Ethernet LANs
Rick Graziani [email protected] 7
LAN – Local Area Network
• LAN (Local Area Network) - A network connecting computers at a single site
Rick Graziani [email protected] 8
LAN – Local Area Network
• A LAN:– Operates within a limited geographical area– Controlled by local administration– Allows local users to:
• Share printers• Access local file servers with software and data• Access the Internet
Rick Graziani [email protected] 9
Ethernet LANs
• The most common LAN technology is Ethernet.
• Ethernet allows computers, printers, and other devices, “in the same network”, to be able to communicate.
• For devices to be able to communicate with each other over an Ethernet network, they must be configured with:– IP Address and Subnet Mask on the same network– What??? (We will discuss this shortly)
Rick Graziani [email protected] 10
Creating an Ethernet Network
• To start, your computer must have an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC).
• Ethernet NICs have an RJ-45 interface or port.
Rick Graziani [email protected] 11
Creating an Ethernet Network
• Hubs and Switches are used to connect computers, printers and other devices in the Ethernet LAN.
Rick Graziani [email protected] 12
Creating an Ethernet Network
• Ethernet cables, i.e. Cat-5 or Cat-6 cables (Category 5, Category 6) are used to connect computers to the hubs and switches.
• Cat-5 cable connects computer NIC to hub or switch.

Configuring IP (Internet Protocol)
Rick Graziani [email protected] 15
IP Configuration
• To communicate with other computers on your network you need to properly configure:– IP Address (of your computer)– Subnet Mask (of your computer)
• To communicate with computers outside your network you need to properly configure:– Default Gateway IP Address
• To be able to use domain names, like www.cabrillo.edu, instead of IP addresses you need to properly configure:– DNS (Domain Name System)
Server IP Address
Rick Graziani [email protected] 16
IP Configuration: IP Address & Mask
• To communicate with other computers on your network you need to properly configure:– IP Address (of your computer)– Subnet Mask (of your computer)
• IP – Internet Protocol• IP Address is the unique address of
your computer on your network.• Subnet Mask is used by your computer
to figure out what network it belongs to.• Analogy:
– Name: RICKGRAZIANI– Mask: FFFFLLLLLLLL– The Mask tells us which part of
RICKGRAZIANI is the first name (F) and which part is the last name (L).
I am part of the 192.168.1.0 network!
Rick Graziani [email protected] 17
IP Configuration: Default Gateway
• To communicate with computers outside your network you need to properly configure:– Default Gateway IP Address
Rick Graziani [email protected] 18
IP Configuration: Default Gateway
• Default Gateway or Router: This is the device that connects your network to other networks, including the Internet.
Switch ports that connect to computers on your LAN
DSL or Cable Modem port that connects to your Internet Service Provider
Rick Graziani [email protected] 19
IP Configuration: Default Gateway
• Any information that needs to be sent to IP Addresses outside your network is sent to the Default Gateway or Router.
To the Internet192.168.1.10
192.168.1.1
Rick Graziani [email protected] 20
IP Configuration: DNS
• To be able to use domain names, like www.cabrillo.edu, instead of IP addresses you need to properly configure:– DNS (Domain Name System)
Server IP Address
207.62.87.54
Rick Graziani [email protected] 21
IP Configuration: DNS• You could use IP Addresses when accessing other computers, but we
would rather use names (domain names).
Rick Graziani [email protected] 22
IP Configuration: DNS
• Computer networks only understand IP Addresses such as: – 66.94.230.47
• Computer networks do not understand domain names such as:– www.yahoo.com– A domain name is a name that is entered into a computer (e.g. as
part of a website or other URL, or an email address) and then looked up in the global [Domain Name System] which informs the computer of the IP address(es) with that name. (Wikipedia.com)
• People are better with names than numbers, so we would rather use names when:– Accessing a web page: www.yahoo.com– Emailing a friend: [email protected]
• DNS (Domain Name System) servers (computers) are used to translate domain names to IP Addresses.
Rick Graziani [email protected] 23
IP Configuration: DNS
Hey, 207.62.87.54, what is the IP Address for www.yahoo.com?
It is 66.94.230.47
Yahoo Web Server
Hey, 66.94.230.47, please send me your web page.
Here, 192.168.1.10, here is my web page.
Rick Graziani [email protected] 24
IP Configuration: DNS
• The details of how DNS works.
• If your DNS server does not know the answer, it will find out for you.

Setting the IP Configuration Information
• IP information can be configured:– Statically– Dynamically
• Using a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server
Rick Graziani [email protected] 29
IP Configuration: Static Configuration
• Static configuration is when the user or administrator of the computer configures the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Server information.
Rick Graziani [email protected] 30
IP Configuration: Dynamic Configuration
• Dynamic configuration is when the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Server information is obtained automatically from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server.
Rick Graziani [email protected] 31
IP Configuration: Dynamic Configuration
I’m booting up, if there is a DHCP Server out there, I need my IP Configuration Information!

The Internet and TCP/IP
Rick Graziani [email protected] 33
What is the Internet?
• The Internet was originally designed by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) in response to the U.S.S.R. launching Sputnik, the first satellite.
• Out of this came the Internet, a way for computers to communicate from different parts of the world.
• These computers can be any type of computer using any type of operating system, as long as they are using the protocol TCP/IP.
Rick Graziani [email protected] 34
What is TCP/IP? What is a protocol?
• A protocol is nothing more than an agreement or rules to govern a way of communicating.
• The sender and receiver, and everyone in between, must agree on the rules, the protocol.
The actual letter (data) is inside (encapsulated) the envelope.
Rick Graziani [email protected] 35
What is TCP/IP? What is a protocol?
• Protocol: An agreed form of communications.
Rick Graziani [email protected] 36
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol
• TCP/IP is a suite of protocols.• IP (Internet Protocol) is used for sender and receiver addressing.• Every computer on the Internet or a network must have an IP
address to communicate.

Connecting Networks with Routers
• The Internet, or simply the Net, is the publicly accessible worldwide system of interconnected computer networks.
• Routers are network devices that connect two or more networks together.
• Routers connect networks.

DSL or Cable Modem: No Router
204.180.205.1 Public Address
Hacker can only get to public address and not private address
DSL or Cable Modem
• Routers can help protect your DSL or Cable Modem Network.
Rick Graziani [email protected] 42
DSL or Cable Modem: With a Router
• The router is between your computer (LAN) and your DSL Modem.
• The router is between you and the Internet.

Networks: Bandwidth and Connections
• Local Area Networks
• DSL
• Cable Modem
• Leased Lines
• Modems
Rick Graziani [email protected] 45
Bandwidth
• Bandwidth - The amount of information that can flow through a network connection in a given period of time.
• Usually measured in bits per second (bps)– bps: bits per second– Kbps: thousands of bits per second– Mbps: millions of bits per second
Rick Graziani [email protected] 46
Bandwidth
LANs: 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps (or more)
Connection to ISP (Internet Service Provider)Note: Bandwidth depends up provider, location, and service plan.• DSL:
– Download: 600 Kbps to 1.5 Mbps (or more)– Upload: 256 Kbps (or more)
• Cable Modem: – Download: 600 Kbps to 3.0 Mbps (or more)– Upload: 256 Kbps (or more)
• Telephone Modem:– Up to 53 Kbps
• Leased Lines– T1: 1.5 Mbps– T3: 44.736 Mbps
Rick Graziani [email protected] 47
Connection to ISP: DSL
• DSL (digital subscriber line) is a very high-speed connection that uses the same wires as a regular telephone line.
Rick Graziani [email protected] 48
DSL: From HowStuffWorks.com
• Advantages of DSL: – You can leave your Internet connection open and still use the
phone line for voice calls. – The speed is much higher than a regular modem – DSL doesn't necessarily require new wiring; it can use the phone
line you already have. – The company that offers DSL will usually provide the modem as
part of the installation.
• But there are disadvantages: – A DSL connection works better when you are closer to the
provider's central office. – The connection is faster for receiving data than it is for sending
data over the Internet. – The service is not available everywhere.
Rick Graziani [email protected] 49
Connection to ISP: Cable Modem
• A cable modem is a special type of modem that is designed to modulate a data signal over cable television infrastructure.
Rick Graziani [email protected] 50
Connection to ISP: Telephone Modem
• A telephone modem is used to modulate and demodulate (translate) between the digital signals of the computer and the analog signals over the telephone line.
• Maximum bandwidth is only 53 Kbps.
• Need separate phone line if you want to use the phone while connected to the Internet

IPv4 and IPv6 Addressing
No handout
IPv4• 32 bits or 4 bytes
• 4,200,000,000 possible addressable nodes• 4 billion possible addresses
53
Who assigns IP Network Addresses?
• Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) (http://www.iana.net) is the master holder of the IP addresses.
• Today, the remaining IPv4 address space has been allocated to various other registries to manage for particular purposes or for regional areas. – Regional Internet Registries (RIRs)
54
Regional Internet Registries (RIR)
• The 5 Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) are:– AfriNIC (African Network Information Centre) - Africa Region
http://www.afrinic.net– APNIC (Asia Pacific Network Information Centre) - Asia/Pacific Region
http://www.apnic.net– ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) - North America Region
http://www.arin.net– LACNIC (Regional Latin-American and Caribbean IP Address Registry) -
Latin America and some Caribbean Islands http://www.lacnic.net– RIPE NCC (Reseaux IP Europeans) - Europe, the Middle East, and Central
Asia http://www.ripe.net
55
• Most companies or organizations obtain their IPv4 address blocks from an ISP (Internet Service Provider).
ISP (Internet Service Providers)
56
Private IPv4 Addresses
• In early 1990’s IANA and IETF recognized that the we were running out of IPv4 addresses.
• Long term solution: IPv6
• Short Term solution:– Private Addresses and Network Address Translation
(NAT)
57
Private IPv4 Addresses
• Private Addresses– 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0 /8)– 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0 /12)– 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 (192.168.0.0 /16)
• The addresses will not be routed in the Internet– Need NAT (Network Address Translation)
Rick Graziani [email protected] 58
NAT – Network Address TranslationPAT – Port Address Translation
Private Addresses Public Address
• Monday, January 31, 2011 IANA allocated two blocks of IPv4 address space to APNIC, the RIR for the Asia Pacific region (39/8 and 106/8)
• IANA has no more IPv4 network addresses to allocate
• RIR’s Remaining IPv4 addresses
IPv6 addresses are 128-bit addresses represented in:
Eight 16-bit segments or “hextets” (not a formal term)
Hexadecimal (non-case sensitive) between 0000 and FFFF
Separated by colons
One Hex digit = 4 bits
2001:0DB8:AAAA:1111:0000:0000:0000:0100/64
2001 : 0DB8 : AAAA : 1111 : 0000 : 0000 : 0000 : 0100
16 bits 16 bits 16 bits 16 bits 16 bits 16 bits 16 bits 16 bits
How many addresses does 128 bits give us?
340 undecillion addesses or …
340 trillion trillion trillion addresses or …
“IPv6 could provide each and every square micrometer of the earth’s surface with 5,000 unique addresses. Micrometer = 0.001 mm or 0.000039 inches” or….
“A string of soccer balls would wrap around our universe 200 billion times!”
When will RIR’s run out of IPv4 Addresses?
