Network Topology Cables and connectors Network Devices
Network Topologies
2
LANs and WANs - Geographical coverage LANs
A single geographical location, such as office building, school, etc
Typically High speed and cheaper. WANs
Spans more than one geographical location often connecting separated LANs
Slower Costly hardware, routers, dedicated leased lines
and complicated implementation procedures.
Network Topologies
3
Topology - Physical and logical network layout Physical – actual layout of the computer cables
and other network devices Logical – the way in which the network appears to
the devices that use it. Common topologies:
Bus, ring, star, mesh and wireless
Bus topology
4
Uses a trunk or backbone to which all of the computers on the network connect.
Systems connect to this backbone using T connectors or taps.
Coaxial cablings ( 10Base-2, 10Base5) were popular options years ago.
Bus Topology
5
Advantages Disadvantages
Cheap and easy to implement Network disruption when computers are added or removed
Require less cable A break in the cable will prevent all systems from accessing the network.
Does not use any specialized network equipment.
Difficult to troubleshoot.
Ring Topology
6
Logical ring Meaning that data travels in circular fashion
from one computer to another on the network. Typically FDDI, SONET or Token Ring
technology are used to implement a ring network
Ring networks are most commonly wired in a star configuration Token Ring has multi-station access unit
(MSAU),equivalent to hub or switch. MSAU performs the token circulation internally.
Ring Topology
7
Advantages DisadvantagesCable faults are easily located, making troubleshooting easier
Expansion to the network can cause network disruption
Ring networks are moderately easy to install
A single break in the cable can disrupt the entire network.
Star Topology
8
All computers/devices connect to a central device called hub or switch.
Each device requires a single cable point-to-point connection between the device
and hub. Most widely implemented Hub is the single point of failure
Star Topology
9
Advantages DisadvantagesEasily expanded without disruption to the network
Requires more cable
Cable failure affects only a single user
A central connecting device allows for a single point of failure
Easy to troubleshoot and isolate problems
More difficult to implement
Mesh Topology
10
Each computer connects to every other. High level of redundancy. Rarely used.
Wiring is very complicated Cabling cost is high Troubleshooting a failed cable is tricky A variation hybrid mesh – create point to point
connection between specific network devices, often seen in WAN implementation.
Mesh Topology
11
Advantages Disadvantages
Provides redundant paths between devices
Requires more cable than the other LAN topologies
The network can be expanded without disruption to current uses
Complicated implementation
Wireless networking
12
Do not require physical cabling Particularly useful for remote access for laptop
users Eliminate cable faults and cable breaks. Signal interference and security issue.
Wireless networking
13
Advantages DisadvantagesAllows for wireless remote access Potential security issues associated with
wireless transmissions
Network can be expanded without disruption to current users
Limited speed in comparison to other network topologies
Cabling and Connectors General media considerations
Broadband versus baseband Baseband transmissions use digital signaling and Time
Division Multiplexing (TDM) Broadband transmissions use analog and Frequency
Division Multiplexing(FDM) Dialog modes: Simplex, half duplex and full
duplex
Cabling and Connectors
15
Media interference Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and cross talk Network media vary in their resistance to the effect of EMC.
UTP is susceptible and fiber is resistant Attenuation
Resistance :Coaxial cable > UTP, STP > UTP, Fiber > all Maximum distance Repeaters Attenuation-related problems require a network analyzer to
detect Bandwidth
Transmission capacity of a media Data throughput is measured in bits per second(bps), Mbps,
and Gbps For today’s application-intensive networks, Old 10Mbps is
not enough, 100Mbps is very common and 1000Mbps is used too.
Network Media Cable-based media
Coaxial Copper wire to conduct the signals electronically Was the choice for LAN for many years. Retiring
Twisted pair Copper wire to conduct too Most widely used
Fiber-optic transmits the signals as light Uses glass or plastic conductor and High Cost. Restricted to where segment length and
higher speeds are needed. Server room, backbone
Twisted-pair cabling Has been around for a long time Created for voice transmissions Most widely used media for networking
Lighter More flexible Easier to install Cheaper Greater speeds
Two types: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Shielded twisted pair (STP)
Twisted-pair cabling UTP is more commonplace STP
provides the extra shielding by using an insulating material wrapped around the wire
Greater resistance to EMI and attenuation More cost
Five main categories
Category Cable Types Application1 UTP Analog voice
2 UTP Digital voice, 1Mbps data
3 UTP, STP 16Mbps data
4 UTP, STP 20Mbps data
5, 5e UTP, STP Data, 100Mbps, 1G
6, 6e UTP, STP Data, 1G, 10G
RJ-45 connectors
RJ-45 are used with twisted-pair cabling. Resemble ordinary phone jacks (RJ-11) Eight wires instead of four Larger. Check out this page for how to make cat5
cable. http://www.tomax7.com/aplus/cat5.htm
Fiber-optic cable
Use light transmissions EMI, crosstalk and attenuation become no
issue. Well suited for data, video and voice
transmissions Most secure of all cable media Installation and maintenance procedures
require skills Cost of cable Cost of retrofitting of existing network
equipment because incompatible with most electronic network equipment
Fiber-optic cable Single mode fiber:
A single direct bean of light, allowing for greater distances and increased transfer speeds.
Multimode fiber: Many beams of light travel through the cable This strategy weakens the signal, reducing the length and
speed the data signal can travel.
Fiber-optic connectors
MIC, Standard FDDI connector
FC
LC
There are a variety of connectors and several ways of Connecting these connectors, such bayonet, snap-lock, and push-pull connectors. A couple here:
SC duplex
ST
SC
Wireless media Three types:
Radio wave Infrared Microwave
Speeds of wireless solutions don’t keep pace with cable solutions
Installation and maintenance are far more complicated and costly.
Some solutions require line-of-sight, such as infrared and microwave.

Hubs
32
The bottom of the networking food chain Connect device and create larger networks Small hubs 5-8 ports (workgroup hubs) Some hubs have more ports, up to 32
normally Direct data packets to all devices
connected to the hub - shared bandwidthanimation
Scalability, Collision, inefficient
Bridges
33
Divide larger networks into smaller sections Check MAC address, forward or block the data Learning bridge builds list of MAC address by
watching the traffic on the network. Two issues to consider:
Placement 80/20 rule Bridging loops
IEEE 802.1d Spanning tree protocol Types of bridges
Transparent bridge Source route bridge Translational bridge
Bridges
34
Source Route Bridge Used in Token Ring networks. The entire path (ring number and
bridge number) is embedded within Packet Search frame Route discovery frame
Translational bridge Used to convert one networking
data format to another. For example, from Token Ring to
Ethernet and vice versa.
.
Switches
35
Like hub, connectivity points of Ethernet network
Forward only to the port that connects to the destination device knows MAC address Match the MAC address in the data it receives.
Fully switched network, a dedicated segment for each device is connected to switch. Expensive.
Switches
36
Allow full duplex Ethernet Nodes only communicate with switch, never
directly to each other Use twisted pair or fiber optic cabling, using
separate conductors for sending and receiving data. collision pair is used to transmit data It was half duplex before – one device can transmit at one
given time, double the capacity, 100Mbps become 200Mbps
Most LAN are mixed with hubs and switches.

Switch routing method
38
Packet-based switches use one of the following method to route packet.
Cut-through Forward as soon as it received the destination
MAC – first 14 bytes Can cause propagation of error
Store-and-forward Error checked before being forwarded Errors are not propagated through network
Bad frames are discarded Error checking takes time. Considerably slower
Switch Routing Method
39
FragmentFree Take the advantage of both. Check errors by reading the first 64byte of packets
where collision most likely happens Offer near cut-through switching performance
Switch physical design
40
LAN switches vary in their physical design Shared-memory
Common buffer for all ports Matrix
Internal grid with input port and output crossing each other
First check MAC, then switch makes a connection where two ports (input/output) intersect
Bus-architecture Common-bus Dedicated buffer for each port and a circuit to
control the bus access
Switch and Transparent Bridging
41
Most LAN switches use transparent bridging to create address lookup tables
Transparent bridging is a technology that allows a switch to learn everything it needs to know about the location of nodes on the network within the network administrator having to do anything. Has five parts: Learning Flooding Filtering Forwarding Aging

Hub and switch cabling
44
To create larger networks, connect hubs and switches using Standard port with special cable Special ports with a standard cable
Standard port - Medium Dependent Interface-Crossed (MDI-X) Two wires are crossed internally
Medium Dependent Interface (MDI) To see each other as an extension, no signal to be
crossed Using crossover cable between two MDI-X
ports To uncross the internal crossing

Labeling schemes
Routers
46
Create larger networks by joining two networks segments.
Dedicated hardware device or computer systems with more than one network interface and routing software.
Routing table Static routing Dynamic routing
Use special routing protocols to pass info to other routers.
Distance Vector Routing (RIP) Link state routing (OSPF)
47
Switch and Router
• Different with router– Typically switch works on lower level (Data
link Layer) while Router works in higher level (Network Layer)
– Algorithms for router and switch about how to forward packers are different
• For example, switch will forward broadcast, so does hub, not router- the address has to be specific.
Routers and Layer 3 Switch
48
While most switches operate at the Data link layer(layer2), some incorporate features of a router and operate at the network layer (layer3).
Layer 3 switches are faster because they are build on “switching” hardware a router is needed for VLANS communication Why not build a router in the switch itself and do the
forwarding in hardware EX: IP forwarding – all in hardware
Route lookup Decrement the Time to Live (TTL) Recalculation the checksum Forward the frame the frame to correct output port
49
Gateways

Device Function/Purpose Key PointsHub Connects devices on a
twisted-pair network.A hub does not perform any tasks besides signal regeneration.
Switch Connects devices on a twisted-pair network.
A switch forwards data to its destination by using the MAC address embedded in each packet.
Bridge Divides networks to reduce overall network traffic.
A bridge allows or prevents data from passing through it by reading the MAC address.
Router Connects networks together. A router uses the software-configured network address to make forwarding decisions.
Gateway Translates from one data format to another.
Gateways can be hardware or software based. Any device that translates data formats is called a gateway.
CSU/DSU Translates digital signals used on a LAN to those used on a WAN.
CSU/DSU functionality is sometimes incorporated into other devices, such as a router with a WAN connection.
Network card Enables systems to connect to the network.
Network interfaces can be add-in expansion cards, PCMCIA cards, or built-in interfaces.
ISDN terminal adapter
Connects devices to ISDN lines.
ISDN is a digital WAN technology often used in place of slower modem links. ISDN terminal adapters are required to reformat the data format for transmission on ISDN links.
System area network card
Used in server clusters to provide connectivity between nodes.
System area network cards are high-performance devices capable of coping with the demands of clustering applications.
WAP Provides network capabilities to wireless network devices.
A WAP is often used to connect to a wired network, thereby acting as a link between wired and wireless portions of the network.
Modem Provides serial communication capabilities across phone lines.
Modems modulate the digital signal into analog at the sending end and perform the reverse function at the receiving end.
MAC addresses
