Study Notes
Chapter 5 Regional Network Setup
- Network Fundamentals and Practices
Outline
- Ethernet network history
- Ethernet network types
- Ethernet network setup
- Introduction to wireless local area networks (WLANs)
- WLAN classifications
- WLAN setup
Ethernet Introduction
- A common network architecture
- Simple design, low cost
Ethernet History
- Developed by Xerox Palo Alto Research Center and Robert Metcalfe and Davis Boggs
- Inspired by the Aloha system at the University of Hawaii
- Initial speed of 2.94 Mbps
- 1980: 10 Mbps Ethernet standard (DEC, Intel, Xerox)
- 1982: Xerox lost trademark rights, allowing broader use
- Became a prevalent network architecture
Ethernet Types
- Various types based on speed, data transmission, and media
Ethernet Classifications
- Categorized by speed, modulation type, and transmission media
- 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps, 10Gbps, 1000Gbps
- Baseband: direct signal transmission
- Broadband: multiple signals on a single channel
- Media: twisted pair, coaxial cable, fiber optic
Ethernet Naming Conventions
- Format: [speed] [modulation] [media]
- Example: 100BaseT (100Mbps, baseband, twisted pair)
- Standard specifications (IEEE 802.3) define various Ethernet types
- Different types of cables (10Base5, 10Base2, 10BaseT, 10BaseF, 100BaseTX, 100BaseFX, 1000BaseCX, 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX, 1000BaseZX, 1000BaseT, 10GBaseCX4, 10GBaseSR, 10GBaseLR, 10GBaseZR, 10GBaseT, 40GBaseER4, 40GBaseT, 100GBaseER4)
Ethernet Growth
- Increased in 10x step size increments, progressing from 10, 100, 1000, 10000 to higher speeds
- Use of fiber optic cable and higher bandwidth media
- Further developments in the gigabit and multi-gigabit eras
Ethernet Network Structure
- Primarily a tree-like structure connecting devices using switches, network cards, and cables (Category 5, Enhanced Category 5, 100BaseTX, 1000BaseT Ethernet)
- Uses various connectors and cable types
Materials and Equipment
- UTP cables
- RJ-45 connectors
- RJ-45 jacks
- Network cards
- Cable testers
- Crimping tools
- Stripping tools
RJ-45 Connectors
- Standardized interface for connecting network cables
- Connects the cable to the network card
- Pin 1-8: specific signal transmission designation
Network Card (NIC)
- Connects the computer to the network
- Auto-sensing adjustments depending on wired speed/environment/Ethernet environment
- Full-duplex transmission capabilities
Hubs and Switches
- Network devices used for connecting multiple computers
- Have LED indicators to demonstrate connection status/speed
Additional Considerations
- Wiring distances and cable types
- Types of cables
- Wire specifications: bandwidth limit, EMI effects, proper wiring
- Connection speeds and requirements
Wireless Network Introduction
- Suitable for mobile and less structured environments
- Used in various applications (shops, factories)
Wireless Network Classifications
- WMAN: Wireless Metropolitan Area Network
- WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network
- WPAN: Wireless Personal Area Network
