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
