Recall - I
Internet Protocol (IP) address is a 32 bit unique address used by computers for communication. Classful IP addressing and Classless IP addressing are types of IP addressing. List of classful IP addresses are: Class A address Class B address Class C address Class D address Class E address
Chapter 10
Recall - II
Special addresses are IP addresses which are never used on the public internet. They are Private addresses Loop-back addresses Link-local addresses Mobile IP protocol allows mobile device users to move from one network to another while maintaining their permanent IP address.

Chapter 10
Repeaters
Reshape the weak signal Connect two segments of the same LAN
6
Chapter 10
Hubs - I
Simplest and low cost device Also known as Multi-port Repeater Operate at Physical Layer like Repeater Data transfer to all the ports Hub types:
Active hub Provides signal regeneration Passive hub No signal regeneration Intelligent hub Provides management of each port
Chapter 10
Operation of Hub
Chapter 10
Hubs Configurations
Standalone
Stackable
Modular
Chapter 10
Bridges - I
Layer 2 devices as works at Data Link Layer of the OSI model Interconnect multiple LANs and manages data flow
Chapter 10

Bridges - II
Working of a bridge
Chapter 10
11
Bridges - III
Capable of passing a frame Check Physical address Pass frame to the specified segment Perform error checking on the frame
Bridges
Transparent Bridge
Translational Bridge
Source-route Bridge
Chapter 10
12
Bridges - IV
Features Easy to use as just plug in device Helps in network expansion Divides large network into small segments Used for increasing network reliability Disadvantages Frames are buffered so provides network delay During high traffic may overload network Does not filter broadcast packets Expensive than Repeaters
Chapter 10
13
Switches
Provide signal flow management Replace slower hub Being a Data Link Layer device uses MAC address for data transfer Data transfer to specific port
Switching Methods
Cut-through Method
Chapter 10
Fragment-Free Method
14
Routers - I
Operate at Network Layer of the OSI model Can connect nearer or far network segments
15
Chapter 10
Routers - II
Decide the best route with the help of network layer address Responsible for Source to Destination delivery of packet Router types:
Static router Routing tables are manually configured Dynamic router Routing tables are automatically configured
Chapter 10
16
Routing Protocols - I
Helps routers to learn network topology and network changes Routing algorithms are used by routing protocols for deciding the path
Chapter 10
17
Gateways - I
Operate at all layers of the OSI model Act as gate to other networks A default gateway is on the same subnet as your computer
Gateway Types
Address Gateway
Protocol Gateway
Application Gateway
Transport Gateway
Chapter 10
18
Gateways - II
Address Gateway Interconnects same protocol networks Protocol Gateway Interconnects different protocol networks Application Gateway Connects two parts of applications Transport Gateway Connects networks at transport layer
Chapter 10

Other Devices - I
Other Devices
Multi-Protocol Routers
Brouters
Layer 3 Switches
Multi-protocol router supports multiple communication protocols Like router, it operates at Network Layer
20
Chapter 10
Other Devices - II
Brouter provides combined functions of Bridge and Router Works at two layers, Data Link and Network Can operate only as bridge or only as router High performance switch operating at network layer is Layer 3 Switch
Chapter 10

Summary - I
Repeater is basically a regenerator as it regenerates the signal Repeater and Hub are layer 1 devices as they operate at the Physical layer of the OSI model A multi-port repeater is known as Hub Hubs are of three types, active hub, passive hub and intelligent hub Active hub regenerates the signal before passing and Passive hub does not regenerate signal Types of bridges are Transparent bridge, Translational bridge and Source-route bridge
Chapter 10
22
Summary - II
Switch filters and forwards data to the destination Switch uses cut through, store and forward or fragment free method for switching A router is an intelligent device which functions at the Network layer Router is capable of connecting many network segments even though the segments are far Routers are of two types, Static router and Dynamic router The Netstsat and Route Print commands are used to view the routing table
Chapter 10
23
Summary - III
Routing algorithms are used by the routing protocols to determine the next port to which the packet is to be sent Routing protocols are of two types, interior and exterior RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF and IS-IS are interior routing protocols and BGP is an exterior routing protocol OSPF and IS-IS uses Link state algorithm BGP uses path vector routing

Chapter 10
Summary - IV
Gateway is a networking device which converts data format and not actual data Backbone is a segment that connects other segments Multi-protocol routers support more than one communication protocols and works at network layer Brouter provides combinational functions of a bridge and a router As name suggests Layer 3 switch operates at layer 3 i.e. network layer of the OSI model
