • Uses a special hub called a multistation access unit (MSAU or MAU)

  30. Parallel/Serial Connections • All versions of Windows have software that allows two (and only two) PCs to connect together via their parallel or serial ports • Use a crossover IEEE 1284 cable for parallel ports • Use an RS-232 cable for serial ports

  31. Network Operating System

  32. Client/Server • In a client/server environment one machine is dedicated as a resource to be shared over the network • Uses a special Network Operating System (NOS) • Optimized for sharing files and printers or other resources • Protects access to the data or resources using security features • Called the server • All other machines are clients or workstations • Novell NetWare is an enterprise level NOS

  33. Peer-to-Peer • In a peer-to-peer network all machines on the network may act as a client or server • Peer-to-peer network operating systems include • Windows 98/Me • Windows 2000/XP • Limited to 10 users accessing a file at one time • Useful for small networks only • Lacks security • Users are part of workgroups

  34. Peer-to-Peer

  35. Domain-Based • In a peer-to-peer network you must log in to each server you wish to access • In a domain-based network you log into the network just once to access resources throughout the network • Servers on the network may play one or several roles • Domain Controller (holds the security database) • File server • Print server • Fax server • Remote Access Services (RAS) server • Application server • Web server

  36. Domain Controllers • Domain Controllers keep the security database of users and passwords • Directory services are used to store user names and passwords • In Windows 2000 and 2003 server, it is called Active Directory • In Novell NetWare it is called NetWare Directory Services (NDS)

  37. Administrative Tools Administrative Tools in Windows XP Professional Administrative Tools in Windows 2000 Server

  38. Administrator Account • The administrator account is a special user account that has complete and absolute power over the entire system • Joining a workgroup or becoming part of a domain is relatively easy in any version of Windows

  39. Joining a Workgroup or Domain in Windows 98

  40. Protocols • Network protocol software • Takes the incoming data received by the network card • Keeps it organized • Sends it to the application that needs it • Takes outgoing data from the application and hands it over to the NIC to be sent out over the network • The most common protocols used are • NetBEUI • IPX/SPX • TCP/IP • AppleTalk

  41. NetBEUI • NetBIOS Extended User Interface (NetBEUI) • Small size • High speed • Not routable • Limited to small networks

  42. IPX/SPX • Internetwork Packet Exchange/ Sequenced Packet Exchange (IPX/SPX) • Developed by Novell • Routable • NWLink is Microsoft’s version

  43. TCP/IP • Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) • Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense • Used in networks of all sizes • Used on the Internet

  44. AppleTalk • AppleTalk is a proprietary protocol developed by Apple • Used to communicate with older Apple Computers • Apple’s Macintosh OS X supports TCP/IP

  45. Client software Needed to access data and resources on a network Windows installs Client for Microsoft Networks Server software Any Windows PC may be turned into a server by enabling sharing of files, folders, and printers Client and Server Software

  46. Installing and Configuring a Wired Network

  47. Network Connectivity • To connect to a network you need • Network Interface Card • Physical hardware that connects the PC to the network wire • Protocol • The language the devices will use to communicate • Network Client • Allows the computer system to speak to the protocol • In addition, if you would like share your files or printer, you need to enable Microsoft’s File and Print Sharing

  48. Installing a NIC • When choosing a NIC there are three requirements • Must run at the proper speed (many NICs run at more than one speed) • Must be for the proper technology • Ethernet, Token Ring, Fiber optic (FDDI) • Must fit into your expansion slot • ISA, PCI • If your NIC does not autoinstall, then use the Add Hardware wizard in Control Panel

  49. Configuring a Network Client • You need a network client for each type of server NOS • Client for Microsoft Networks • Alt-click My Network Places (or Network Neighborhood) and choose Properties • Double-click the Local Area Connection icon (or choose to Create a New Network Connection) and choose Properties • Client for Microsoft Networks is automatically installed when you install a NIC in Windows • Client Service for NetWare • Provides access to file and print services on NetWare servers
