An IP Network - Overview
• An IPv4 Network – Network Address • Layer 3 (OSI Model) address • Number of bits • Classes A, B, C • Structure – network, host • Network mask – Types of Address • Network • Host • Broadcast – What is a gateway address?
3

An IP Network - Overview
• The devices: Router, Switch, PC • Role of the Router • Role of the Switch • ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) – MAC address – Layer 2 (OSI Model)address – the mapping of a Layer 3 to Layer 2 address • The cables: UTP, Serial • The Interface: FastEthernet, Serial – What is an interface? – What is its purpose? – How is it identified? – DTE or DCE?

An IP Network - Overview
• How do IP packets travel between networks? – The Routing Table – Building a Routing table using Static Routes

Building a Network - Packet Tracer
• A simulation product for designing, and testing a network before implementation on the actual hardware devices. • For personal use, can be downloaded from Blackboard or the Cisco Network Academy
• In Lab – Logon on to PC using your student account

– Run Packet Tracer

• Build the ABC Electronics Network using Packet Tracer
