Study Notes
Network Threats
- Spyware is software secretly collecting data about user activity, including websites visited.
Network Types
- An extranet is a secure network for suppliers, customers, and collaborators to access corporate resources.
- A WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider) is recommended in rural areas without wired broadband access.
Network Characteristics
- Scalability enables a network to grow without impacting existing users.
- Fault tolerance allows for service continuity despite hardware failures, like a cut fiber optic cable.
Network Devices
- A router determines the path messages take through internetworks.
Internet Access
- Cellular and satellite internet connections do not require physical cables.
- The internet is a global network of interconnected networks used for online activities like shopping.
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)
- BYOD allows users to access network resources from personal devices, enhancing flexibility and security.
- VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) provide secure remote access to company networks.
Cisco IOS Configuration
- The running configuration file takes effect immediately when modified.
- User EXEC mode allows viewing some configuration aspects and uses the '>' symbol as its prompt.
- The enable secret command secures privileged EXEC mode access.
- The default SVI (Switch Virtual Interface) on a Cisco switch is VLAN1.
- The hostname must be less than 64 characters, start with a letter, and contain no spaces.
- NVRAM stores the startup configuration file, while RAM holds the running configuration.
- The
copy startup-config running-configcommand copies the startup configuration to RAM.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
- DHCP automatically assigns IP addresses to hosts.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) Suite
- ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) and IP (Internet Protocol) function at the Internet layer (Layer 3 of the OSI model).
- The Transport layer (Layer 4 of the OSI model) segments and reassembles data.
Message Delivery
- Broadcast messages transmit to all devices on a local area network.
- Multicast messages transmit to a specific group of devices.
Data Encoding and Decoding
- Encoding converts information into a format suitable for transmission.
- Decoding converts received data into a readable message.
Network Encapsulation
- An IP packet is encapsulated in a Layer 2 frame before transmission.
- Encapsulation places one message inside another for transfer.
- From a web client's perspective, the protocol stack order for a web request is: HTTP, TCP, IP, Ethernet.
Network Security
- Implementing a firewall and antivirus software provides basic network security.
Cisco IOS Command Basics
- Ctrl-Shift-6 interrupts the ping process.
- The
show ip interface briefcommand displays switch interface status and configured IP addresses.
Cisco IOS Configuration Management
- The
reloadcommand resets the device without saving changes. -
lineconinis the console password for user EXEC mode. - This command (
copy startup-config running-config) copies the startup configuration to the running configuration. - The
service password-encryptioncommand hides passwords in plain text.
Cisco IOS Command Syntax
-
running-configis a keyword in theshow running-configcommand.
Cisco IOS Devices and Interfaces
- The switch virtual interface allows remote management of a Layer 2 switch.
Cisco IOS CLI (Command Line Interface)
- The Tab key completes partially typed words in commands.
Cisco IOS Memory
- RAM (Random Access Memory) loses its contents during a power cycle.
- The device's running configuration is stored in RAM.
Telnet vs. SSH
- SSH provides secure remote sessions with encryption and user authentication, unlike Telnet.
Password Security
- Console, VTY, and privileged EXEC mode can be protected with passwords.
OSI Model
- A logical address is added at the Network layer (Layer 3) during encapsulation.
Network Addressing
- ServerB will generate a packet with the destination IP address of HostA.
- ServerB will generate a frame with the destination MAC address of RouterB.
TCP/IP Protocol Suite
- FTP (File Transfer Protocol), DNS (Domain Name System), and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) are application layer protocols in the TCP/IP suite.
Protocol Data Units (PDUs)
- A frame format is used when bits are received from the network by a host's NIC.
Multicast Messages
- These messages are sent to a select group of hosts.
Encapsulation
- Encapsulation is the process of placing one PDU inside another.
Protocols and Data Communications
- Protocols define the rules for message exchange between source and destination.
Network Request/Response
- The protocol stack order for decoding a received transmission is: Ethernet, IP, TCP, HTTP.
TCP/IP Encapsulation
- Segments are sent from the transport layer to the internet layer.
OSI Model and TCP/IP Model
- The Data Link and Physical layers of the OSI model correspond to the Network Access layer of the TCP/IP model.
