Cabling LANs
Ethernet LAN Physical Layer• Earliest Ethernet standards used coaxial cabling• Today’s standards called for twisted-pair (usually
UTP) or fiber-optic cabling• IEEE separated Ethernet into two standards
– IEEE 802.2 - Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer defines part of the OSI data link layer
– IEEE 802.3 – Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer also defines part of the OSI data link layer

Ethernet LAN Physical Layer Design Considerations
• Does maximum cable length allowed meet segment requirements
• Cost of cable• Cost of equipment on ends of cable• Which cables support which Ethernet speeds• Ease of installation• Susceptibility to interference

Cabling LANs
Choosing Ethernet Types (Speeds) in the Campus
• Network engineers must consider speed of Ethernet types
• Most current PCs have 10/100 Mbps NICs – means a current design would use 100 Mbps Ethernet on the LAN
• Most new PCs come with 10/100/1000 Mbps NICs – must consider expense of upgrading LAN switches to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps)

Components of the Campus Design Model• Access switches and links – end-user devices
connect to access switches (LAN switches), with Ethernet links called access links
• Distribution switches and uplinks – a large number of access switches connect to a smaller number of distribution switches; the links between them are called uplinks
![Page 12: Networking Basics CCNA 1 Chapter 5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56814deb550346895dbb5a12/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Ethernet Types, Media and Segment Lengths• Using the charts is important to the LAN planning
process• Most paths between devices are not straight line• After media are selected, cables with appropriate
connectors must be ordered or made• Some older NICs and networking devices use
attachment user interface (AUI) connectors

Picking UTP Cable Pinouts• Straight-through – use TIA/EIA-T568-A or
TIA/EIA-T568-B on both ends• Crossover (10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX) - use
TIA/EIA-T568-A on one end and TIA/EIA-T568-B on the other end
• Crossover (1000BASE-TX) – use TIA/EIA-T568-A on one end and swap the orange/green (pairs 1 and 2) and blue/brown pairs (pairs 3 and 4) on the other end

Connecting Ethernet Networking Devices• Must play close attention to distances between
devices• Must consider how extending the length of the
network by adding devices has an impact

Cabling LANs
Connecting Ethernet Networking Devices
• Repeaters– Extend the distances over which an Ethernet
network can send data– Receives a degraded signal, cleans it up and
retimes it, and sends it out the other port– Cannot indefinitely extend a LAN
![Page 29: Networking Basics CCNA 1 Chapter 5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56814deb550346895dbb5a12/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

• Repeaters– 5-4-3 rule
• At most 5 cables in the LAN• At most 4 repeaters• At most 3 cables can have PCs attached
– Allows for maximum distance of 500 meters

Connecting Ethernet Networking Devices• Hubs
– IEEE created 10BASE-T and hubs to overcome problems with older Ethernet standards
– Old standard called for a physical bus topology– New standard allows a physical star topology– Thinner cable makes installation easier– Maximum single cable length of 100 m, versus 185 m
and 500 m
![Page 32: Networking Basics CCNA 1 Chapter 5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56814deb550346895dbb5a12/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Cabling LANs
Connecting Ethernet Networking Devices• Hubs (continued)
– 10BASE-T allows the use of hubs and repeaters– Similar to repeaters, hubs receive a signal on one
port, regenerate it, and send it out all other ports– Hubs contain multiple RJ-45 jacks to provide a place
to connect multiple UTP cables, which creates the physical star topology
– Hubs are sometimes called “multiport repeaters” or “concentrators”

Connecting Ethernet Networking Devices• Bridges
– Use logic to decide whether to forward frames– This logic is closely matched to OSI Layer 2, so
bridges are considered to be Layer 2 devices– Bridges use this process:
• Examine incoming frame, look at destination MAC address• If destination MAC is reachable via a different interface than
the one one which it was received, regenerate and forward out that interface (forward)
• If destination MAC is on the same interface it arrived on, discard the frame (filter)

Cabling LANs
Connecting Ethernet Networking Devices• Functions of an Ethernet Switch
– Like a hub, provides a large number of ports for making a physical star topology
– Like repeaters, hubs and bridges, regenerates a clean signal
– Like bridges, uses filtering/forwarding logic– Like bridges, separates a LAN into multiple collision
domains, increasing LAN bandwidth– Beyond the functions of hubs, repeaters, and bridges, offers
advanced features such as virtual LANS (VLANs) and much faster performance

Wireless Communications and Wireless Access Points
• RF has been used for communications for more than a century: AM/FM radio, Airplane to control tower, Police and fire departments
• Does not require line-of-sight• Wireless devices designed for two-way communication
need a transmitter and a receiver• WLAN standards use a range of frequencies called a
spread spectrum

WLAN Review• Wireless Access Points (APs)
– Have much in common with hubs and switches– Provide a centralized connection point (without wires)– Have limitations on distance– Like hubs, create a shared medium– PCs and laptops use wireless cards, so no networking
cables are needed– The AP connects to the rest of the network with a
cable

• Peer-to-peer networking– Have several disadvantages compared to
client/server networks• Lack centralized security controls• Individuals must perform own backups• When user’s PC is acting as a server, performance
may suffer• Don’t work well with lots of users (limit of 10 or so)

Summary
• Ethernet is the most widely used LAN technology
• Ethernet technologies provide a variety of speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps
• A NIC’s connector must match the media– Coax typically uses BNC connectors– STP and UTP use RJ-45 connectors– Fiber-Optic uses ST, SC or MT-RJ connectors

Summary
• Twisted-pair cabling must use the correct pinout to work properly
• A crossover cable is used to connect two similar devices, such as switches
• A straight-through cable connects two different devices, such as a PC and a switch
• A rollover cable connects a PC to the console port of a router or a switch

Summary
• Repeaters regenerate and retime network signals and let them travel a longer distance
• Hubs act as multiport repeaters and provide a central device to connect devices in a star physical topology
• Hubs are sometimes called concentrators• Bridges and switches use logic at Layer 2 of the
OSI model to decide when to forward frames or when not to forward (filter) them
![Page 95: Networking Basics CCNA 1 Chapter 5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56814deb550346895dbb5a12/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
www.ciscopress.com
Summary
• Bridges and switches examine the destination MAC address of the frame and compare it to a list of MAC addresses and ports
• Because bridges and switches do not forward traffic unless necessary, they provide more bandwidth than hubs and repeaters and greatly improve network performance
• LAN switches provide the same basic functions as a bridge, but have a large number of ports that act as a concentration point

Summary
• Today’s switches are so much faster than bridges that vendors such as Cisco no longer sell bridges
• Switches support a large variety of extra features, such as VLANs
• Wireless networks can be created with much less cabling than other networks
• Wireless AP’s connect to the rest of the network with an Ethernet cable

Summary
• Wireless devices use transmitters and receivers to convert bits to EM waves (transmitter) and then back to bits at the destination (receiver)
• Two most common types of wireless technologies used for networking are IR and RF
• Typically computers use a peer-to-peer or client/server network model
• In both models, one computer acts as a client and another acts as a server
![Page 98: Networking Basics CCNA 1 Chapter 5](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56814deb550346895dbb5a12/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)

Summary
• In peer-to-peer networks, networked computers act as equal partners
• In client/server networks, network services are located on a computer called a server and end-user computers always act as clients
• Routers are responsible for routing packets from source to destination computers
• Routers typically connect to a wide range of networking media, including different WAN (ISDN, DSL, CABLE) and LAN (Ethernet) types

Summary
• Each WAN type requires some type of media and connector
• When a router’s serial interface is used, the cable type is determined by– Physical connector on the router– Physical interface on the CSU/DSU
• Router interface can be DCE or DTE, but is usually a DTE interface

Summary
• A router serial WAN link can be DCE or DTE
• DCE provides clock synchronization; DTE adjusts its clock to match DTE end
• Traditionally, a router is a DTE device and a CSU/DSU is a DCE device (except in lab situations where no CSU/DSUs are used)
