Chapter 1:Introduction to Networks and Networking Concepts

Learning Objectives • Understand basic networked communications and services • Identify essential network components • Describe the benefits of networking • Understand and compare peer-to-peer and server-based networks • Apply your knowledge when selecting an appropriate network type for small business use • Suggest possible redesigns for a small but expanding network Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

What is Networking? • Connecting computers to share information and resources • Complex and varied technology • Many choices for physical connections and related software Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Networking Fundamentals • As simple as two computers connected with a cable that can transmit data • Allows users to share data quickly and efficiently • Access to shared peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, and fax machines Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Advantages of Networks • Allow groups of users to exchange information and share data • Allow easy and efficient communication among individuals, including electronic mail (e-mail) • Device sharing can reduce costs Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Standalone Computer and a “Sneakernet” • Standalone computer • Single computer not attached to a network • Cannot match power and convenience of network • “Sneakernet” • Passing floppy disk from machine to machine • Old alternative to networking Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Sharing Resources on a Simple Network • Networking computers allows them to: • Share data • Access shared printer and other equipment Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Local Area Networks (LANs) and Internetworks • Early networks – custom-built, expensive, severe restrictions • Early Ethernet – no more than 30 users with total span of 607 feet • Local area network (LAN) – works within limited geographic area • Building block for constructing larger networks, called internetworks • Internetwork – network 100 or more computers at distances in excess of 1000 feet Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Wide Area Networks (WANs) and the Internet • Wide area network (WAN) – spans distances measured in miles; links two or more separate LANS • Metropolitan area network(MAN) – uses WAN technology to interconnect LANs within a specific geographic region • Internet – global WAN internetwork; includes millions of machines and users worldwide Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

A Networking Lexicon • Must understand specialized networking vocabulary, including • Server — shares resources across network, typically with more central processing unit (CPU) power and storage capacity than other computers • Client — accesses shared resources • Request-response — client requests information; server responds by providing information • Client-server relationship — client makes a request to the server, and the server responds with requested data • Peer-to-peer — computers share and request resources from one another Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Client-Server Relationship Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Network Medium Carries Network Messages • Computers share access to common network medium that carries signals from one computer to another • Medium may be physical cable, such as twisted pair, coaxial, or fiber-optic • Medium may be wireless • Physical interface to medium is usually network interface card (NIC) or network adapter • Kind of medium dictates type of connector and limits number and type of devices as well as distance a single LAN can span Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Network Protocols • Network protocols – a common set of rules • Define how to interpret signals, identify individual computers, initiate and end networked communication, and manage information exchange across network medium • Include TCP/IP, NetBEUI, IPX/SPX, and NWLink Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Network Software • Network software issues requests and responses • Network operating system (NOS) controls which computers and users access network resources • Include both client and server components • Popular NOSs include Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Novell NetWare • Network applications access the network • Include e-mail programs, Web browsers, and network-oriented utilities Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Network Services • Services include file and print services, file-sharing, e-mail, and other capabilities • Network communications are layered • Network applications use NOS or client networking software to get network protocol to access medium • Medium exchanges information with other computers • Figure 1-4 shows layers of networking process • Simulation 1-1 shows animated depiction of the layered networking process Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Layers of the Networking Process Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Network Types • Two major types of networks • Peer-to-peer • Client/Server (also called server-based) Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Peer-to-Peer Networking • Peers with no centralized control over shared resources • Can share resources with any other computer on network • No computer has higher access priority • No computer has more responsibility to provide or shared resources • Figure 1-5 shows typical peer-to-peer network Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Peer-to-Peer Network Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Peer-to-Peer Networking Advantages • Easy to install and configure • No dedicated server • Users control own shared resources • Inexpensive to purchase and operate • No additional equipment or software • No dedicated administrators • Works best with 10 or fewer users Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Peer-to-Peer Networking Disadvantages • Security applies to single resource at a time • Users may have many different passwords • Must back up each machine individually • Machine sharing resources may suffers reduced performance • No centralized organization scheme to locate or control access to data • Does not usually work well with more than 10 users Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Server-Based Networks • Server responds to client requests • Figure 1-6 shows a typical server-based network • Provide centralized control over resources • Servers require faster CPUs, more memory, larger disk drives, and extra peripherals such as tape drives • May be dedicated, handling only requests from client communities Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Server-Based Networks (continued) Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Server-Based Networks (continued) • One or more servers may do centralized verification of user accounts and passwords • Novell and Windows servers use a directory service • Checks account names and passwords against database • Manage shared resources • Windows 2000/2003 calls it Active Directory • Novell NetWare calls it Novell Directory Services (NDS) Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Server-Based Networks (continued) • Easier to scale • May handle thousands of users Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Server-Based Networking Advantages • Simplifies network administration • Centralizes user accounts, security, and access controls • More powerful equipment • More efficient access to network resources • Single password for network logon • Best choice for networks with 10 or more users or network with heavily-used resources Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Server-Based Networking Disadvantages • At worst, server failure renders network unusable • At least, server failure causes loss of network resources • More expensive • Requires expert staff to handle complex server software • Requires dedicated hardware and specialized software Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Storage-Area Networks (SANs) • Uses high-speed network links between servers in enterprise and centralized storage systems • Data and applications reside on centralized storage • Sideband link connecting SAN components is completely separate from network that links clients and servers • Figure 1-7 shows typical storage area network Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Storage-Area Networks (continued) Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Storage-Area Networks (continued) • Provide centralized control over network storage • Much more expensive than conventional storage Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Storage-Area Networks (continued) • Offer many advantages, including: • Fast access to SAN storage • Backups from single location • Fastest, more reliable storage subsystems, including hot-swappable power supplies and disk drives • Extra level of security and access control • Easier to increase storage capacity Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) • Short-range networking technology used to connect personal computing and communication devices • Include devices that user wears or comes in close contact with • Cell phones, pagers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and even watches • Short range transmission, typically 10 meters or less • Use secure access method Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) (continued) • No single standard exists for PANs • Ericcson developed short-range networking technology called Bluetooth • Emerging standard is IEEE802.15, dubbed wireless personal area network (WPAN) Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Hybrid Networks • Combination networks • Workstations function simultaneously as peers on a peer-to-peer network and as clients on server-based networks • Modern operating systems can function both as peers and as clients • Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows XP Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Server Hardware Requirements • Equip server with fastest CPU, as much RAM as possible, as much disk space as it will hold, and fastest NIC available • Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 handle up to 32 CPUs in single system • Specialized versions handle 64 or more processors Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Server Hardware Requirements (continued) • Table 1-1 shows minimum and recommended hardware requirements for Windows 98, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 • Industry consensus on recommended values appear in parentheses Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Application Servers • Supply server side of client/server applications • Provide processing service and handle requests for file or print services • Example: database server supplies query-processing and data-analysis facilities; repository for huge amounts of data within database Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Communication Servers • Allow users outside network to access network’s resources (inbound communications) • Sometimes permit users on network to access resources outside network (outbound communications) • Users may dial into network with modem • Example: Windows 2000/2003 Server includes Remote Routing and Access Server (RRAS) Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Domain Controllers/Directory Servers • Let users locate, store, and secure information about network and its resources • Windows Servers combine computers, users, groups, and resources into logical domains Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Domain Controllers/Directory Servers (continued) • Domain controller or directory server handles logon service • By logging onto domain, user has access to all permitted resources and information • Windows 2000/2003 Server and NetWare 4.x and newer versions include software to let server function as domain controller or directory server • Linux directory service is called NIS Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Fax Servers • Manage fax traffic on network • Receive incoming faxes via telephone • Distribute faxes to recipients • Collect outgoing faxes to send via telephone • Must have at least one fax modem interface • Third-party vendors supply software to create Windows, NetWare, or Linux-based fax servers Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

File and Print Servers • Provide basic network file storage and retrieval • Provide access to networked printers • Users run applications locally but keep data files on server and print hard-copies • Any Windows, NetWare, or Linux server can act as file and print server Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Mail Servers • Handle e-mail messages • Provide “store and forward” services • Hold incoming e-mail messages until users access them • Can hold outgoing e-mail messages until forwarded to their destinations • Microsoft Exchange Server runs on Windows 2000/2003; NetWare and Linux use other e-mail server programs Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Web Servers • Has gained popularity faster than any other single service • Many companies use WWW and TCP/IP protocol to distribute information via the Internet • May set up Web server to handle Internet traffic • Windows .NET Server and Windows 2000 Server include Internet Information Server (IIS), a complete Web server • NetWare versions 4.x and 5.x include Netscape Web server • Apache Web server is available free for Linux Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Web-Based Networks • Internet and the WWW are becoming part of our everyday lives • Most computers are connected to Internet • Handheld devices such as cell phones and PDAs are connected through wireless communications • Cable modems and high-speed connections are common at work and home • New technologies such as Microsoft .NET will further integrate Web into our lives so that the Web is the network Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

.NET Computing • Uses Web to deliver information and applications; allows devices to communicate and share data • Permits handheld computers to transfer information to and from network server using the Web • Allows transfer of information with unprecedented ease and convenience Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Web-Enabled Devices • WPANs include many Web-enabled devices that can transmit information via the Internet • Other devices are becoming Web-enabled such as automobiles with wireless navigation systems • Networking paradigm is shifting from clients and servers to Web-enabled or not Web-enabled • Client will be any Web-enabled device that needs information • Server will be any Web-enabled device that provides information Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Selecting the Right Type of Network • Choose peer-to-peer networking only if all these conditions are true: • Network includes no more than 10 users • All networked machines are close enough to form a single LAN • Budget considerations are paramount • No specialized servers are needed Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Selecting the Right Type of Network (continued) • Choose server-based network when one or more of the following conditions is true: • More than 10 users share network access • Centralized control, security, resource management, or backup is desirable • Need specialized servers • Heavy demands for network resources • Use Internetwork or require WAN access Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition

Selecting the Right Type of Network (continued) • Consider future growth • Even if peer-to-peer network serves current needs, may be best to implement server-based network Guide to Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition
