Study Notes

IP Addresses and Network Management

4 octets (32-bit) IP addresses make it easier to manage computer networks.
ICMP (Internet Message Control Protocol) is used to transmit status and error messages between network stations.

ICMP Error Messages

5 types of errors are handled by ICMP:
- Destination Unreachable: sent when a router cannot route a datagram.
- Source Quench: sent when a router or host discards a datagram due to congestion.
- Time Exceeded: sent when a packet travels in a loop or cycle due to errors in routing tables.
- Parameter Problems: sent when there are errors in packet parameters.
- Redirection: sent when a router or host cannot route a datagram.

Network Security

Configuring network settings involves enabling security features such as firewalls, antivirus software, and intrusion detection systems.
These features help protect the network from potential security threats.
Examples of security measures include:
- Blocking of unnecessary ports.
- Mapping services with allowed ports.
- Netting of public IPs with private IPs in creation of special Demilitarized Zones (DMZs).
- Enforcing proper Access Control Lists at Firewalls.

Troubleshooting Network Connectivity

Steps to troubleshoot TCP/IP network connectivity issues:
- Check physical connections of devices.
- Check IP configuration of devices.
- Check firewall or security settings that may be blocking communication.
- Perform a network trace or packet capture to identify issues with network traffic.

Communication Services

File Transfer: copying or moving files from one computer to another or multiple computers over a network.
Email: a communication method that allows users to send emails to each other using email servers.
Social Networking: allows users to connect with each other, share thoughts, pictures, and videos.
Internet Chat: provides instant text transfer services between two hosts.
Discussion Boards: allows users to connect with each other, ask questions, and share information.

Network Services

Network services are a fundamental component of modern computer networks.
They enable devices to connect and interact with each other, allowing users to access information, share data, and collaborate effectively.
Examples of network services include:
- Directory Services: mapping between name and value, which can be variable or fixed.
- Accounting: provides means of storing user information, organizing it, and making it available when requested.
- Authentication and Authorization: checks user credentials to authenticate a user and controls access to resources.
- Domain Name Services (DNS): maps IP addresses to domain names, making it easier to remember and recall IP addresses.
