CCNA – Semester3Module 4Switching ConceptsObjectives• Introduction to Ethernet/802.3 LAN• Introduction to LAN switching• Switch operationIntroduction to Ethernet/802.3 LANCollisions in Ethernet• Collisions are a by-product of Ethernetnetworks.• This indicates that the network has become toocongested or too many users are trying toaccess the network at the same time.Layer 2 SwitchesLayer 2 and layer 3• The disadvantage of Layer 2 devices is that theyforward broadcast frames to all connecteddevices on the network.• When the number of broadcasts in a network isexcessive, sluggish network response timesresult.• The router makes decisions based on groups ofnetwork addresses, or classes, as opposed toindividual Layer 2 MAC addresses.Routers• The purpose of a router is to do all of thefollowing:– Examine incoming packets of Layer 3 data– Choose the best path for them through the network– Switch them to the proper outgoing port• Routers are not compelled to forwardbroadcasts.• Routers are the most important traffic regulatingdevices on large networks.Factors that impact network performance• The multitasking environment present in currentdesktop operating systems allows forsimultaneous network transactions.• Network intensive applications such as theWorld Wide Web is increasing.• Client/server applicationsEthernet/802.3 InterfaceCSMA/CD AlgorithmHost wantsto transmitBroadcastjam signalIs carriersensed?AssembleframeStarttransmittingIsa collisiondetected?attempts =attempts + 1Attempts> toomany?Wait fort secondsAlgorithmcalculatebackoffKeeptransmittingIstransmissiondone?Too manycollisions;

is on different segmentFilters if dest. is on the same segmentFrame transmission modes• Another transmission mode (hybrid mode) is calledadaptive cut-through, the switch uses cut-throughuntil it detects a given number of errors. Once theerror threshold is reached, the switch changes tostore-and-forward mode.Intersubnet••Challenge: intersubnet communicationSolution: use routers or add Layer 3 capability to switchSwitches and workstationSummary•••••••Collisions in an Ethernet networkElements affecting network performanceThe basic operations of a switchSymmetric and asymmetric switchingMajor switch frame transmission modesThe process by which switches learn addressesMicrosegmentation using switchingCCNA3 – Module4.
Характеристики
Тип файла PDF
PDF-формат наиболее широко используется для просмотра любого типа файлов на любом устройстве. В него можно сохранить документ, таблицы, презентацию, текст, чертежи, вычисления, графики и всё остальное, что можно показать на экране любого устройства. Именно его лучше всего использовать для печати.
Например, если Вам нужно распечатать чертёж из автокада, Вы сохраните чертёж на флешку, но будет ли автокад в пункте печати? А если будет, то нужная версия с нужными библиотеками? Именно для этого и нужен формат PDF - в нём точно будет показано верно вне зависимости от того, в какой программе создали PDF-файл и есть ли нужная программа для его просмотра.
