Networks
2
The basic components
of a network:
• Connections (Physical Medium)
• Protocols (Common language)
• Services (Clients, Servers, and
Files)
3
The Client is the computer
requesting the use of a resource.

In some networks, every computer
acts as both Client and Server.

Peer-to-Peer Network
• No centralized data access.
• Security handled by assigning
each resource a password.
8
Peer-to-peer works best with a a
small number of computers.
9
One computer can act as server
for several clients.

Client/Server Network
• Centralized data access.
• Centralized security.
• Centralized administration,
record keeping, and control.
11
Larger networks require the
client/server arrangement.
12
The Physical Medium is the
channel the data travels
between computers.
Physical MediumPhysical Medium
Client Server
13
The Physical Media can be:
• Wire
• Fiber Optic Cable
• Wireless Link (RF or Infrared)
• Hardware devices such as
network cards, hubs, routers, etc.
14
The common language is the
Network Protocol.

15
Protocol
• A signed document containing the
record of the points on which
agreement has been reached by
negotiating parties.
• The code of ceremonial forms and
courtesies accepted as proper and
correct in official dealings.
16
In Networking, Protocols are:
• Agreements that describe how things
work.
• Industry-wide frameworks that
describe every aspect of
communications between computers.
• Grouped together into Protocol
Suites.
17
The main Protocol Suites:
• NetBEUI – Small Microsoft networks.
• SPX/IPX – Primarily Novell networks.
• TCP/IP – Must be used if the network is to connect to the Internet.
18
One of the most basic
ways to classify networks
is by their topology.
19
Topology refers to the
way the computers in the
network are connected to
each other.
20
The most common
topologies are:
• Bus
• Star
• Ring
• Mesh
21
Bus Topology
―T‖―T‖ ―Backbone‖―Backbone‖
22
Bus Topology
• A single cable interconnects all workstations.
• The cable is terminated at both ends.
23
Star Topology
24
Star Topology
All workstations connect to a single central hub.
25
Ring Topology
26
Ring Topology
• Backbone is a ring.
• Each workstation connects only to two other
workstations.
27
Mesh Topology

The Internet is an example of a Mesh
topology.

30
Another way of
classifying networks is
by their size or
geographical span.
31
The most common size
classifications are the:
• Local Area Network (LAN)
• Metropolitan Area Network
(MAN)
• Wide Area Network (WAN)

Components
• Network Operating System
• Interface Cards
• Cables
37
Network Operating System
(NOS)
vs.
desktop Operating System
(OS)
38
NOS provides improved
security• User-level Security
• Server authenticates:
– User name
– User password
– User location
• Server determines which resources the user may access.
• Simplifies security for the user.
39
The NOS allows sensitive
resources to be maintained in a
centralized/secure location.
40
The NOS provides
improved performance.
• Client is relieved of the burden
of server
• Server can be optimized
• Adds administration and
management capabilities.
41
The NOS provides
better administration.
• Centralized security
• Centralized data
• Consistent policies
• Administrative tools
• Accountability
42
The NOS allows scalability
• The client/server network grows gracefully.
• A server may handle over 50 clients.
• Additional servers can be added.
• Specialized servers
– File server
– Print server
– Communications Server
43
Disadvantages of the NOS
• More expensive
• More complex
• Requires administration.
44
Major Network
Operating Systems
• Unix
• Novell NetWare
• Windows NT Server
45
Unix
• Multitasking, Multi-user OS
• Influential in evolution of the Internet
• Uses TCP/IP
• Clients communicate with Server using
Terminal Emulation
46
Linux
• Smaller, easier to use version of Unix
• Easily adapted to individual computers
or as server in a small network
• Uses the command line as the user
interface.
• Offered with a graphical user interface.
47
Novell’s NetWare
• Text-based operating system
• Supports all Windows-based
client computer operating systems
• IPX/SPX is the primary NetWare
protocol
48
Windows NT
• 32-bit network operating system
• First to use a graphical user interface
• Not as feature-rich as Unix and
NetWare
• Supports a wide range of network
clients
49
The Network Interface
Card is also called:
• The Network Card
• The Network Adapter
• The Network Adapter Card
• The NIC
50
The NIC is the main interface
between the computer and the
network cable.

Considerations when
selecting the NIC:
• Type of cable connection
• Type of Address/Data Bus
• The method used to configure the
card.

56
Installing the NIC in
the computer.
• NIC installed inside the computer.
• Normally plugs into a bus slot.
• Some are built right into the motherboard.
• Plug-in boards must be configured correctly.
57
NIC Configuration Methods
• Plug-and-Play
• EEPROM
• Jumper pins
58
Preparing to Install the NIC
• Ensure there is an open bus slot.
• Ensure the adapter is compatible.
• Ensure there are system resources available.
• Ensure all installation items are available.
• Ensure all software is available.
59
Installing the NIC Hardware
• Configure the NIC to available resources.
• Use a ground strap.
• Remove cover from the computer.
• Remove rear panel slot cover plate.
• Remove card from its antistatic bag and immediately plug it into motherboard.
• Secure card slot cover plate to computer.
60
Installing the NIC Software
• Loading the device driver used
by the NIC.
• Loading any utilities supplied
with the NIC.
61
NIC Device Driver
• Supports communication between
the NIC and OS.
• Automatically installed and
configured if both NIC and OS
support PnP.
• In other cases, driver loaded from
floppy or CD supplied with NIC.
62
A more recent device
driver may be available
at the website of the NIC
manufacturer.
63
Troubleshooting the NIC
• Is NIC talking to the
motherboard?
• Is the NIC working internally?
• Is the NIC communicating with
the external network?

Carrier Sense
Multiple Access/
Collision Detection
(CSMA/CD)
105
Carrier Sense
• Each computer attached to the
network examines the cable before
transmitting.
• If it senses traffic on the cable, it
waits until the traffic clears before
transmitting.
106
Multiple Access
• All computers on the network have equal access to the cable.
• A lowly desktop has the same access as the Windows NT Server.
• Access is on a first-come, first-served basis.
• The only consideration is: ―Is someone else using the cable?‖
107
