4. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual All Computers Have a CPU, Memory, Storage, and Interfaces.

5. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual Network Interface Cards When you select a network card, consider the following three factors: –Type of network –Type of media –Type of system bus Installing a NIC in a PC

6. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual Computer Software Web Browsers –A Web browser acts on behalf of a user by Contacting a Web server Requesting information Receiving information Displaying the results on a screen Plug-Ins –Flash/Shockwave, QuickTime, Real Audio

7. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual Number Systems Knowing What Base Someone Refers To –Decimal uses 10 digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. –Binary uses 2 digits: 0 and 1. Base Conventions –101 in Base 2 is spoken as one zero one. Working with Exponents –10 3 = 10 X 10 X 10 = 1000 –2 4 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16 Binary Numbers –Use principle of place value just as decimal numbers do

9. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual Base 10 Calculations The upper table shows the actual math. The lower table is a simplified version that requires the following: –Start the value row and position row with 1 in the rightmost box. –Each subsequent value is current value times the base (10 in this case) –Value to be calculated is entered in the digit row. –Multiply digit amount times value entry above.

12. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual Base 2 Calculations 8-Bit Values Binary Value: 10101010 Binary Value: 11101001 Start the value row and position row with 1 in the rightmost box. Each subsequent value is the current value times the base (2 in this case).

13. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual Binary Number System Even and Odd –A binary number is a multiple of 2 (even number) if the rightmost digit is a 0. –A binary number is odd if the rightmost digit is 1.

14. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual Converting Decimal to Binary Example: 35 = 32 + 2 + 1 = 00100011 2727 2626 2525 2424 23232 2121 2020 1286432168421 00100011

15. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual Converting Decimal to Binary Start by dividing the decimal by the largest number in the Value row that will go.

16. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual Looking at the Table Relationships The table will work with larger numbers, such as this 12-bit example. Sometimes its easier to subtract the 0 values from 255 (largest 8-bit value). - For any number in the value row, the sum of all numbers to the right is the current value minus 1 (64 - 1 = 63).

17. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual Powers of 2 for Non-Math Majors Powers of 2 are used extensively in networking. One solution: 1.Start with 2 (which is 2 1 ). 2.Double the number to get the next value. 3.If you need 2 6, continue until you have 6 values. Look over the example to the right. The second column is included only for reference.

18. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual Binary Number System Exercises 1.Convert the binary number 1010 to Base 10. 2.Convert the Base 2 number 11110000 to decimal notation. 3.Convert the decimal number 1111 to binary notation. 4.Convert the decimal number 198 to binary notation.

25. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual Digital Bandwidth Two Analogies That Describe Digital Bandwidth –Width of a pipe –Number of lanes on a highway Media Bandwidth Differences –Category 5 UTP – 100 meters maximum physical distance –Multimode (62.5/125um) optical fiber – 2000 meters –Modem – 56 Kbps = 0.056 Mbps –T1 – 1.544 Mbps

28. www.ciscopress.com Copyright 2002Cisco Press: CCNA Instructor’s Manual Digital Bandwidth (cont.) Data Throughput in Relation to Digital Bandwidth –Factors that determine: internetworking devices, type of date being transferred, topology, number of users, user’s computer Data Transfer Calculation –Estimated time = size of file / bandwidth Why Is Bandwidth Important? –Bandwidth is finite!
