Study Notes
Duplex Mismatch
- A duplex mismatch occurs when one device operates in full-duplex mode and the other in half-duplex mode.
- Communication is possible but results in poor link performance.
- Common causes include misconfigured interfaces or, less frequently, failed autonegotiation.
- Troubleshooting duplex mismatches can be challenging as devices still communicate despite the issue.
IP Addressing Issues on IOS Devices
- Incorrect IPv4 assignments can stem from manual errors or DHCP issues.
- Administrators often manually assign IP addresses to devices like servers and routers.
- Verify IPv4 address assignments using
show ip interfaceorshow ip interface briefcommands on IOS devices.
IP Addressing Issues on End Devices
- Windows devices assign an address in the 169.254.0.0/16 range when unable to contact a DHCP server, known as Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA).
- APIPA addresses prevent communication with other devices on the network outside this range.
- Other operating systems, such as Linux and OS X, do not utilize APIPA.
Subnetting Requirements
- The IPv4 scheme requires 4 subnets from 192.168.0.0/24.
- Departments need specific host capacities: IT needs for 25 hosts, Sales for 50, more staff for 100, and Guest subnet for future 25 hosts.
- Basic security settings and interface configurations must be completed for routers and switches.
General Troubleshooting
- Engage in troubleshooting exercises, such as the Packet Tracer activity for resolving LAN issues.
Network Device Selection Factors
- Consider cost, speed, types of ports/interfaces, expandability, and OS features when selecting devices.
- Develop an IP addressing scheme applicable to all network devices.
- Redundancy can involve duplicate equipment and multiple network links for crucial areas.
Network Configuration Considerations
- Routers and switches should be configured to support real-time traffic relative to other data types.
- Networks should have documentation, device inventory, budget, and traffic analysis for scaling.
Connectivity Tests
- Use the ping command for quick Layer 3 connectivity tests between source and destination IPs.
- The
nslookupcommand reveals the default DNS server configured for a host.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
- DHCP automates the assignment of IPv4 addresses, subnet masks, gateways, and other related parameters.
- DHCP operates dynamically compared to static addressing, which involves manually entering IP information.
- When a host connects to the network, it requests an address from a DHCP server's configured pool.
DHCP Process
- Upon connection, a DHCP-configured device broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message to locate DHCP servers.
- DHCP servers respond with a DHCPOFFER message, proposing a lease for the client.
