Local Area Network

A hub is a repeater reading electronic signals from a cable and replicating them on all other interfaces (broadcast).

a switch operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model forwarding frames to their destination/next hop only (rather than to every address connected like a hub).

Switches facilitate simulcast (1 to 1), Multicast (1 to many) and broadcast (1 to all).

Output ports can transmit only a single packet in a unit of time (the packet transmission time), the arriving packets will have to queue for transmission over the outgoing link. There could be more packets arriving from the switching fabric at the output port while the output port is still working on sending the packets that are already on the queue. Eventually, the number of queued packets can grow large enough to exhaust the memory space at the output port, in which case packets are dropped or lost.

Difference between a cat 5 5e and 6 networking cable?

Cat5 cable is broken into two separate categories: Cat5 and Cat5E cables. Cat5 has become obsolete in recent years, due to its limitations compared to Cat5E and Cat6 cables. Although the Cat5 cable can handle up to 10/100 Mbps at a 100MHz bandwidth (which was once considered quite efficient), the newer versions of Cat cables are significantly faster.

Cat5E cable (which stands for "Cat5 Enhanced") became the standard cable about 15 years ago and offers significantly improved performance over the old Cat5 cable, including up to 10 times faster speeds and a significantly greater ability to traverse distances.

Cat6 cables have been around for only a few years less than Cat5E cables. However, they have primarily been used as the backbone to networks, instead of being run to workstations themselves. The reason for this (beyond cost) is the fact that, while Cat6 cables can handle up to 10 Gigabits of data, that bandwidth is limited to 164 feet - anything beyond that will rapidly decay to only 1 Gigabit (the same as Cat5E).

Cat6A is the newest iteration and utilizes an exceptionally thick plastic casing that helps further reduce crosstalk. The biggest distinguishing difference between Cat6 and Cat6A cables is that Cat6A can maintain 10 Gigabit speeds for the full 328 feet of Ethernet cable.

Seems to me, I'm still learning, that the Class D subnet mask would be 224.0.0.0 or 1110 0000.0000 0000.0000 0000.0000 0000 in binary. The Internet has been using classless subnets for a while now, so it may not be as relevant as it once was.

For this type of connection you will need to use a *crossover* ethernet cable, not a standard patch cable. This will allow two computers to network with eachother. You can then use the network wizard (if you use windows xp or vista) and choose to create a home network. You will need to assign each computer a unique IP address so they can find eachother, as well as a unique computer name.

Nothing. That is not a valid IP address as its stands however ip addresses with the first 2 octets of 169.254.xxx.xxx means that Automatic Private IP Addressing has been enabled because no DHCP server was found and no static address has been defined.

To find the Network ID and Host ID from an IP address you need to use a Subnet Mask. The address 220.43.6.8 is a class C IP address (Since the range of Class C address is 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255).
The standard default mask for class C is 255.255.255.0


Network address = (IP address) Boolean AND (Subnet mask)
Hence,
network address = 220.43.6.8 AND 255.255.255.0 = 220.43.6
(since 255 means all 1s in binary, hence it'll give the same bits which are ANDed with it, whereas 0 means all 0s in binary, hence it'll give answer as 0 irrespective of what bits are ANDed with it)


Hence Host Address would be the remaining part of IP address = 8

It depends on what kind of model it is, but in the model for computer 321O, it is on the layer between trhe keyboard and the behind screen, and there is a button with the osi code and there says everything.

Coaxcial cable is typically a copper core cable with a shield separated by an air gap. It carries electrical signals along the center conductor relative to ground (usually the outer shield is tied to ground.

Fibre optic cable is glass strands which carrry light in the form of pulses rather than electrical currents.

Fibre carries a digital signal whilst copper (coaxial) commonly carries an analogue signal.

a peer-to-peer (P2P) network

It depends on the type/speed.

For 100 mbit/s twisted-pair (CAT5/6), it's 100 metres, for 1000 mbit/s - 1 gBit/s it's also 100 m *with the correct cable* and no sneaky tight bends/ overdone cable ties.

The older coaxial cables gave 185 m, 500 m, but these are obsolete.

The longest total length for ethernet is 100m, or just a bit over 300 feet. That is for pure cable lengths between any device that would regenerate the signal, such as a switch or hub. The problem is if the signal is to degradded by the time it reaches the device it can't be regenerated properly.

Pros- wireless gives you more room to use the item, and u dont have to worry about the cords getting tangled and so on. Wireless also depending on the item, can run at a faster pace then wired.

Cons- The main bad thing about wireless is keeping track of your receiver. usually with wireless there's some sort of a receiver that connects your wireless item. So if you lose the reciever you r screwed and will have to buy another wireless item. Another problem is with wireless, it usually always runs on battery which means recharging. Recharging can sometimes take a few hours to get to full battery. Or it requires you buying batterys if it is for example AA or a non-rechargeable.

I currently use wireless at home because buying batterys or losing my reciver is never a problem for me. Hope this helped out a bit. need more in depth email me at Burle35@gmail.com

You can use a switch to connect different pieces of equipment. For example, a standard ADSL router only has a port for a single Ethernet cable. If you want to connect 2 or more computers to the Internet, you can use a switch. In this case, the ADSL router and each computer connect to the switch, via a standard Ethernet cable.

If you don't have an Internet connection, you can still set up a home network to share files, etc. To connect only 2 computers, you can connect them directly via a crossover cable. To connect more than 2 computers, better use a switch.

Computer network devices also known as communication devices and they constitute a data communication network. These devices are routers, switches, hubs, LAN cards, gateway, modems, hardware firewall, CSU/DSU, ISDN terminals and transceivers. In an Ethernet or WAN network, the data communication cannot be performed without these devices. Being an IT professional or a network administrator, you must have the good understanding of these devices.

There must be at least 2 computers to form a network. However, a standalone machine that is connected to the Internet (which is itself a vast network of computers) is considered part of that network and is therefore regarded as a subnet even though there's only one machine in that subnet.

If you have physical access to the printer take a look at the printer's configuration menus or have the printer print it out.

You can try pinging the printer by name to see if it responds or if you have access to the print queue configuration information it will be listed there.
