The role of an IT (Information Technology)
Professional
• Networks are no longer a “luxury”, but a required resource necessary
•
•
for an organization to conduct business.
In most organizations, networks must be operational 24x7, for anything
from mission critical applications to accessing email and information
from off-campus.
9 out of 10 jobs in the IT (Information Technology) industry are in non-IT
companies (ITAA).

What is
networking?
•
•
Communication!
An interconnection of
computers and other
devices:
– Printers
– Servers (computers)
– Scanners
– Network Devices
• Hubs
• Switches
• Routers
• Firewall
• Modem
• Wired and Wireless

Requirements for Internet connection
•
Physical connection from a computer (PC) to a network
– Telephone Modem (Analog)
– Network Interface Card (NIC)
12
Requirements for Internet connection
•
Logical connection uses standards called protocols (rules
for how information is transmitted): (More LATER!)
– Ethernet
– TCP/IP, a “suite of protocols”
13
Requirements for Internet connection
• Applications that interprets the
data and displays the
information in an
understandable form:
– Web browser
– File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

Network interface cards (NIC)
A NIC is used to connect a device (computer) to a LAN (Local Area
Network).
The LAN is usually connected to a ISP (Internet Service Provider)
When selecting a NIC, consider the following factors:
• Protocols – Ethernet, Token Ring (becoming obsolete), wireless
protocols: 802.11a, b, or g
• Types of media – Twisted-pair, coaxial (older technology), wireless, or
fiber-optic
• More LATER!
17
NIC and modem installation
• A modem, or modulator-demodulator, is a device that provides the
•
•
computer with connectivity to a telephone line.
Converts signals from analog to digital, and digital to analog.
Depending upon your “Internet connection”, you may have just a
NIC, just a modem or both.

TCP/IP description and configuration
• Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a set
•
•
of protocols or rules developed to allow cooperating computers to
share resources across a network.
Includes a “unique” (well, not always) address assigned to your
computer
Much more LATER!

TCP/IP description and configuration
24
Verify IP Configuration: MAC OS
• From the Apple menu, open your Control Panel, and select the TCP/IP
•
•
•
option. (older MacOS versions use the MacTCP control panel.)
Click on the "Info" button in the TCP/IP configuration dialog.
The configuration dialog shown to the right will be displayed. Look at
the address listed next to the line "This Macintosh"
In this example, the IP address is 192.168.10.30
25
Verify IP Configuration: MAC OS X
• Select the Apple Menu, choose the System Preferences option, and
•
the Network control panel.
Select the TCP/IP tab.
26
Verify IP Configuration: Linux/Unix
27
Testing connectivity with ping
Loopback Address
• The ping command works by sending multiple IP packets to a
•
specified destination. Each packet sent is a request for a reply.
The ping command is used to test the NIC transmit/receive function,
the TCP/IP configuration, and network connectivity.

Time Sharing
•
•
•
Early networks utilized time sharing
Computer OS managed individual users, giving each one a
slice of time.
Computer was fast enough so it looked as if each user had
exclusive access to the computer.
30
Computer to Computer Communications
• Prior to TCP/IP and the Internet,
•
•
•
•
computer to computer
communications was very difficult.
Difficult to share data between
computers.
Different hardware
Different operating systems
Different protocols

Circuit Switching vs Packet Switching
Circuit Switched Networks (PSTN – Public Switched Telephone Network,
ISDN)
• A type of communications where a channel or circuit is established for
the duration of the call.
• That circuit is dedicated to the two end nodes using it.
• 1950’s/60’s the networks were analog, circuit switched networks.
• Telephony companies invested millions/billions of dollars in equipment
over tens of years, for that investment to be paid off over many years.
• Its about guaranteed levels of service
33
Packet Switching
Packet Switched Networks (Frame Relay, ATM)
• Packets (messages or fragments of messages) are individually routed
between nodes over data links which might be shared by many other
nodes.
• Packets between the same two nodes may take different routes.
• Link fails or becomes unavailable, other links may be used.
• More efficient use of inter-network links.
34
Circuit Switch and Packet Switched
• Although the network itself may be a circuit switched or
•
packet switched connection, that circuit could be used for a
packet switched traffic (IP packets).
This will become more clear later.
