Internetworking Basics
How would you say the PC named Bob communicates
with the PC named Sally?
Internetworking Basics
Switches can replace the hub, breaking up collision domains.
Keep in mind that the hub used in the figure just extended the one
collision domain from the switch port.
4
Internetworking Basics
Heres a list of some of the things that commonly cause
LAN traffic congestion:
Too many hosts in a broadcast domain
Broadcast storms
Multicasting
Low bandwidth
Adding hubs for connectivity to the network
A bunch of ARP or IPX traffic (IPX is a Novell protocol
that is like IP, but really, really chatty. Typically not
used in todays networks.)
5
Internetworking Basics
Routers create an internetwork.
6
Internetworking Basics
There are two advantages of using routers in your
network:
They dont forward broadcasts by default.
They can filter the network based on layer 3
(Network layer) information (e.g., IP address).
Four router functions in your network can be listed
as follows:
Packet switching
Packet filtering
Internetwork communication
Path selection

Layered Models
The Layered Approach
A reference model is a conceptual blueprint of how
communications should take place.
It addresses all the processes required for effective
communication and divides these processes into
logical groupings called layers.
When a communication system is designed in this
manner, its known as layered architecture.
10
The OSI Model
The OSI isnt a physical model. Rather, its
a set of guidelines that application
developers can use to create and
implement applications that run on a
network.
It also provides a framework for creating
and implementing networking standards,
devices, and internetworking schemes.

Ethernet Networking
Ethernet is a contention media access method that
allows all hosts on a network to share the same
bandwidth of a link.
Ethernet is popular because its readily scalable,
meaning that its comparatively easy to integrate
new technologies, such as Fast Ethernet and
Gigabit Ethernet, into an existing network
infrastructure.
Its also relatively simple to implement in the first
place, and with it, troubleshooting is reasonably
straightforward.

Half and Full Duplex
Half-duplex Ethernet is defined in the original 802.3
Ethernet; Cisco says it uses only one wire pair with a
digital signal running in both directions on the wire.
But full-duplex Ethernet uses two pairs of wires instead
of one wire pair like half duplex. And full duplex uses a
point-to-point connection between the transmitter of the
transmitting device and the receiver of the receiving
device.
Full-duplex Ethernet can be used in three situations:
With a connection from a switch to a host
With a connection from a switch to a switch
With a connection from a host to a host using a
crossover cable
25
Ethernet Addressing
The MAC, or hardware, address is a 48-bit (6-byte) address
written in a hexadecimal format.
26
Ethernet at the Physical Layer
The IEEE 802.3 and original Ethernet Physical layer
specifications.
27
Ethernet Cabling
Ethernet cabling is an important discussion, especially if you
are planning on taking the Cisco exams.
Three types of Ethernet cables are available:
Straight-through cable
Crossover cable
Rolled cable
We will look at each in the following sections.
28
Straight Through
The straight-through cable is used to connect
Host to switch or hub
Router to switch or hub
29
Crossover Cable
The crossover cable can be used to connect
Switch to switch
Hub to hub
Host to host
Hub to switch
Router direct to host
30
Rolled Cable
Although rolled cable isnt used to connect any Ethernet
connections together, you can use a rolled Ethernet cable to
connect a host to a router console serial communication (com)
port.

34
Data Encapsulation
When a host transmits data across a
network to another device, the data
goes through encapsulation:
It is wrapped with protocol
information at each layer of the OSI
model.
Each layer communicates only with
its peer layer on the receiving
device.
35
PDU
36
Port Numbers
The Transport layer uses port numbers to define both the virtual
circuit and the upper-layer process.
37
Ciscos Three-Layer Model
The following are the three layers and their typical functions:
The core layer: backbone
The distribution layer: routing
The access layer: switching
