14. TCP/IP  A set of Protocols to allow computers on different networks to communicate  Used to access the Internet  PC Requires:  An IP Address  Subnet Mask  Default Gateway  This information is obtained from the network administrator

15. TCP/IP Configuration

16. TCP/IP Testing Ping  A protocol used to test TCP/IP Connectivity  Stands for Packet Internet Groper  Sends multiple IP packets to destination computer (typically 4 -packets)  Will receive the same number of replies  Information obtained will allow you to ascertain network connectivity

17. IPConfig  Used to verify current IP configuration  Lab 1.1.6

18. Ping  Procedures for verifying connectivity Ping 127.0.0.1 – Internel loopback address Ping IP Address of host computer – Verifies own configuration Ping default gateway IP address – verifies router can be accessed Ping remote IP address – verifies connectivity to remote host

19. Tracert  Traces the route traffic takes from source to destination  Lab 1.1.7

20. Decimal Notation  All Number systems consist of symbols and rules for using them  We use the Decimal number system  Consists of the symbols 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

21. Binary Notation  Computers use Binary notation  Information is stored in memory as a 1 (on) 0r 0 (off)  Has only 2 symbols 0 and 1  Called Binary digITS  Usually represented in groups of 8 BITS  8 BITS = 1 Byte or Octet  1024 bytes = 1 Kilobyte (Kb)  1024 Kb = 1 Megabyte (Mb)  1024 Mb = 1 Gigabyte (Gb)

22. Binary Notation  Possible combinations of 1s and 0s in 8 bits = 0 -255

23. Hexadecimal Notation  Computers represent large numbers as Hexadecimal  Has 16 symbols, numbers 0-9 and A, B,C, D, E, F representing 10 – 15.

24. Number Conversions  Lab 1.2.5 Decimal to Binary Conversion  Lab 1.2.6 Binary to Decimal Conversion  Lab 1.2.8 Hexadecimal Conversions

25. Boolean Logic  Boolean logic is based on digital circuitry that accepts one or two incoming voltages.  Based on the input voltages, output voltage is generated.  For the purpose of computers the voltage difference is associated as two states, on or off.  These two states are in turn associated as a 1 or a 0, which are the two digits in the binary numbering system.

26. Logic Gates  NOT  The NOT operation takes whatever value is presented, 0 or 1, and inverts it.  A one becomes a zero and a zero becomes a one.

27. Logic Gates  AND  The AND operation takes two input values.  If both are 1, the logic gate generates a 1 output.  Otherwise it outputs a 0.

28. Logic Gates  OR  The OR operation also takes two input values.  If at least one of the input values is 1, the output value is 1

29. IP Addressing  An IP Address is a 32 bit address represented in Decimal notation for ease of reading  eg. 192.168.10.143  Has 2 parts  Network portion  Host Portion  Has a Subnet Mask  255.0.0.0  255.255.0.0  255.255.255.0

30. Subnet Masks  Subnet Mask is used to identify the network portion if the address  Converting the IP address 10.34.23.134 to binary would result in: 00001010.00100010.00010111.10000110  Performing a Boolean AND of the IP address 10.34.23.134 and the subnet mask 255.0.0.0 produces the network address of this host:  00001010.00100010.00010111.10000110 11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000 00001010.00000000.00000000.00000000  Network Address = 10.0.0.0

31. Subnet Masks  Performing a Boolean AND of the IP address 10.34.23.134 and the subnet mask 255.255.0.0 produces the network address of this host:  Answer 00001010.00100010.00010111.10000110 11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000 00001010.00100010.00000000.00000000  Network Address = 10.34.0.0
