25 March 2015 - ITE

Wrapping up Chapter 5 - Operating Systems

The quarter ends this Friday.   I will accept test corrections for Chapter 5.  Review each missed question and write a short response with the correct answer.  You may physically turn it in or share with grover.comptech@gmail.com by Friday.  

If you need to take the test, make arrangements with me to come in during a study hall or after school.

Introduction to Networking

This one of my favorite chapters!

We will be learning:

  •     The Principles of networking
  • Types of Networks
  • Basic networking concepts and technologies
  • physical components of a network
  • topologies
  • ethernet standards
  • OSI and TCP/IP model
  • configure a NIC
  • technologies used for connectivity
  • network PMs
  • troubleshooting networks

Today's focus will be:

  • What is network?
  • What are the benefits of networking?
  • Does it have drawbacks?
  • Types of networks - We will cover 7 types.
New Terms:
  • network
  • compper cable
  • fiber-optic cable
  • host
  • wireless connection
  • internet
  • LAN
  • PAN
  • WLAN
  • MAN
  • WAN
  • network administration
  • peer to peer computing
  • client/server network
  • QoS

24 March 2014 - Routing

We are going old school today .... The Netacad.com site is down.

Todays topics:

crossover cables - build one

Router boot up process

reading the show version output

     look at wikipedia Cisco IOS for further info on understanding versions

static vs dynamic routing
     Routing Tables
      reading the show ip route command

encapsulation  HDLC, Frame Relay, PPP
hdlc, ppp, frame relay


Routing Protocols:

primary object is to determine the best patch to include in the routing table

May use one of the following metrics:  Hop Count (RIP) or Bandwidth (OSPF)

Path Determination:
     Directly connected network  (destination address in on same network as interface)
     Remote network (destination is on a remote network - packet forwarded to another router)
     No route determined (drops packet, send ICMP unreachable message to source)

The switching function of the router accepts the packet on one interface and forwards it out another.

          decapsulates layer 3 packet removing Layer 2 frame header and trailer
          examines IP address to find best route
          encapsulates Layer 3 packet in new Layer 2 frame and sends it out

     Layer 3 packet does not change except for the TTL.  Layer 2 updates source and destination data-link addresses.
