Study Notes
Network Installation and Troubleshooting
- To ensure a fiber-optic cable is working properly before installation, use a tool to test the cable.
- When a laptop can't access a website, but a phone can using a cellular connection, the most likely reason is a problem with the laptop's DNS configuration.
TCP/IP Protocols
- SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): designed to download email, allows multiple clients to connect to the same mailbox.
- SSH (Secure Shell): designed as a replacement for Telnet, operates on port 22.
- FTP (File Transfer Protocol): used for file transfer, operates on port 21.
- Telnet: operates on port 23.
- LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol): used to access data such as employee phone numbers and email addresses, operates on port 389.
- SMB (Server Message Block): used for file and printer sharing, operates on port 445.
- DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): responsible for dynamically assigning IP addresses to client computers, operates on ports 67 and 68.
- IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol): used for email retrieval, operates on port 143.
- ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol): used to deliver error messages if communication between two computers fails.
Network Devices
- Router: operates at Layer 3 of the OSI model, capable of reading IP addresses and forwarding packets based on the destination IP address.
- Switch: operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model, capable of reading MAC addresses and forwarding packets based on the destination MAC address.
- Firewall: designed to block malicious data from entering the network, operates at Layer 3 of the OSI model.
Network Connectivity
- Wi-Fi Standards: 802.11ac is the fastest, operating in both the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies.
- Wi-Fi Security: use WPA2 encryption with a strong password to secure a Wi-Fi network.
- Network Cables: use Cat 6 or higher for gigabit Ethernet connections.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): allows devices to receive power over the same cable as the Ethernet connection.
IPv4 and IPv6
- IPv4 Addressing: a private IP address is not routable on the Internet, examples include 10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0, and 192.168.0.0.
- IPv6 Addressing: an equivalent to 127.0.0.1 in IPv4 is ::1 in IPv6, FE80::/10 is a link-local address, automatically assigned by the host when it boots.
Network Management
- SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol): used to gather and manage network performance information, operates on port 161.
- DNS (Domain Name System): used to resolve hostnames to IP addresses, operates on port 53.
Internet Connection Types
- DSL (Digital Subscriber Line): offers asymmetrical download and upload speeds, implemented over common phone lines.
- Wireless Internet: uses a wireless connection to access the Internet, can be used for broadband Internet access in remote areas.
Network Security
- Encryption: use TLS (Transport Layer Security) to encrypt connections between clients and servers.
- Firewall Configuration: open or close specific ports to allow or deny access to specific services or protocols.
Network Types
- WAN (Wide Area Network): spans multiple buildings or offices, possibly even crossing roads, but is confined to a relatively small geographical area.
- LAN (Local Area Network): typically defined as being contained within a single office or building.
- MAN (Metropolitan Area Network): covers large geographical areas, often using lines owned by other entities.
- PAN (Personal Area Network): most commonly associated with Bluetooth devices, covers a small area.
Other Technologies
- PoE (Power over Ethernet): allows devices to receive power over the same cable as the Ethernet connection.
- RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification): used for low-power, passive reading of a small tag or patch on an object.
- NFC (Near-Field Communication): used for low-power, short-range communication, commonly used for mobile payments.
