Ethernet in the campus
• Ethernet was first implemented by the Digital,
Intel, and Xerox group, referred to as DIX
• Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) 802.3 specification
• The IEEE extended 802.3 to three new
committees known as 802.3u (Fast Ethernet),
802.3z (Gigabit Ethernet over Fiber), and 802.3ab
(Gigabit Ethernet over UTP)

Ethernet in various usage
• An Ethernet speed of 10 Mbps can be used at the user
level to provide good performance Clients or servers that
require more bandwidth can use 100-Mbps Ethernet
• Fast Ethernet is used as the link between user and
network devices It can support the combination of all
traffic from each Ethernet segment
• To enhance client-server performance across the campus
network and avoid bottlenecks, Fast Ethernet can be used
to connect enterprise servers
• Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet , as affordable, should
be implemented between backbone devices
NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
Ethernet media and connector requirements
• Ethernet implementations are derived from the
Electronic Industries Association and the
Telecommunications Industry Association
(EIA/TIA)
• The categories of cabling defined for Ethernet are
derived from the EIA/TIA-568

A repeater receives a signal, regeneratesit, and passesit on
It can regenerate and retimenetwork signals at the bit level to allow them to
travel a longer distance on the media
The Four Repeater Rule for 10-Mbps Ethernet should be used as a standard
when extending LAN segments
5-4-3-2-1rule states that no more than four repeaters can be used between
hosts on a LAN
Repeater
NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
•Multi-port repeaters
•Most commonly used in Ethernet 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T networks
•There arePassive, Active, Intelligenthubs
•The more devices there are attached to the hub, the more likely there will be
collisions Every device connected to the same network segment is said to
be a member of a collision domain
Hub
Trang 8NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
Passive– A passive hub serves as a physical connection point only It does not
manipulate or view the traffic that crosses it It does not boost or clean the signal, so
the passive hub does not need electrical power
Active– An active hub must be plugged into an electrical outlet because it needs
power to amplify the incoming signal before passing it out to the other ports
Intelligent– These devices basically function as active hubs, but also include a
microprocessor chip and diagnostic capabilities
Hub
NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
•Wireless signals are electromagnetic waves that travel through the air
•Wireless networks use Radio Frequency (RF), laser, infrared (IR), or
satellite/microwaves to carry signals
•The two most common wireless technologies used for networking are IR and RF
•Two approaches currently being used to implement spread spectrum for WLAN
transmissions are Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) and Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
Wireless
Trang 9NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
• Break up a large LAN into smaller, more easily managed segments, decreases
the amount of traffic on a single LAN ( switches, routers, and gateways also can
do)
1 Destination is samesegment = don’t forward
2 Destination is on differentsegment = forward
3 Destination is unknown= forward to all segmentexcept the onethat received it
Bridge
NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
• Multi-port bridge
• Similarity to bridge but a switch choosesthe port to which the destination device or workstation is connected
• Switch : improve network performance by improving speed and bandwidth, alleviates congestion, replacing hubs with existing cable infrastructures
Switch
Trang 10NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
Switch functions & benefits
• Switching data frames is the process by which a frame is received on an input medium and then transmitted to an output medium Maintenance
of switching operations
where switches build and maintain switching tables and search for loops
• operate at much higher speeds than bridges and can support new functionality, such as virtual LANs
• parallel in communication:
use of virtual circuits (in a virtually collision-free environment )
NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
• To connect a host device to the network medium
• NICs are considered Layer 2 devicesbecause each NIC carries a unique
code called a MACaddress
• Consideration: expansion slot, network media/connector (may included
transceiver)
NIC, Host connectivity
Trang 11NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
• Networked computers take on different roles or functions in relation to each other
• Individual users control their own resourcesusers may decide to share certain files with other users, no central point of control or administration in the network
• Relatively easy to install and operate
• Doesn’t scale up well (less than 10 computers)
Peer-to-peer Network
NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
• Network services are located on a dedicated computercalled a server
• Before a client can access the server resources, the client must be identified and be authorizedto use the resource
• Concentration of network resourcessuch as files, printers, and applications
on servers also makes the data generated easier to back-up and maintain

External CSU/DSU
• For digital lines, a channel service unit (CSU)and a data service
unit (DSU)are required
– We won’t go into the differences here
• The two are often combined into a single piece of equipment, called
the CSU/DSU

NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
WAN serial connections
• WANs use serial transmission
• Normally the router will be
a data terminal equipment (DTE) and use a DTE serial cable A device that provides signal clocking such as a channel/data service unit (CSU/DSU) will connect to it
Trang 14NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
Router & serial connections
• Router connects WANs and LANs
• Router serial cable is DTE but maybe DCE if need to configure back-to-back
• Interfaces on routers with fixed serial portsare labeled for port type and port number, e.g S0, S1, E0, F0
• Interfaces on routers with modular serial portsare labeled for port type, slot, and port number, e.g
s0/1, fa0/0

Router & console connection
• The console portallows monitoring and configuration of a Cisco hub, switch,
or router
• Need rollover cableand configure the terminal emulation applicationwith the
following common equipment (COM) port settings: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control
• The AUX portis used to provide out-of-band management through a modem
NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
Summary
• A network interface card (NIC)
• Use a crossover cable to connect between two similar devices,
such as switches, routers, PCs, and hubs
• Use a straight-through cable to connect between different
devices, such as connections between a switch and a router, a
switch and a PC, or a hub and a router
• There are two major types of LANs, peer-to-peer and
client/server
• WANs use serial data transmission WAN connection types
include ISDN, DSL, and cable modems
• A router is usually the DTE and needs a serial cable to connect
to a DCE device like a CSU/DSU
Trang 16NIIT-ICT Hanoi info@niithanoi.vn
Summary
• The ISDN BRI has two types of interfaces, S/T and U interfaces
To interconnect the ISDN BRI port to the service-provider
device, a UTP Category 5 straight-through cable with RJ-45
connectors, is used
• A phone cable and an RJ-11 connector are used to connect a
router for DSL service
• Coaxial cable and a BNC connector are used to connect a
router for cable service
• Rollover cable is used to connect a terminal and the console
port of an internetworking device

or Switch
• Identify router interface names
• Setup simple WAN with two PCs, two switches,
two routers
