Installing Network Interface Cards
Types:– PCI and PCIe
• Normally plug ‘n’ play– USB
• Needs drivers to function as network adapter– PC Card/CardBus
• Normally plug ‘n’ play
![Page 4: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Configuring Network Interface Cards
Hardware Resources:– IRQ and I/O port address range
• In case of a need to resolve conflicts– Media type
• Normally only needs to be set on legacy cards with both RJ-45 and 10base2 or AUI connectors
– Full/Half Duplex• Usually set to “auto.”• Full Duplex can be selected for compatibility with full duplex-
only devices.• Half Duplex should be selected only for older systems or
older networks.

Configuring Network Interface Cards
Wireless Configuration Settings to consider– These must be matched between the Wireless
Access Point and the client NIC:• SSID• Channel• WEP
– WEP strength and WEP key• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
– WPA key and Encryption type• Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
– Not recommended
![Page 6: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Switches and Hubs
Hubs:– Older connection point for star topologies.– All devices share bandwidth.
• It is a broadcast device; no security possible. Switch:
– Reads and memorizes MAC addresses for more efficient networking.
– Each port isolates its bandwidth from other ports.– Can engage in port security.
Both switches and hubs can be connected together using a crossover cable:
– Some ports are marked as uplink ports and can use either a straight or crossover cable.
![Page 7: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Switched Network
This is a also known as a broadcast domain.– All hosts on this network can reach all other hosts without the
need for a default gateway address in their settings.
![Page 8: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Beyond LANs:Repeaters, Bridges, and Routers
Repeater:– Boosts signal strength to enable longer cable runs than those
permitted by the "official" cabling limits of Ethernet. – Hubs and switches can be used as repeaters.
Bridge /Switch:– Connects two segments of the same network that use the same
protocol to each other.– Normally connects hosts to rest of network.
Router:– Used to connect together multiple broadcast domains
(networks).– Can also be used to connect different types of networks
![Page 9: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Networking Configuration Installing network protocols in Windows:
– NetBEUI:• Can only be installed manually• Only useful on local broadcast domains
– TCPIP:• Available in all currently used versions of Windows• Two versions:
– IPv4 usually installed by default.– IPv6 installed by default on Vista and Windows 7
» Must be manually added to XP and earlier Installation accomplished from Network Connection
Properties:– In Vista Control Panel Network and Sharing Center
Manage Network Connections.– Right-click the connection, select Properties, click Install,
select the protocol, and click OK.

TCP/IPv4 Configuration
Settings to configure if static assignment is used:– IP address:
• Network administrator assigns this– Subnet mask:
• Default may be displayed; need to verify– DNS server address:
• Administrator may provide; can be obtained automaticall.– Default gateway:
• Required for going to other networks and Internet– WINS configuration:
• Not used on modern networks
![Page 11: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
TCPIP Properties DHCP Versus Static IP Configuration
![Page 12: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
TCP/IP Configuration with a DHCP Server
DHCP servers provide:– IP addresses from a preset pool of addresses to clients who
request them– Other settings information, such as DNS server and default
gateway address
DHCP client side is configured from Local Area Connection:
– Properties TCP/IP Properties.– To use DHCP, set it to Obtain an IP Address Automatically.
• This is the TCP/IP Properties installation default setting.– DNS can still be manually configured if necessary.
![Page 13: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Advanced TCP/IP
Configuration
![Page 14: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Anatomy of an IP Address
Two parts:– Network part (on left side)– Host part (on right side)
Network part is defined by the subnet mask:– Subnet mask can be
• Predefined by the address class (a default mask)• Assigned by the network administrator
The length of the subnet mask determines the network number:
– Example: 10.2.3.4 subnet mask 255.0.0.0• The network number is 10.
– Example: 192.168.3.4, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0• The network number is 192.168.3.0.
![Page 15: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
IP Address Classes The following address classes are the ones that addresses are
generally assigned from. These numbers are controlled by IANA, a public organization in charge of the Internet numbering scheme.
Class First Octet Range
Starting IP Ending IP Default Subnet Mask
A 1‒127 0.0.0.0 127.255.255.255 255.0.0.0
B 128‒191 128.0.0.0 191.255.255.255 255.255.0.0
C 192‒223 192.0.0.1 223.255.255.255 255.255.255.0
D 224‒239 224.0.0.1 239.255.255.255 Specially Assigned
![Page 16: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Reserved Addresses Private Address Ranges:
– 10.0.0.0–10.255.255.255– 172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255– 192.168.0.0–192.168.255.255
Loopback Address:– 127.0.0.1
APIPA Address Range:– 169.254.0.0–169.254.255.255
Multicast Addresses:– 224.0.0.0–224.255.255.255
• Various addresses in this range are reserved for networking and routing protocols.
![Page 17: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
APIPA
Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) If a client cannot obtain an IP address, it can provide
itself one from a defined pool of addresses. Addresses come from the 169.254.0.0 network.
– Host machine will randomly choose a number to fill in the last two octets.
– It will try to reach this number (PING).• If no duplicated response is received, it keeps the
self-assigned number.• If a duplicated response is received, it chooses
another random number. Useful for networks where DHCP server is down.
![Page 18: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
IPv6 Addressing 128-bits, separated into (8)16-bit sections separated by colons
– Example: 21DA:00D3:0000:2F3B:02AA:00FF:FE28:9C5A Can be shortened by eliminating leading zeroes
– Example: 21DA:D3:0:2F3B:2AA:FF:FE28:9C5A Can be further shortened by using a single :: to represent a
section of zeroes
– Example: 21DA:D3::2F3B:2AA:FF:FE28:9C5A Different prefixes indicate different types of addresses
– If it starts with a 2, it is a global unicast address– ::1 = loopback address– FE80::/64 = APIPA address

Network and Internet Troubleshooting
Duplicate IP address Slow network performance
– Check for bad or damaged cables.– Hub bandwidth saturation.– Mismatches of 10Mbps and 100Mbps devices.– Wireless signal channel overlaps.
Problems connecting to printers– Check UNC path.
Browser issues– Check Internet options.
• Proxy server.• Security settings
![Page 34: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Troubleshooting on the Network
Any host wanting to reach a host on another network will be required to go through the router, which is the address known as the default gateway”
![Page 35: A+ Certification Guide Chapter 16 (Part B) Networking.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0101a28abf838ccaedb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What Have You Learned? Where would a technician go to change an IP address to
a static configuration? If a user cannot get to the Internet, what might you want
to check first? How do you map a remote drive to a user’s desktop? What might be a problem with having a printer server
obtain its IP address automatically? What command-line tool can you use to report a user’s
TCPIP settings? How do you check to see if there is a connection to
another machine?

Reflection
You have been asked to examine the IP address of a node and report if there is a problem. Here is the information gained from the command ipconfig:
IP address: 192.168.2.3 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.1.1 Ask: "Is there a problem with this configuration?"
