    2. Objectives • Describe the purpose and types of networks, protocols, and media access methods • Understand the basic configuration of TCP/IP • Configure a NIC interface to use TCP/IP Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    3. Objectives (continued) • Configure a modem, ISDN, and DSL interface to use PPP and TCP/IP • Understand the purpose of host names and how they are resolved to IP addresses • Use common network utilities to interact with network services Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    4. Networks and TCP/IP • Network: Two or more computers joined via network media and able to exchange information • Local Area Networks (LANs): Computers within close proximity • Wide Area Networks (WANs): Computers separated by large distances • Internet service provider (ISP): Company providing internet access Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    5. Networks and TCP/IP (continued) • Routers: Devices capable of transferring packets between networks • Protocols: Set of rules for communication between networked computers • Packets: Packages of data formatted by a network protocol • Media access method: Defines how networked computers share access to the physical medium Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    6. Networks and TCP/IP (continued) • Linux network protocols: • TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) • UDP/IP (User Datagram Protocol/Internet Protocol) • IPX/SPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequence Packet Exchange) • Appletalk • DLC (Data Link Control) • DECnet (Digital Equipment Corporation network) Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    7. Networks and TCP/IP (continued) • Ethernet: Most common network media access method • Token Ring: Popular media access method • Media access method usually contained on NIC or modem hardware Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    8. The TCP/IP Protocol:IP Addresses • IP address: Unique number that identifies a networked computer • Octets: Series of four 8-bit numbers • Unicast: Directed TCP/IP communication between two computers Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    9. The TCP/IP Protocol:IP Addresses (continued) • IP addresses composed of two parts: • Network ID: Network computer is located on • Host ID: Single computer on that network • Cannot have two computers with same host ID on a network • Only computers with same network ID can communicate without a router Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    10. Subnet Masks • Define which part of IP address is the network ID and which part is the host ID • Series of four 8-bit numbers • ANDing: Calculate network and host IDs from an IP address and subnet mask • Compare binary bits Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    11. Subnet Masks (continued) Figure 14-1: A sample IP address and subnet mask Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    12. Subnet Masks (continued) • 0.0.0.0 = all networks • 255.255.255.255 = all computers • 255 in an IP address can specify many hosts • Broadcast addresses Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    13. Default Gateway • IP address on router that sends packets to remote networks • Routers can distinguish between different networks • Move packets between them • Have assigned IP addresses on each attached network Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    14. TCP/IP Classes and Subnetting • IP address class defines default subnet mask of associated device • Multicast: TCP/IP communication destined for a certain group of computers • Class D addresses • Subnetting: Divide a large network into smaller networks • Control traffic flow • Take bits from host ID, give to network ID Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

Summary • A network is a collection of computers that are connected together and share information • Protocols define the format of information that is transmitted across a network • The protocol used by the Internet and most networks is TCP/IP • Each computer on a TCP/IP network must have a valid IP address and subnet mask Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    47. Summary (continued) • The /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory contains the configuration for NIC and PPP interfaces • The TCP/IP configuration of a network interface can be specified manually or obtained automatically from a DHCP or BOOTP server • Host names are used to easily identify computers on a network; host names that follow the DNS are FQDNs Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e

    48. Summary (continued) • Host names must be resolved to an IP address before network communication can take place • Files, applications, and e-mail can be accessed across the network with the appropriate network utility Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, 2e
