Study Notes
LAN Overview
- LAN (Local Area Network) allows sharing of resources such as printers, file servers, scanners, and internet among computers.
- LANs are composed of inexpensive networking and routing equipment.
- Local servers provide file storage and other locally shared applications.
- LANs operate on private IP addresses and do not involve heavy routing.
- LANs work under their own local domain and are controlled centrally.
LAN Technologies
- Ethernet is the most widely employed LAN technology and uses Star topology.
- Token-ring is another LAN technology, but it is rarely seen.
Ethernet
- Ethernet is a traditional technology for connecting wired local area networks (LANs).
- Ethernet enables devices to communicate with each other via a protocol.
- Ethernet was invented by Bob Metcalfe and D.R. Boggs in 1970 and standardized in IEEE 802.3 in 1980.
- Ethernet shares media, which has a high probability of data collision.
- Ethernet uses Carrier Sense Multi Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) technology to detect collisions.
Ethernet Connector
- An Ethernet connector is a network interface card equipped with a 48-bits MAC address.
- The MAC address helps other Ethernet devices to identify and communicate with remote devices in Ethernet.
10BASE-T Ethernet
- Traditional Ethernet uses 10BASE-T specifications.
- 10BASE-T provides transmission speed up to 10MBPS and uses coaxial cable or Cat-5 twisted pair cable with RJ-5 connector.
- Ethernet follows Star topology with segment length up to 100 meters.
Fast Ethernet
- Fast Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) transmission standard that provides a data rate of 100 megabits per second.
- Fast Ethernet can run on UTP, Optical Fiber, and wirelessly too.
- It can provide speed up to 100MBPS.
Giga-Ethernet
- Giga-Ethernet provides speed up to 1000 mbits/seconds.
- IEEE802.3ab standardizes Giga-Ethernet over UTP using Cat-5, Cat5e, and Cat-6 cables.
- Giga-Ethernet is defined in the IEEE 802.3 standard and is currently being used as the backbone in many enterprise networks.
Virtual LAN (VLAN)
- VLAN divides a single Broadcast domain into multiple Broadcast domains.
- Host in one VLAN cannot speak to a host in another.
- VLAN is a solution to divide a single Broadcast domain into multiple Broadcast domains.
