Networking Fundamentals
Defines networking, LAN, WAN, and their components
Local Area Network (LAN): SOHO, Office, Campus
Wide Area Network (WAN): by ISPs, using MPLS, ATM, Frame Relay, Dark Fiber
Explains OSI model & encapsulation
Layer 7: Application Layer
Layer 6: Presentation Layer
Layer 5: Session Layer
Layer 4: Transport Layer, organizes data into segments
Layer 3: Network Layer, organizes data into packets
Layer 2: Data Link Layer, organizes data into frames
Layer 1: Physical Layer, organizes the data into bits, and transmits
Encapsulation: OSI Layer adds a header
Decapsulation: read and interpret the header information
Discusses different types of physical media
Copper
cheap interconnect devices in a LAN
maximum length 100m, data rates up to 40Gbps
Types
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP):
Shielded Twisted Pair
Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair
Fiber
faster data rates, 10Gbps to 100Gbps
Types
Multimode (MM): Lower cost Shorter distance
Single Mode (SM): Higher cost Longer distance
Compares unicast, multicast, and broadcast
Unicast traffic refers to one-to-one communication
Multicast traffic refers to one-to-many communication
Broadcast traffic communication is one-to-all
Discusses different types of networking devices
Switch
Router
Connect separate networks into an inter-network
Offer WAN connectivity to networks
Multi-Layer Switch: Performs both L2 switching and L3 routing
Access Points
Bridges wireless devices and wired networks.
Transform Ethernet into Wi-Fi frames and back
Varieties:
Internal or external antennas
Indoor or outdoor
Firewall
Block/Permit authorized/appropriate access
Stateless vs Stateful, Functionality built into switches, gateways
