    Study Notes

    Transport Layer

    • TCP is the main protocol in the Transport layer of the TCP model.

    Troubleshooting Steps

    • The initial step in diagnosing network problems in small to medium-sized businesses is identifying the issue.

    Network Commands

    • Ping tests connectivity to a destination IP address.
    • Traceroute displays IP addresses along the path from source to destination.
    • The host command performs DNS lookups.
    • Netstat reveals open and listening ports on a device.

    Network Cabling

    • Single-mode fiber cables can carry signals over the longest distances.

    Layer 2 Switches

    • A layer 2 switch is also known as a bridge.
    • Layer 2 switches do not use routing tables and flood ports when the destination is unknown.

    Firewalls

    • Firewalls can be either hardware devices or software packages, but they are not physical rooms for server protection.

    DNS and HOSTS File

    • A secondary name server obtains data from another server via zone transfer.
    • AAAA records resolve hostnames to IPv6 addresses.
    • Entries in a HOSTS file take precedence over DNS entries.

    Network Connectivity Issue

    • A common issue for users unable to connect to a specific network is the absence of a default gateway; configuring a default gateway in the appropriate network can resolve this.

    IPv6 Tunneling

    • ISATAP and Teredo are tunneling protocols for transmitting IPv6 information over IPv4.

    VLAN Configuration

    • To enable communication among a group of computers located in different areas, configure a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN).

    IP Addressing Tools

    • The command ipconfig /all displays detailed IP and DHCP server information.

    Secure Communications

    • Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are used to secure messages over public networks from unauthorized access.

    Domain Names

    • An example of a second-level domain is "in-addr.arpa".

    Traffic Filtering by Firewalls

    • Firewalls primarily filter traffic based on ports and protocols.

    Router Functionality

    • Routers operate primarily at the Network layer, not the Data Link layer.

    Connection Types

    • Full duplex connections allow simultaneous sending and receiving of data.

    VPN Types

    • Site-to-site VPNs are used to connect two networks for collaboration.

    Network Component Functions

    • Firewalls control data packet access, Remote Access Servers authenticate users, DHCP distributes IP addresses, NAT manages private IP routing, and VPNs facilitate secure communications over public networks.

    Internet Connection Types

    • Cable modems use shared broadband, DSL uses dedicated lines, and ISDN employs two 64Kbps channels.

    Router and NAT Functions

    • A router separates multiple networks; NAT translates private IP addresses to public ones; VLAN configurations typically occur on switches, not routers.

    Common Ports

    • Port 25 is used for email, while ports 80 and 443 are used for unsecured and secured web traffic respectively.

    Topology Considerations

    • Ring topology is often mistaken for star topology; the physical topology of a network can significantly affect performance and reliability.

    Networking Standards

    • A crossover cable is used to connect similar devices, like switch to switch, while straight-through cables connect dissimilar devices, like computers to switches.

    Network Address Ranges

    • Private network addresses range from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255, multicast addresses from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255, and public network addresses cover the remainder.

    Bus Topology Disadvantage

    • A major drawback of bus topology is its reliance on a single cable, representing a single point of failure.

    Default Routing

    • The default route in a routing table is indicated by the address 0.0.0.0.

    Peer-to-Peer Networks

    • Peer-to-peer networks typically connect 10 or fewer devices, allowing direct communication between users.

    Virtual Machines

    • Virtual machines enable multiple operating systems to run on a single physical computer, enhancing resource utilization.

    Cable Testing

    • A cable tester is essential for verifying the correct wiring of Ethernet cables.

    Wireless Networking

    • Ad hoc networks operate without centralized devices like routers or access points.

    Routing on Windows Servers

    • To enable routing on an on-premises Windows Server, the Remote Access role must be added.

    IPv6 Local Address

    • The local IPv6 address (::1) is the loopback address, analogous to 127.0.0.1 in IPv4.
