Study Notes
OSI and TCP/IP Models
- The Physical layer (Layer 1) handles the physical connections (e.g., cables, switches) and signal transmission (electrical, optical, or radio). Examples include Ethernet cables and fiber optics.
- The Data Link layer (Layer 2) ensures error-free data transfer between devices on the same network. It manages MAC addresses and frames. Examples include switches and Network Interface Cards (NICs).
- The Network layer (Layer 3) manages routing, logical addressing (IP), and packet forwarding between networks. Examples include routers and IP addresses.
- The Transport layer (Layer 4) ensures reliable data delivery, using protocols like TCP for guaranteed delivery and UDP for faster but potentially unreliable transfer. Examples include TCP and UDP.
- The Session layer (Layer 5) manages communication sessions, including initiation, maintenance, and termination, between devices. Examples include authentication protocols.
- The Presentation layer (Layer 6) translates data into a format understood by the application, e.g., encryption, compression. Examples include SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption and TLS (Transport Layer Security).
- The Application layer (Layer 7) interfaces with user applications for data transfer (e.g., HTTP, FTP, DNS). Examples include web browsers and email clients.
TCP/IP Model
- The TCP/IP model combines layers 1 and 2 of the OSI model into a single Network Interface layer.
- The Internet layer is equivalent to OSI layer 3, managing IP addressing and routing.
- The Transport layer matches OSI Layer 4, handling communication using TCP or UDP protocols.
- The Application layer incorporates OSI layers 5, 6, and 7, handling user-facing applications and protocols like HTTP, FTP, and DNS.
Common Ports and Protocols
- Port 80 is used for standard HTTP web browsing.
- Port 443 is used for secure HTTPS web browsing.
- Port 25 is used for SMTP email transmission.
- Ports 20/21 are used for FTP file transfer.
- Port 53 is used for DNS to resolve domain names to IP addresses.
Device Layer Mapping
- A switch operates at Layer 2 (Data Link).
- A router operates at Layer 3 (Network).
- A Network Interface Card operates at Layers 1 and 2 (Physical and Data Link).
