Objective

� First and foremost, better understanding

� Foundational knowledge leads to better productivity

� Employers know there is value in Cisco Certified employees

� http://www.cisco.com/go/hire - White paper on certifications

� Employees who were Cisco certified were found to have increased speed and effectiveness in completing network-related IT projects, resolving technical problems and an ability to come up to speed rapidly during onboarding.

� Seventy-eight percent of network managers in the survey rated their Cisco certified

staff as coming up to speed more than 20 percent faster.

� More than half of the networking managers in the survey rated external customer

satisfaction as being 30 percent or better as a result of Cisco certified staff.

� Network managers in the survey believed that Cisco certified employees reduce

network downtime by as much as 37 percent on average.

OSI Model

� We still use the OSI model for terminology

� “Layer 2 Switch”

� “Layer 3 Protocol”


TCP/IP Model

� A networking model, sometimes also called either a networking architecture or networking blueprint, refers to a comprehensive set of documents. Individually, each document describes one small function required for a network; collectively, these documents define everything that should happen for a computer network to work.


TCP/IP Model� Step 1. Create and encapsulate the application data with any required application layer headers. For example, the HTTP OK message

can be returned in an HTTP header, followed by part of the contents of a web page.

� Step 2. Encapsulate the data supplied by the application layer inside a transport layer header. For end-user applications, a TCP or UDP header is typically used.

� Step 3. Encapsulate the data supplied by the transport layer inside a network layer (IP) header. IP defines the IP addresses that uniquely identify each computer.

� Step 4. Encapsulate the data supplied by the network layer inside a data link layer header and trailer. This layer uses both a header and a trailer.

� Step 5. Transmit the bits. The physical layer encodes a signal onto the medium to transmit the frame.


Standards� IEEE – Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers

� RFC – Request for Comments (TCP/IP uses to deploy protocols)



LANs and Ethernet


� 10Base-T (IEEE 802.3) 10 Mbps using category 3 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring for runs up to 100 meters. Unlike with the 10Base-2 and 10Base-5 networks, each device must connect into a hub or switch, and you can have only one host per segment or wire. It uses an RJ45 connector (8-pin modular connector) with a physical star topology and a logical bus.

� 100Base-TX (IEEE 802.3u) 100Base-TX, most commonly known as Fast Ethernet, uses EIA/TIA category 5, 5E, or 6 UTP two-pair wiring. One user per segment; up to 100 meters long. It uses an RJ45 connector with a physical star topology and a logical bus.

� 100Base-FX (IEEE 802.3u) Uses fiber cabling 62.5/125-micron multimode fiber. Point-to-point topology; up to 412 meters long. It uses ST and SC connectors, which are media-interface connectors.

� 1000Base-CX (IEEE 802.3z) Copper twisted-pair, called twinax, is a balanced coaxial pair that can run only up to 25 meters and uses a special 9-pin connector known as the High Speed Serial Data Connector (HSSDC). This is used in Cisco’s new Data Center technologies.

� 1000Base-T (IEEE 802.3ab) Category 5, four-pair UTP wiring up to 100 meters long and up to 1 Gbps.

� 1000Base-SX (IEEE 802.3z) The implementation of 1 Gigabit Ethernet running over multimode fiber-optic cable instead of copper twisted-pair cable, using short wavelength laser. Multimode fiber (MMF) using 62.5- and 50-micron core; uses an 850 nanometer (nm) laser and can go up to 220 meters with 62.5-micron, 550 meters with 50-micron.

� 1000Base-LX (IEEE 802.3z) Single-mode fiber that uses a 9-micron core and 1300 nm laser and can go from 3 kilometers up to 10 kilometers.

� 1000Base-ZX (Cisco standard) 1000BaseZX, or 1000Base-ZX, is a Cisco specified standard for Gigabit Ethernet communication. 1000BaseZX operates on ordinary single-mode fiber-optic links with spans up to 43.5 miles (70 km).

� 10GBase-T (802.3.an) 10GBase-T is a standard proposed by the IEEE 802.3an committee to provide 10 Gbps connections over conventional UTP cables, (category 5e, 6, or 7 cables). 10GBase-T allows the conventional RJ45 used for Ethernet LANs and can support signal transmission at the full 100-meter distance specified for LAN wiring.

� Crossover

� Rolled

Ethernet – Consistent at the Data Link

� Although Ethernet includes many physical layer standards, Ethernet acts like a single LAN technology because it uses the same data link layer standard over all types of Ethernet physical links.


White Board – Hubs/Bridges

� Hubs

� Bridges

� Half Duplex / Full Duplex

� Collision Domains


� Hubs operate at half-duplex

� Must detect collisions

� 30-40% overhead CSMA/CD

Half Duplex


� Two pairs of wires instead of one

� Point to point connections

Full Duplex


Segmenting


White Board - Switches

� MAC Addresses (Unicast vs Broadcast)

� CAM Table, MAC Address Table, Bridging Table, Switching Table

� Forwarding

� Loop Prevention (STP)

� Processing (Store and Forward, Cut Through, Fragment Free)


Switch Forwarding


Ethernet Addressing

� Ethernet addresses, also called Media Access Control (MAC)addresses, are 6-byte-long (48-bit-long) binary numbers

� Listed as 12 digit hexadecimal numbers

� Cisco switch might list a MAC address as 0000.0C12.3456 for readability


� http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui/public.html

� FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF - Broadcast

Troubleshooting and Identification


Base Design Concepts

� Broadcast Domains

� LAN switches forward Broadcast frames

� Routers do not forward Broadcast frames

� VLANs

� Virtual LANs (Trunks)

� A LAN consists of devices in the same Broadcast Domain

� Without VLANs, a switch considers all ports in the same broadcast domain

� With VLANs a switch groups different interfaces into separate broadcast domains based on configuration


Campus Design Terminology

� Access

� Connects directly to client devices (gives them access to the network)

� Distribution

� Forwards traffic to other access switches (doesn’t connect to end devices)

� Core

� Forwards traffic between other areas of the network (distribution)


� Shared Bandwidth

� Distance

� Privacy/Security
