Study Notes
Ethernet and Networking Technologies Overview
- IEEE standards Type 3 (PoE++) and Type 4 increase PoE power, with Type 3 carrying up to 60 watts and Type 4 supplying a maximum of 100 watts on each port.
- PoE injectors add power to Ethernet cables from a switch to PoE devices.
- A PoE switch supplies power to PoE devices but not to standard Ethernet devices.
- An Ethernet hub broadcasts signals from one port to others, slowing down traffic and subdividing network bandwidth.
- Fiber optic services utilize an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) as a demarcation point, converting light signaling into electrical impulses.
- The ONT serves as a modem, converting digital to analog and vice versa, and is installed out of sight in a utility or service area.
- Cable and DSL modems provide internet connectivity, with cable modems using TV lines and DSL modems connecting to a standard RJ-11 telephone line.
- Cable modems support upload speeds from 1 to 20 Mbps and download speeds from 6 Mbps to 1+ Gbps, theoretically available anywhere cable TV is accessible.
- DSL modem speeds vary based on the distance from the modem to the telephone company's central switch.
- Network Interface Cards (NICs) connect computers to wired or wireless networks, with older computers using PCI-based NICs and current computers using PCIe NICs.
- NICs have a 48-bit built-in binary Media Access Control (MAC) address that uniquely identifies them.
- Before sending data, a NIC breaks it into transmission-friendly frames, each tagged with the MAC address of the sender and recipient, along with error detection information.
Networking Hardware Devices and Technologies
- Switches connect hosts on a LAN and memorize MAC addresses for smart signal routing
- A LAN is a group of networked computers within a few meters, while a WAN connects multiple LANs
- Managed switches offer customizable port settings, including VLANs and QoS
- Unmanaged switches, typically for small offices, lack management features and keep all devices in the same LAN
- Access points (APs) centrally connect wireless network nodes into a WLAN and can act as high-speed switches and Internet routers
- Patch panels have permanent connectors for horizontal cables and female port connectors for easy switch connection
- Firewalls protect internal networks from unauthorized Internet access and can limit damage from compromised nodes
- Hardware firewalls use stateful packet inspection (SPI) to filter and block incoming traffic
- Software firewalls primarily protect single host computers rather than entire networks or enterprise systems
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables devices like APs and security cameras to operate on electricity supplied by PoE injectors or switches
- PoE standards, such as IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at, specify power sourcing and maximum power output for different types of powered devices
- IEEE 802.3af (Standard PoE) supplies 44-57 volts and a maximum power output of 15.4 watts, suitable for VoIP and Wi-Fi APs; IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) supplies 50-57 volts and supports devices like LCD displays and biometric sensors
