Chapter 3


Plan network binding order, change the
binding order, and bind and unbind
protocols
Plan how to implement protocols on
different types of networks
Protocol
Chapter 3

A protocol consists of guidelines for:
 How
data is formatted into discrete units
called packets and frames
 How packets and frames are transmitted
across one or more networks
 How packets and frames are interpreted at
the receiving end
Packets and Frames
Chapter 3


Packets and frames are units of data
transmitted from one networked
computer or device to another.
Although packets and frames are often
used to have the same meaning, there
is a difference. Packets operate at a
higher communication layer and contain
routing information.

Network Design
Chapter 3


The basic design of a network is its
topology
Topology: The physical layout of the
cable and the logical path followed by
network packets and frames sent on the
cable
Local Area Network
Chapter 3

Local area network (LAN): Joins
computers, printers, and other computer
equipment within a limited service area
and generally employs only one
topology
Example of a LAN
Chapter 3

network that links multiple LANs within a
large city or metropolitan area

Enterprise Network
Chapter 3

Enterprise Network: A network that often
reaches throughout a large area, such
as a college campus, a city, or across
several states. A distinguishing factor of
an enterprise network is that it brings
together an array of network resources
such as many kinds of servers,
mainframes, printers, network devices,
intranets, and the Internet
Typical Resources in an
Enterprise Network
Chapter 3

extend across state lines and across
continents

Connecting a Medium to a NIC
Chapter 3
Figure 3-4 Connecting cable to a NIC
Device Address
Chapter 3


Each NIC has a physical or device
address that is burned into a PROM on
the card
Media access control (MAC) address is
another way of describing the device
address
Ethernet and Token Ring
Chapter 3


Ethernet: A network transport system
that uses a carrier sensing and collision
detection method to regulate data
transmissions
Token ring: A network transport method
that uses a token, which is passed from
node to node, to coordinate data
transmissions
NDIS
Chapter 3

Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS):
A set of standards developed by Microsoft
and 3COM for network drivers that enables
communication between a NIC and a
protocol, and that enables the use of multiple
protocols on the same network
NDIS Architecture

checking to ensure that data is delivered
successfully
Internet Protocol (IP) portion consists of
rules for packaging data and ensuring
that it reaches the correct destination
address
Dotted Decimal Notation
Chapter 3

Dotted Decimal Notation: An addressing
technique that uses four octets, such as
100000110.11011110.1100101.00000101,
converted to decimal (e.g.,
134.22.101.005), to differentiate individual
servers, workstations, and other network
devices.
Unicasting and Multicasting
Chapter 3


In a unicast, a transmission is sent to
each client that requests a file or
application, such as a multimedia
presentation
In a multicast, a transmission is sent to
all requesting clients as a group
(reducing the total network traffic)

an IP address that is used to indicate
the class of addressing on a network
and to divide a network into
subnetworks as a way to control traffic
and enforce security

Subnet Mask in Windows 2000

NetBEUI implementations (if possible) and
convert upgraded servers and clients to
TCP/IP for more functionality
When to Use NetBEUI

For temporary backward compatibility
when converting from Windows NT
Server to Windows 2000 Server

Internet access, that do not use the
Active Directory, that do not use routing,
and that require only a basic installation
For backward compatibility with
particular applications

Binding Order
Chapter 3

Windows NT and Windows 2000 enable
you to set a binding order which
establishes the protocol that will be tried
first in a network communication (or a
communication with a network printer)
Troubleshooting Tip
Chapter 3

If network performance is slow and your
network uses a combination of
protocols, tune the binding order on
Windows NT and Windows 2000 clients
which can be an inexpensive way to
immediately relieve network congestion

Protocols are the life blood of a network,
thus plan their use carefully.
The Microsoft NDIS driver enables
using one or more protocols such as
TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, DLC, and
AppleTalk.
For modern networking TCP/IP
implementations are preferred.
