Study Notes
Host Roles
- Each computer on a network is termed as a host or end device.
- Types of services provided by servers include email, web, and file sharing.
- In Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks, devices can function as both clients and servers, suitable only for small networks.
Intermediary Network Devices
- Intermediary devices connect end devices and ensure effective data transmission.
- Responsibilities include regenerating signals, routing data, maintaining pathway information, and error notification.
Network Media
- Communication through networks occurs via various media types, which facilitate message transfer.
- Cable options include metal wires (using electrical impulses), fiber-optic (using light pulses), and wireless transmission (utilizing electromagnetic waves).
Common Types of Networks
- Includes Small Home Networks, Small Office/Home Office, Medium/Large networks, and global options like LAN and WAN.
- Intranets refer to private LANs/WANs within a company, while Extranets extend access to suppliers and customers.
Operating Systems
- Shell allows user interactions either through Command Line Interface (CLI) or Graphical User Interface (GUI).
- Kernel serves as a communicative layer between hardware and software.
Access Methods
- Console access is physical, while Secure Shell and Telnet enable remote CLI connections.
- Terminal emulation programs allow settings and configurations for network devices through various access methods.
Command Modes
- User EXEC Mode offers limited commands for monitoring; while Privileged EXEC Mode allows access to all commands.
- Global Configuration Mode is for device configurations; Interface Configuration Mode is specifically for switch port configurations.
Security Measures
- Securing access involves setting passwords for different modes (user, privileged, and VTY).
- Encryption of passwords and the use of banner messages warn unauthorized access attempts.
Network Protocol Requirements
- Protocols ensure message encoding, formatting, timing, flow control, response timeout, and delivery options for data transmission.
The OSI Reference Model
- Comprises seven layers: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application, each defining specific data exchange capabilities.
TCP/IP Reference Model
- Four layers include Application, Transport, Internet, and Network Access, facilitating data handling from user representation to hardware control.
Protocol Functions
- Core functions include addressing for identifying sources and destinations, reliability for delivery guarantees, flow control for data flow management, and error detection for corruption issues during transmission.
Protocol Suites and Open Standards
- Protocol suites promote interoperability, competition, and innovation within network communications.
- Open standards ensure protocols are publicly accessible, fostering a collaborative development environment.
