    Study Notes

    Network Models - Chapter 1 Study Notes

    • Networking Fundamentals: Networking is a broad field encompassing various hardware and software components (cabling, switches, routers, clients, servers, OSs, protocols, applications, services). Successful networking professionals excel at installation, configuration, management, and troubleshooting these elements.
    • Troubleshooting and Research: Troubleshooting often involves identifying issues within a combination of interacting components, so efficient research skills are crucial.
    • JSW Scenario: The lab exercises follow a scenario where you are a new desktop support specialist at JSW, a mid-sized IT consulting firm with clients across the country.
    • OSI Model (Open Systems Interconnection): Developed by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) in 1983, the OSI model is used as a multi-protocol template for network products.
    • Data Delivery Process: Data transmission involves breaking data into smaller chunks, packaging, addressing, and sending them across a network. Recieving computers reassemble these packets.
    • OSI Model's 7 Layers: The model provides a layered approach to network communication.
      • Layer 1 (Physical): Deals with physical transmission of data (cables, wireless signals). NICs (Network Interface Cards) (transmitter/receiver) exist at this layer as well as the data link layer.
      • Layer 2 (Data Link): Defines MAC addresses (Media Access Control addresses). NICs (where MACs are burned in) and switches function at this layer. Ethernet (wired) and 802.11 (wireless) standards define Layer 1 and 2 aspects.
      • Layer 3 (Network): Handles IP addressing and routing. Routers operate at this layer.
      • Layer 4 (Transport): Handles TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) or UDP (User Datagram Protocol) for reliable or fast delivery. Segments or datagrams including port numbers are created.
      • Layer 5 (Session): Establishes, maintains, manages, and terminates connections between applications on different machines.
      • Layer 6 (Presentation): Handles data formatting (compression, decompression, encryption, decryption). This is mostly obsolete but remains for backward compatibility.
      • Layer 7 (Application): API calls for network access. Actual applications are at a higher level. Protocols such as DNS, DHCP, FTP, operate at this layer.
    • PDU (Protocol Data Unit): Each layer has its own PDU (data, segments/datagrams, packets, frames, bits/bytes). Frames also have trailers.
    • Hardware and Software Identification (Lab 1.01): In lab 1.01, students identify NICs, cables, switches, routers, protocols, MAC, IP addresses, and default gateways utilizing ipconfig /all.
    • netstat, ping, and tracert (Lab 1.02): These utilities provide network diagnostics.
      • netstat: Displays network connections and listening ports.
      • ping: Tests connectivity using ICMP.
      • tracert: Traces route packets take to reach a destination.
    • Understanding OSI Model (Lab 1.03): The lab emphasizes the stepwise process of data transfer through the model's layers.
    • OSI Model Presentation (Lab 1.04): Students prepare and deliver a presentation of the OSI model’s components.
    • Staying Current and Professional Networking (Lab 1.05): Staying up-to-date, networking, using LinkedIn is important, following peers and connecting to gain insight are encouraged.
