Study Notes

Cisco Certifications

  • CCA: Cisco Certified Architect, highest level of Cisco certification.
  • CCIE: Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert, advanced certification focusing on network engineering.
  • CCNP: Cisco Certified Network Professional, validates skills in planning, implementing, and troubleshooting networks.
  • CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate, foundational certification for networking.
  • CCENT: Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician, entry-level certification for basic networking knowledge.

Networking Concepts

  • WAN: Wide Area Network, connects networks over large distances.
  • IOS: Internetwork Operating System, the software used on Cisco devices.
  • NAT: Network Address Translation, allows multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address.

Networking Protocols

  • TCP: Transmission Control Protocol, ensures reliable communication through error-checking.
  • UDP: User Datagram Protocol, provides faster communication without guaranteeing reliability.
  • IP: Internet Protocol, responsible for addressing and routing packets across networks.
  • ICMP: Internet Control Message Protocol, used for network diagnostics and error reporting.
  • ARP: Address Resolution Protocol, maps an IP address to a physical MAC address.
  • RARP: Reverse Address Resolution Protocol, maps a physical address to an IP address.

Subnetting Methods

  • VLSM: Variable Length Subnet Mask, allows subnets of different sizes.
  • CIDR: Classless Interdomain Routing, improves allocation and routing of IP addresses.
  • FLSM: Fixed Length Subnet Mask, utilizes identical subnet sizes.

Subnet Calculations

  • Total number of subnetworks: number of subnets created based on borrowed bits; determined by CIDR notation.
  • Total number of subnetted hosts: derived from the remaining bits after subnetting.
  • Total number of usable subnetted hosts: subtract 2 from the total subnetted hosts for network and broadcast addresses.
  • Total number of hosts: calculated from remaining unused addresses per network, minus reserved addresses.

Networking Devices

  • PVC: Permanent Virtual Circuits, a permanent connection in a network.
  • SVC: Switched Virtual Circuits, temporary connections established on demand.
  • CSU/DSU: Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit, devices used to connect end-user equipment to a digital circuit.

Memory Types in Networking

  • ROM: Read-Only Memory, non-volatile storage for firmware.
  • RAM: Random Access Memory, temporary storage for data and running applications.
  • NVRAM: Non-Volatile Random Access Memory, retains configuration information after power loss.
  • TFTP Server: Trivial File Transfer Protocol Server, used to upload and download configuration files.

Equipment Terminology

  • DCE: Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment, connects to the communication line from the service provider.
  • DTE: Data Terminal Equipment, connects to the DCE and sends data over the network.

Networking Protocols Continued

  • IPX: Internetwork Packet Exchange, a network layer protocol used primarily on early Novell networks.
