LAN & WAN are the technologies used for the
internet.
17
Connecting devices include:
Repeaters
Hubs
Bridges
Routers
Switches
18
Operates only in the physical layer.
Receives a signal, & before it becomes too weak or
corrupted, it regenerates the original bit-pattern.
Can extend the physical length of a network.
The cable can be divide into segments to extend the cable
length and repeaters can be installed between them.
Portion of the network between repeaters are called
segments.
A repeater acts as a two interface node & forwards every
packet but has no filtering capability.
19
Is actually a multi-port repeater which is
normally used to create connection
between stations in a physical star
topology.
Also used to create multiple levels of
hierarchy.
The hierarchical use of hubs removes the
length limitation of 100 mts.
20
21
Operates in both the physical & data link layer.
As a physical layer device, it regenerates the
signals it receives.
As a data link layer device, the bridge can check
the physical addresses contained in the packet.
Has no physical address & acts only as filter, i.e.,
not as an original sender to a final destination.
22
A bridge has filtering capability, i.e., can
check the destination address of a packet and
decide if the packet should be forwarded or
dropped.
If the packet is to be forwarded, the decision
must specify the interface.
A bridge uses a table in filtering decisions.
Connects segments of a LAN together.
23
A Router is a three layer device:
24
Router is an inter-networking device.
It can connect :
LANS together
WANS together
LANS and WANS together
Two networks (LANS or WANS) connected by a
router becomes an internetwork or an internet
25
26
27
A two-layer switch is a bridge with many
interfaces and better(faster) performance.
Due to having many interfaces , it may be
able to allocate a unique interface to each
station, with each station on its own
independent segment.
This means no traffic and no collision .
28
A three-layer switch is a router with an
improved design to allow better
performance.
It can receive , process and dispatch a
packet much faster than a traditional router
even though the functionality is the same.
29
Backbone network allows several LANs to
be connected together.
30
31
• Logical topology of the backbone is a bus.
• Physical topology can be a bus or a star.
• Protocol that supports the logical bus are 10BASE5,
10BASE2, 10BASE-T OR 100BASE-T
• Normally used as a distribution backbone to connect
different buildings in an organization.
• Each building can be comprised of either a single LAN or
another backbone. (normally a logical star backbone)
To connect logical bus backbone uses:-
Bridge based
Router based
32
LANs are connected to the backbone through
bridges.
Delivery of the frame uses the Data Link layer
address of the frame.
Each bridge connected to the backbone has a table
that shows the station on the LAN side of the
bridge.
The blocking or delivery of a frame is based on the
contents of this table.

34
LANs are connected to the backbone through
routers.
Delivery of the frame uses the network layer
(IP) address of the packet encapsulated
inside the frame.
System is viewed as several sub-networks
with each LAN and the backbone each
forming a subnet.
35
Each router connected to the backbone has a routing
table that shows how to route the frame to the
appropriate router.

37
Also called as collapsed or switched backbone
Logical topology of the backbone is a star.
The backbone is just one switch that connects the
LAN together.
No need of bridges or routers.
Switch-acts as backbone as well as connects LANs
38
Delivery of frames can be based on the data link layer or
network layer addresses.
If the backbone switch is a two layer switch, delivery is
based on the data link layer address, means whole
system is still one single network.
If the switch is a three layer switch acting a multiport
router, the delivery is based on the network layer
addresses, means each LAN acts as a subnet.
39
Mostly used as a distribution backbone
inside a building.
In a multi-floor building, one LAN serves the
whole floor.
Logical star backbone connects these LANs
Switch can be set at one place and separate
cables can run from the switch to each LAN.

Local area network protocol standardized by
ANSI and the ITU-T.
Supports 100Mbps.
As a standard underlying medium it uses
optical fiber
Uses a dual-attached, counter-rotating token
ring topology comprising of primary &
secondary rings.
42
Two token rings are provided for possible backup
in case the primary ring fails.
The primary ring offers up to 100 Mbps capacity.
When a network has no requirement for the
secondary ring to do backup, it can also carry
data, extending capacity to 200 Mbps.
The secondary ring makes FDDI self-healing.
