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
