CCNA2 Chapter 1 Wide Area Networks and Routers WAN – Wide Area Networks WAN is a data communications network that operates beyond a LAN’s geographic scope. Users subscribe to a WAN provider such as AT&T, Sprint, etc. These providers offer network services such as: • Frame Relay • Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) • Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) These services carry different traffic types: voice, data and video. WAN’s operate at the first three layers of the OSI. (Frame Relay actually operates at layer 1 and layer 2.) All of the WAN services have layer 1 & layer 2 in common. Other characteristics of WAN are: 1. operate past LAN geographic area 2. use serial connections 3. provide full-time & part-time connectivity Router Internal Components • Main internal components of the router 1. Random-access memory (RAM) 2. Nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) 3. Flash memory 4. Read-only memory (ROM) 5. Interfaces Router Internal Components •RAM • stores routing tables • holds ARP cache • holds fast-switching cache • performs packet buffering • maintains packet-hold queues • provides temporary memory for the configuration file of the router while the router is powered on • loses content when router is powered down or restarted Router Internal Components NVRAM • provides storage for the startup configuration file • retains content when router is powered down or restarted Router Internal Components Flash memory • holds the operating system image (IOS) • allows software to be updated without removing & replacing chips on the processor • retains content when router is powered down or restarted • can store multiple versions of IOS software • is electronically erasable, programmable ROM (EEPROM) Router Internal Components ROM • maintains instructions for power-on self test (POST) diagnostics • stores bootstrap program & basic operating system software • requires replacing pluggable chips on the motherboard for software upgrades Router Internal Components Interfaces • connect router to network for frame entry and exit • can be on the motherboard or on a separate module • connect the router to LANs and WANs Router Internal Components RAM is used for routing table information and it holds the running configuration. NVRAM is used to store the backup/startup configuration file. Flash memory is used for storage of full Cisco IOS software images. The interfaces provide LAN and WAN connectivity. ROM is used for permanently storing startup diagnostic code. The console port provides physical access for initial configuration. Subscriber to Provider Interface Modem Router DTE DCE Example: interface between the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) such as a router to the Data Circuit-Terminating equipment (DCE) to the WAN network such as a modem. DTE is on the customer’s side of the network. - converts user information into signals for transmission, or reconverts the received signals into user information The DCE - is typically a modem and in many cases is circuitry in a CO, switch which is made up of a CSU/DSU (Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit). The major reason for CSU/DSU is to protect the equipment from CPE/DTE from aberrant voltages, and to ‘square’ up the signal. DCE is usually on the provider’s side. - A device that establishes, maintains and terminates a session on a network. It may also convert signals for transmission. It Sample Lab Setup Subscriber to Provider Interface EIA/TIA-232, V.35, X.21, HSSI, others Modem Router DTE DCE Router Physical Characteristics The 3 basic types of connections on a router are: 1. LAN interfaces 2. WAN interfaces 3. Management ports • Console • auxiliary Router Physical Characteristics Management ports provide • Text-based connection • Configuration, monitoring, password recovery and troubleshooting The management ports: • EIA-232 asynchronous serial ports • used for non-network connections • used for initial router configuration • to connect to a port, a PC must have a terminal emulation program • rollover cable from PC to the management ports Management Ports The console port, says Cisco is preferred when troubleshooting: • doesn’t depend on network services • displays start and error messages by default To establish a connection between PC and a router, one needs • terminal emulation software • rollover cable • RJ-45 to DB-9 connector Router Physical Characteristics Cisco says, the terminal emulation software, HyperTerminal, the parameters used to configure a router are: • Data bits • Stop bits • parity Router’s connection LAN and WAN For a PC of a LAN to connect to a router, one • straight-thru cable from the PC to a HUB or switch • straight-thru cable from the HUB or switch to router’s Ethernet interface Router’s connection LAN and WAN An internetwork must include: • switching • dynamic or static routing • consistent end-to-end addressing Router’s connection LAN and WAN EIA/TIA-232, V.35, X.21, HSSI, others Modem Router DTE DCE The connections to WAN on router is through the serial interface, either as a Smart Serial interface connector or DB-60 connector. The following devices are used in the construction of a WAN: • communication servers • routers • modems Router vs. PC According to Cisco, the common components between a router and PC are: 1. CPU 2. input/output interfaces 3. system bus OSI Model Data unit Host layers Media layers Layer Function Application Network process to application Presentation Data representation and encryption Session Interhost communication Segments Transport End-to-end connections and reliability (TCP) Packets Network Path determination and logical addressing (IP) Frames Data link Physical addressing (MAC & LLC) Bits Physical Media, signal and binary transmission Data
