  1. Chapter 10 The Client Side of Networking McGraw-Hill

  2. Learning Outcomes • Configure a client for a TCP/IP network • Connect to the Internet • Work with basic Internet clients • Configure File and Print clients • Troubleshoot common network client problems

  3. Configuring a Client for a TCP/IP Network • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (cont.) • TCP/IP is a suite of protocols that work together to allow similar and dissimilar systems to communicate • The protocol suite of the Internet and many private networks

  4. Configuring a Client for a TCP/IP Network • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (cont.) • The two core protocols are Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) • TCP/IP protocol automatically installs in Windows when a network card is present

  5. Configuring a Client for a TCP/IP Network • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (cont.) • Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) • Responsible for the accurate delivery of messages • Verifies and resends pieces that fail to reach the destination • TCP has several sub-protocols

  6. Configuring a Client for a TCP/IP Network • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (cont.) • Internet Protocol (IP) • Packages communications in chunks, called packets • Allows a computer to be identified by a logical address, called an IP address • IP has several sub-protocols • IP addresses are very important • A computer cannot communicate on a TCP/IP network without a valid IP address

  7. Configuring a Client for a TCP/IP Network • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (cont.) • IP Addressing Fundamentals • An IP address is assigned to a network adapter • When a modem and LAN adapter are present, each connects a computer to a different network • A desktop computer usually has only a single network device connecting it to a specific network, so that is the only address by which the computer is known on that network • IP address identifies the host and network to which the host connects

  12. Configuring a Client for a TCP/IP Network • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (cont.) • IP Addressing Fundamentals (cont.) • Router is at the connecting point between network • Uses routing protocols • Sends each packet to the next router toward destination • Each computer that directly connects to the Internet must have a globally unique IP address • Two versions: IPv4 and IPv6

  13. Configuring a Client for a TCP/IP Network • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (cont.) • IP Addressing Fundamentals (cont.) • Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) • In use for three decades • 32-bit addressing (232) • 4.3 billion possible IP addresses • Allocation methods have reduced the usable number

  14. Configuring a Client for a TCP/IP Network • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (cont.) • IP Addressing Fundamentals (cont.) • Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) (cont.) • IPv4 address has four parts in dotted-decimal format • Example: 192.168.1.134 • Each number is within 0 to 255 • Rules determine how these numbers are used • Last IPv4 block assigned on February 1, 2011

  15. Configuring a Client for a TCP/IP Network • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (cont.) • IP Addressing Fundamentals (cont.) • IPv6 Addresses • Internet transitioning to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) • New addressing scheme with many more addresses • Manufacturers and standards organizations preparing • 128-bit addressing (2128) • Eight groups of hexadecimal numbers separated by colons

  16. Configuring a Client for a TCP/IP Network • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (cont.) • Which addresses can you use? • Public Addresses • Assigned to hosts on the Internet • A host is a device that has an IP address • Source address must be unique on the entire Internet • Destination address must be unique on the entire Internet • Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) • Private Addresses (examples are IPv4)

  17. Table 10-1 IPv4 Private IP Address Ranges

  18. Configuring a Client for a TCP/IP Network • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (cont.) • Which addresses can you use? (cont.) • Private Addresses (examples are IPv4) (cont.) • Not to be used on the Internet, but in only private IP networks • No permissions required • A network device substitutes a private IP address to a unique Internet IP address on outgoing packets • Incoming packets must be given the correct private address

  19. Configuring a Client for a TCP/IP Network • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (cont.) • How Does a Host Get an IP Address? • Static address assignment • Automatic Address Assignment (DHCP and APIPA) • Most organizations do Automatic IP addressing via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server • If no DHCP server responds, a Microsoft DHCP client will self-assign via Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)

  20. Configuring a Client for a TCP/IP Network • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (cont.) • IP Configuration Settings • IP Address of network card • Subnet Mask • Default Gateway • DNS Servers
