Ensures error-free data transfer between devices on the same network, using MAC addresses and frames.

Network Layer (OSI Layer 3)

Responsible for routing and logical addressing (IP) of data packets between networks.

Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)

A built-in system that automatically assigns an IP address to a device if it cannot obtain one from a DHCP server. This allows limited local network communication to occur even without a DHCP server.

Study Notes

OSI and TCP/IP Models

  • Physical Layer (Layer 1): Handles physical connections (cables, switches), signal transmission (electrical, optical, radio waves), and data as bits. Examples include Ethernet cables and fiber optics.
  • Data Link Layer (Layer 2): Provides error-free data transfer between devices on the same network. Manages Media Access Control (MAC) addresses and frames. Examples include switches and Network Interface Cards (NICs).
  • Network Layer (Layer 3): Responsible for routing, logical addressing (IP), and forwarding packets between networks. Examples include routers and IP versions (IPv4, IPv6).
  • Transport Layer (Layer 4): Ensures reliable data delivery (TCP for guaranteed delivery, UDP for faster but unreliable transfer). Manages ports and protocols such as TCP, UDP.
  • Session Layer (Layer 5): Manages communication sessions, including initiation, maintenance, and termination. Examples include authentication protocols.
  • Presentation Layer (Layer 6): Translates data into a format understood by applications. Tasks include encryption and compression.
  • 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

  • Network Interface Layer: Combines OSI layers 1 and 2 (Physical and Data Link). It handles MAC addressing, physical connections, and framing of data.
  • Internet Layer: Equivalent to OSI layer 3 (Network). Responsible for IP addressing and packet routing.
  • Transport Layer: Matches OSI layer 4 (Transport). Provides end-to-end communication using TCP/UDP protocols.
  • Application Layer: Combines OSI layers 5, 6, and 7 (Session, Presentation, Application). It manages user-facing applications and protocols like HTTP, FTP, and DNS.

Common Ports and their Application

  • Various protocols use specific ports for communication. For example, HTTP uses port 80, HTTPS uses port 443, SMTP uses port 25, and FTP uses ports 20 and 21.

IPv4 Addresses

  • 32-bit addresses divided into four octets (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
  • Each octet is a decimal value between 0 and 255.
  • Different classes (A, B, C) have different ranges and default subnet masks.

IPv6 Addresses

  • 128-bit address, divided into 8 groups of 16-bit hexadecimal values.
  • Consecutive zeros can be abbreviated using double colons (::).

UTP Ethernet Cables

  • Common network cables.
  • Various categories (Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a) with differing standards.
  • Straight-through and crossover cables serve different purposes.

TCP Reliability in Data Transfers

  • TCP uses error detection (checksums), acknowledgements (ACKs), sequence numbers, and retransmission to ensure reliable data delivery.

Wireless Networks (Infrastructure vs. Ad Hoc)

  • Infrastructure Mode: Devices connect through a central access point (AP).
  • Ad Hoc Mode: Devices connect directly with each other (peer-to-peer).

APIPA Addresses

  • Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) provides a temporary IP address when a DHCP server is unavailable.

Firewalls

  • Network security devices or software to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic.
  • Common functions like traffic filtering, protecting resources, and intrusion prevention. Types include packet filtering, stateful firewalls, and next-generation firewalls (NGFWs).

Protocols at Layers 3 and 4

  • Layer 3 (Network): IP (IPv4, IPv6), ICMP, ARP, RARP
  • Layer 4 (Transport): TCP, UDP, SCTP
