© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Explain the principles of networking  Networks are systems that are formed by links.  Computers can be linked by networks to share data and resources.  All data, voice, video, and converged networks share information and use various methods to direct how this information flows.

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Define computer networks Many different types of devices can connect to a network:  Desktop computers  Laptop computers  Printers  Scanners  PDAs  Smartphones  File/print servers

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA A network can share many different types of resources  Services, such as printing or scanning  Storage space on removable devices, such as hard drives or optical drives  Applications, such as databases

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Network devices link together using a variety of connections:  Copper cabling – Uses electrical signals to transmit data between devices  Fiber-optic cabling – Uses glass or plastic wire, also called fiber, to carry information as light pulses  Wireless connection – Uses radio signals, infrared technology (laser), or satellite transmissions

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Describe a LAN Local Area Network (LAN) refers to a group of interconnected devices that is under the same administrative control.

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Describe a WAN Wide Area Networks (WANs) are networks that connect LANs in geographically separated locations.

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Describe a WLAN In a WLAN, wireless devices connect to access points within a specified area. Access points are typically connected to the network using copper cabling

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Explain peer-to-peer networks In a peer-to-peer network, devices are connected directly to each other without any additional networking devices between them.

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Explain client/server networks In a client/server network, the client requests information or services from the server.

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Explain OSI and TCP/IP data models

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Describe how to configure a NIC and a modem  Install or update a NIC driver.  Attach the computer to an existing network.  Describe the installation of a modem.

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Install or update a NIC driver  Sometimes, a manufacturer will publish new driver software for a NIC. A new driver may enhance the functionality of the NIC, or it may be needed for operating system compatibility.

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Identify names, purposes, and characteristics of other technologies used to establish connectivity  Describe telephone technologies.  Define power line communication.  Define broadband.  Define VOIP.

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Describe telephone technologies  Analog Telephone: telephone line cannot be used for voice calls while the modem is in use. Limited bandwidth provided by analog phone service (The maximum bandwidth using an analog modem is 56 Kbps).  Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN): three services offered by ISDN digital connections: Basic Rate Interface (BRI), Primary Rate Interface (PRI), and Broadband ISDN (BISDN). The "B" channel is used to carry the information – data, voice, or video – and the "D" channel is usually used for controlling and signaling.

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)  DSL uses the existing copper telephone lines to provide high-speed digital data communication between end users and telephone companies.  This sharing of the phone wire allows voice calls to be placed while DSL is connecting to the Internet.

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Define power line communication

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA PLC is known by other names:  Power Line Networking (PLN)  Mains Communication  Power Line Telecoms (PLT)

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Power line communication (PLC)  A communication method that uses power distribution wires (local electric grid) to send and receive data.  Can superimpose an analog signal over the standard 50 or 60 Hz AC that travels in power lines. The analog signal can carry voice and data signals.  Available in areas where other high-speed connections are not.  PLC connections can be used anywhere there is an electrical outlet

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Define broadband  Broadband is a technique used to transmit and receive multiple signals using multiple frequencies over one cable.  For example, the cable used to bring cable television to your home can carry computer network transmissions at the same time.  Some common broadband network connections include cable, DSL, ISDN, and satellite.  A cable modem connects your computer to the cable company using the same coaxial cable that connects to your cable television.

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco PublicNew CCNA Define VoIP  Voice over IP (VoIP) is a method to carry telephone calls over the data networks and Internet.  VoIP converts the analog signals of our voices into digital information that is transported in IP packets.
