    Study Notes

    TCP/IP Suite

    • The TCP/IP suite includes key protocols such as TCP (reliable data transfer), IP (routing of data packets), DNS, DHCP, FTP, HTTP, and SMTP, each with its own specific function.
    • TCP/IP is a set of protocols that operate at different levels, with four layers: Application, Transport, Internet, and Network Interface.

    TCP/IP Addressing and Subnetting

    • TCP/IP addressing is a system used to identify and communicate with devices on a network, consisting of an IP address and a subnet mask.
    • The IP address is a unique identifier assigned to each device, while the subnet mask determines which part of the IP address identifies the network and which part identifies the host.
    • Subnetting is the process of dividing a network into smaller subnets to improve performance and security.

    Datagram Transmission

    • Each datagram contains a field called Time to Live (TTL) that controls the situation.
    • When a datagram visits a router, the TTL value is decremented by 1, and when it reaches 0, the router discards the datagram.
    • A time-exceeded message is sent by the router to the original source when a datagram is discarded.

    Configuring TCP/IP Network Settings

    • Configuring TCP/IP network settings involves setting up IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and DNS servers on devices.
    • This can be done manually or through automated tools such as DHCP.
    • Configuring network settings also involves enabling security features such as firewalls, antivirus software, and intrusion detection systems.

    Troubleshooting TCP/IP Network Connectivity Issues

    • Troubleshooting TCP/IP network connectivity issues involves using tools such as ping, tracert/traceroute, ipconfig/ifconfig, and nslookup.
    • These tools help diagnose and troubleshoot problems at the network and system levels.

    Network Services

    • Network services are a fundamental component of modern computer networks, facilitating communication and resource sharing between devices.
    • Examples of network services include Directory Services, Accounting, Authentication and Authorization, and Domain Name Services (DNS).
    • DNS is a crucial service that maps IP addresses to domain names, making it easier to access information on the internet.
