 Design an addressing scheme for an inter-network and assign ranges for hosts, network devices and the router interface.

 Compare and contrast the importance of network designs

LAN Device: Router

 Routers are the primary devices used to interconnect networks.

Each port on a router connects to a different network and routes packets between the networks.

Routers have the ability to break up broadcast domains and collision domains.

Routers are also used to interconnect networks that use different technologies.

They can have both LAN and WAN interfaces.

 The router's LAN interfaces allow routers to connect to the LAN media. This is usually UTP cabling, but modules can be added for using fiber-optics.

Depending on the model of router, there can be multiple interface types for connection of LAN and WAN cabling.

Each LAN will have a router as its gateway connecting the LAN to other networks. Inside the LAN will be one or more hubs or switches to connect the end devices to the LAN.

For this course, the choice of which router to deploy is determined by the Ethernet interfaces that match the technology of the switches at the center of the LAN.

Intranetwork Devices LAN Device: Hub and switch

 Hub

A hub receives a signal, regenerates it, and sends the signal over all ports.

The use of hubs creates a logical bus.

This means that the LAN uses multiaccess media.

The ports use a shared bandwidth approach and often have reduced performance in the LAN due to collisions and recovery.

Multiple hubs can be interconnected, they remain a single collision domain.

A hub is typically chosen as an intermediary device within a small LAN, in a LAN that has low throughput requirements, or when finances are limited.

 Switch

A switch receives a frame and regenerates each bit of the frame on to the appropriate destination port.

Switch is used to segment a network into multiple collision domains.

Switch reduces the collisions on a LAN. Each port on the switch creates a separate collision domain. This creates a point-to-point logical topology to the device on each port.

Switch provides dedicated bandwidth on each port.

Switch can also be used to interconnect segments of different speeds.

There is a range of switches available with a variety of features that enable the interconnection of multiple computers in a typical enterprise LAN setting.

Switch Selection Factors

 To meet user requirements, a LAN needs to be planned and designed.

Planning ensures that all requirements, cost factors and deployment options are given due consideration.

 These factors include, but are not limited to:

Cost

Speed and Types of Ports/Interfaces

Expandability

Manageability

Additional Features and Services

 The two topics will be explored further:

cost

interface characteristics.

Switch Selection Factors: Cost

 The cost of a switch is determined by its capacity & features.

The switch capacity includes the number and types of ports available and the switching speed.

Other factors that impact the cost are its network management capabilities, embedded security technologies, and optional advanced switching technologies.

 Using a simple "cost per port" calculation, it may appear initially that the best option is to deploy one large switch at a central location.

However, this apparent cost savings may be offset by the expense from the longer cable lengths required to connect every device on the LAN to one switch.

This option should be compared with the cost of deploying a number of smaller switches connected by a few long cables to a central switch.

 Another cost consideration is how much to invest in redundancy.

We can provide a secondary central switch to operate concurrently with the primary central switch.

We can also provide additional cabling to provide multiple interconnections between the switches.

The goal of redundant systems is to allow the physical network to continue its operation even if one device fails.

Switch Selection Factors: Cost

Switch Selection: Speed and Types of Ports/Interfaces

 Newer computers with built-in 10/100/1000 Mbps NICs are available. Choosing Layer 2 devices that can accommodate increased speeds allows the network to evolve without replacing the central devices.

 When selecting a switch, choosing the number and type of ports is a critical decision. Ask yourself these questions: Would you purchase a switch with:

Just enough ports for today's needs?

A mixture of UTP speeds?

Both UTP and fiber ports?

Consider carefully how many UTP ports will be needed and how many fiber ports will be needed.

Consider how many ports will need 1 Gbps capability and how many ports only require 10/100 Mbps bandwidths.

Consider how soon more ports will be needed.

Switch Selection: Speed and Types of Ports/Interfaces

Router Selection Factors

 When selecting a router, we need to match: Cost

Routers can be expensive based on interfaces & features.

Interface types

Additional module, such as fiber-optics, can increase the costs.

Expandability

Routers come in both fixed and modular configurations.

Fixed configurations have a specific number and type of ports.

Modular devices have expansion slots that provide the flexibility to add new modules as requirements evolve. Most modular devices come with a basic number of fixed ports as well as expansion slots.

Media

The media used to connect to the router should be supported w/o need to purchase additional modules.

Operating System Features

Depending on the version of OS, the router can support certain features and services such as:

Security

Quality of Service (QoS)

Voice over IP (VoIP)

Routing multiple Layer 3 protocols

Services such as NAT and DHCP

LAN cabling

 When planning the LAN cabling, there are 4 areas:

Work area

It is the locations for the end devices and individual users.

It uses patch cables to connect individual devices to wall jacks.

It has a maximum length of 5 meters.

Straight-through cable is the most common patch cable used.

When a hub or switch is placed in the work area, a crossover cable is typically used to connect the device to the wall jack.

Distribution cabling, also known as horizontal cabling

Horizontal cabling refers to the cables connecting the telecommunication rooms with the work areas.

The maximum length for a cable from a termination point in the telecommunication room to the termination at the work area outlet must not exceed 90 meters.

This 90 meter maximum cabling distance is the permanent link because it is installed in the building structure.

 When planning the LAN cabling, there are 4 areas:

Telecommunications room (distribution facility)

The rooms contain - hubs, switches, routers, and data service units (DSUs) - that tie the network together.

These devices provide the transitions between the backbone cabling and the horizontal cabling.

The patch cord, with a length of up to 5 meters, is used to connect equipment and patch panels in the telecommunications room.

These rooms often serve dual purposes. In many organizations, the telecommunications room also contains the servers.

Backbone cabling (vertical cabling)

Backbone cabling refers to the cabling used to connect telecommunication rooms to the equipment rooms, where the servers are often located.

Backbone cabling also interconnects multiple telecommunications rooms throughout the facility.

These cables are sometimes routed outside the building to the WAN connection or ISP.

Backbones cabling are used for aggregated traffic, such as traffic to and from the Internet and access to corporate resources.

Therefore, backbones typically require high bandwidth media such as fiber-optic cabling.

LAN cabling

Total Cable Length: 100 meters

 For UTP installations, the ANSI/TIA/EIA- 568-B standard specifies that the total combined length of cable spanning the 3 areas listed above is limited to a maximum distance of 100 meters per channel.

This standard specifies there can be up to 5 meters of patch cable for interconnecting patch panels.

There can be up to 5 meters of cable from the cable termination point on the wall to the telephone or computer.

90 meters for the horizontal cable.

LAN and WAN – Types of Media

 Choosing the cables necessary to make a successful LAN or WAN connection requires consideration of the different media types.

UTP (Category 5, 5e, 6, and 7)

Fiber-optics

Wireless

 Each media type has its advantages and disadvantages:

Cable length - Does the cable need to span across a room or from building to building?

Cost - Does the budget allow for using a more expensive media type?

Bandwidth - Does the technology used with the media provide adequate bandwidth?

Ease of installation - Does the implementation team have the ability to install the cable or is a vendor required?

Susceptible to EMI/RFI - Is the local environment going to interfere with the signal?

 Cable Length

The total length of cable required to connect a device includes all cables from the end devices to the intermediary device in the telecommunication room (usually a switch).

For example, when using UTP cabling for Ethernet, it has the recommended maximum distance of 90 (100) meters.

Fiber-optic cables may provide a greater cabling distance-up to 500 meters to a few kilometers depending on the technology.

Attenuation is reduction of the strength of a signal as it moves down a media.

The longer the media, the more attenuation will affect the signal.

Cabling distance is a significant factor in data signal performance.

 Cost

Although fiber provides greater bandwidth than UTP, the material and installation costs are significantly higher.

Network designers must match the performance needs of the users with the cost of the equipment and cabling to achieve the best cost/performance ratio.

 Bandwidth

A fiber cable may be a logical choice for a server connection.

For example, a server generally has a need for more bandwidth than a computer dedicated to a single user.

Wireless is also supporting huge increases in bandwidth, but it has limitations in distance and power consumption.

LAN and WAN – Types of Media

LAN and WAN – Getting Connected

 Ease of Installation

UTP cable is relatively lightweight and flexible and has a small diameter, which allows it to fit into small spaces.

The connectors, RJ-45 plugs, are easy to install and are a standard.

A raceway is an enclosure or tube that encloses and protects the cable.

Many fiber-optic cables contain a thin glass fiber. This creates issues for the bend radius of the cable.

Crimps or sharp bends can break the fiber. The termination of the cable connectors (ST, SC, MT-RJ) are significantly more difficult to install.

Wireless networks require cabling, at some point, to connect devices, such as access points, to the wired LAN.

However, a wireless LAN requires more careful planning and testing.

There are many external factors, such as other radio frequency devices and building construction, that can effect its operation.

 Electromagnetic Interference/Radio Frequency Interference

Interference can be produced by electrical machines, lightning, and other communications devices, including radio equipment.

Interconnected devices in two separate buildings.

Fiber cable is the best choice.

Wireless is the medium most susceptible to RFI.

Before using wireless technology, potential sources of interference must be identified and, if possible, minimized.

Making LAN Connections: RJ-45 connector

 UTP cabling connections are specified by the Electronics Industry Alliance / Telecommunications Industry Association (EIA/TIA).

 The RJ-45 connector is the male component crimped on the end of the cable.

When viewed from the front, the pins are numbered from 8 to 1.

When viewed from above with the opening gate facing you, the pins are numbered 1 through 8, from left to right.

Making LAN Connections: Straight-through UTP Cables

 A straight-through cable has connectors on each end that are terminated the same in accordance with either the T568A or T568B standards.

Identifying the cable standard used allows you to determine if you have the right cable for the job.

More importantly, it is a common practice to use the same color codes throughout the LAN for consistency in documentation.

 Use straight-through cables for the following connections:

Switch to a router Ethernet port

Computer to switch

Computer to hub

Making LAN Connections: Crossover UTP Cables

 For two devices to communicate through a cable that is directly connected between the two, the transmit terminal of one device needs to be connected to the receive terminal of the other device.

The cable must be terminated so the transmit pin, Tx, taking the signal from device A at one end, is wired to the receive pin, Rx, on device B.

Similarly, device B's Tx pin must be connected to device A's Rx pin.

 To achieve this type of connection with a UTP cable, one end must be terminated as EIA/TIA T568A pinout, and the other end terminated with T568B pinout.

 Crossover cables directly connect the following devices on a LAN:

Switch to switch

Switch to hub

Hub to hub

Router to router Ethernet port connection

Computer to computer

Computer to a router Ethernet port

Making LAN Connections: Crossover UTP Cables

1  3 2  6

Making LAN Connections: Console (rollover) Cables

 To initially configure the Cisco device, a management connection must be directly connected to the device. (For Cisco equipment this management attachment is called a console port).

 The cable used between a terminal and a console port is a rollover cable, with RJ-45 connectors. The rollover cable, also known as a console cable. It has a different pinout than the straight-through or crossover RJ-45 cables. The pinout for a rollover is as follows:

1 to 8 2 to 7 3 to 6 4 to 5 5 to 4 6 to 3 7 to 2 8 to 1

Making LAN Connections

 On the figure, identify the cable type used based on the devices being connected.

 Use straight-through cables for connecting:

Switch to router

Computer to switch

Computer to hub

 Use crossover cables for connecting:

Switch to switch

Switch to hub

Hub to hub

Router to router

Computer to computer

Computer to router

Making LAN Connections: MDI or MDIX

 Typically, when connecting different types of devices, use a straight-through cable.

 And when connecting the same type of device, use a crossover cable.

 In an Ethernet LAN, devices use one of two types of UTP interfaces - MDI or MDIX.

The MDI (media-dependent interface) uses the normal Ethernet pinout.

Pins 1 and 2 are used for transmitting and

Pins 3 and 6 are used for receiving.

Devices such as computers, servers, or routers will have MDI connections.

The MDIX (media-dependent interface, crossover) swap the transmit pairs internally.

This swapping allows the end devices to be connected to the hub or switch using a straight- through cable.

www.answers.com/topic/mdi-port

http://www.answers.com/topic/mdi-port

 Many devices allow the UTP Ethernet port to be set to MDI or MDIX. This can be done in one of three ways, depending on the features of the device:

1. On some devices, ports may have a mechanism that electrically swaps the transmit and receive pairs.

The port can be changed from MDI to MDIX by engaging the mechanism.

2. As part of the configuration, some devices allow for selecting whether a port functions as MDI or as MDIX.

3. Many newer devices have an automatic crossover feature.

On some devices, this auto-detection is performed by default. Other devices require an interface configuration command for enabling MDIX auto-detection.

Making LAN Connections: MDI or MDIX

Making WAN Connections

 By definition, WAN links can span extremely long distances.

These distances can range across the globe as they provide the communication links.

 Wide area connections between networks take a number of forms, including:

Telephone line RJ11 connectors for dialup or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connections

60 pin Serial connections

 In the labs, use Cisco routers with one of two types of physical serial cables.

The first cable type has a male DB-60 connector on the Cisco end.

The second type is a more compact version and has a Smart Serial connector on the Cisco device end.

Both cables use a large Winchester 15 Pin connector on the network end.

This end of the cable is used as a V.35 connection to a Physical layer device such as a CSU/DSU.

Making WAN Connections

Making WAN Connections: DCE and DTE

 The following terms describe the types of devices that maintain the link:

Data Communications Equipment (DCE) –

It supplies the clocking services to another device.

It is at the WAN access provider end of the link.

In most cases, the telco or ISP provides the clocking service that synchronizes the transmitted signal.

For example, if a device running at 1.544 Mbps, each receiving device must use a clock, sending out a sample signal every 1/1,544,000th of a second.

Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) –

It receives clocking services from another device and adjusts accordingly.

It is at the WAN customer or user end of the link.

If a serial connection is made directly to a service provider or to a device that provides signal clocking such as a channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU), the router is DTE and will use a DTE serial cable.

 Be aware that there will be occasions, when the local router is required to provide the clock rate and will therefore use a DCE cable.

Making WAN Connections

 When making WAN connections between two routers in a lab environment, connect two routers with a serial cable to simulate a point-to-point WAN link.

In this case, decide which router is going to be the one in control of clocking.

Routers are DTE devices by default, but they can be configured to act as DCE devices.

 The V35 compliant cables are available in DTE and DCE versions. To create a point- to-point serial connection between two routers, join together a DTE and DCE cable.

Each cable comes with a connector that mates with its complementary type.

These connectors are configured so that you cannot join two DCE or two DTE cables together by mistake.

Making WAN Connections

How Many Hosts in the Network?

 To develop an addressing scheme for a network, start with determining the total number of hosts. (current and future )

The end devices requiring an IP address include:

User computers

Administrator computers

Servers

Other end devices such as printers, IP phones, and IP cameras

Network devices requiring an IP address include:

Router LAN interfaces

Router WAN (serial) interfaces

Network devices requiring an IP address for management include:

Switches

Wireless Access Points

 Next, determine if all hosts will be part of the same network, or whether the network as a whole will be divided into separate subnets.

Recall that the number of hosts on one network or subnet is calculated using the formula 2 to the nth power minus 2 (2^n - 2), where n is the number of bits available as host bits.

Recall also that we subtract two addresses - the network address and the network broadcast address - cannot be assigned to hosts.

How Many Network?

 Counting the Subnets

Each subnet, as a physical network segment, requires a router interface as the gateway for that subnet.

Each connection between routers is a separate subnet.

The number of subnets on one network is also calculated using the formula 2^n, where n is the number of bits "borrowed" from the given IP network address.

 Subnet Masks

The next step is to apply one subnet mask:

A unique subnet and subnet mask for each physical segment

A range of usable host addresses for each subnet

 There are many reasons to divide a network into subnets:

Manage Broadcast Traffic - Broadcasts can be controlled because it is divided into a number of smaller domains.

Different Network Requirements - If different groups of users require specific network, it is easier to manage these requirements if those users are all together on one subnet.

Security - Different levels of network security can be implemented based on network addresses.

Determining the Address Standard for our Internetwork

 For example, when allocating an IP address to a router interface that is the gateway for a LAN, it is common practice to use the first (lowest) or last (highest) address within the subnet range. This consistent approach aids in configuration and troubleshooting.

 Similarly, when assigning addresses to devices that manage other devices, using a consistent pattern within a subnet makes these addresses easily recognizable. For example, in the figure, addresses with 64 - 127 in the octets always represent the general users.

 In addition, remember to document your IP addressing scheme on paper.

 Some of the different categories for hosts are:

–General users

–Special users

–Network resources

–Router LAN interfaces

–Router WAN links

–Management access

Calculating Addresses: Case 1

 The network topology for this example:

 Student LAN

Student Computers: 460

Router (LAN Gateway): 1

Switches (management): 20

Total for student subnetwork: 481

 Instructor LAN

Instructor Computers: 64

Router (LAN Gateway): 1

Switches (management): 4

Total for instructor subnetwork: 69

 Administrator LAN

Administrator Computers: 20

Server: 1

Router (LAN Gateway): 1

Switch (management): 1

Total for administration subnetwork: 23

 WAN

Router - Router WAN: 2

Total for WAN: 2

 There are two methods available for allocating addresses to an internetwork.

–We can use Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM), where we assign the prefix and host bits to each network based on the number of hosts in that network.

–Or, we can use a non-VLSM approach, where all subnets use the same prefix length and the same number of host bits.

Calculating Addresses: Case 1: Addresses-without VLSM

 When using the non-VLSM method of assigning addresses, all subnets have the same number of addresses.

We base the number of addresses for all networks on the addressing requirements for the largest network.

 In Case 1, the Student LAN is the largest network, requiring 481 addresses.

 We use 9 as the value for n because 9 is the first power of 2 that is over 481.

Borrowing 9 bits for the host portion yields this calculation:

2^9 = 512

512 - 2 = 510 usable host addresses

This meets the current requirement for at least 481 addresses, with a small allowance for growth. This also leaves 23 network bits (32 total bits - 9 host bits).

 Because there are four networks in our internetwork, we will need four blocks of 512 addresses each, for a total of 2048 addresses.

We will use the address block 172.16.0.0 /23. This provides addresses in the range from 172.16.0.0 to 172.16.7.255.

Calculating Addresses: Case 1: Addresses-without VLSM

 For the Student network block, the values would be:

The student network required 481 address

The address block is 172.16.0.1 to 172.16.1.254.

Only 29 address will go unused

 Instructor LAN

The instructor network requires a total of 69 addresses.

The address block is 172.16.2.1 to 172.16.3.254.

The 441 addresses will go unused.

 Administrator LAN

The administrator network requires a total of 23 addresses.

The address block is 172.16.4.1 to 172.16.5.254.

The 487 addresses will go unused.

 WAN

The WAN network requires a total of 2 addresses.

The address block is 172.16.6.1 to 172.16.7.254.

The 508 addresses will go unused.

 We can use VLSM in this internetwork to save addressing, but using VLSM requires more planning.

Calculating Addresses: Case 1: Addresses-without VLSM

Calculating Addresses: Case 1: Addresses-with VLSM

 For the VLSM assignment, we can allocate a much smaller block of addresses to each network, as appropriate.

 The address block 172.16.0.0/22 (subnet mask 255.255.252.0) has been assigned to this internetwork.

Ten bits will be used to define host and sub networks.

It has a total of 1024 addresses from 172.16.0.0 to 172.16.3.0.

 Student LAN

The largest subnet is the Student LAN requires 481 addresses.

Using the formula usable hosts = 2^n - 2, borrowing 9 bits for the host portion gives 512 - 2 = 510 usable host addresses.

Using the lowest available address gives us of 172.16.0.0 /23.

The IP host range would be 172.16.0.1 through 172.16.1.254.

 Instructor LAN

The next largest network is the Instructor LAN. It requires at least 69 addresses.

Using 6 in the power of 2 formula, 2^6 - 2, only provides 62 usable addresses.

We must use an address block using 7 host bits. The calculation 2^7 -2 will yield a block of 126 addresses.

The next available block is the 172.16.2.0 /25 network.

This provides an IP host range of 172.16.2.1 to 172.16.2.126.

Calculating Addresses: Case 1: Addresses-with VLSM

 Administrator LAN

For the Administrator LAN, we need to accommodate 23 hosts.

This will require the use of 6 host bits: 2^6 - 2.

The next available block of addresses that can accommodate these hosts is the 172.16.2.128 /26 block.

This provides IP host range of 172.16.2.129 to 172.16.2.190.

 WAN

The last segment is the WAN, requiring 2 host addresses.

Only 2 host bits will accommodate the WAN links. 2^2 - 2 = 2.

The next available address block is 172.16.2.192 /30.

This gives an IP host range of 172.16.2.193 to 172.16.2.194.

 This completes the allocation of addresses using VLSM for Case 1. If an adjustment is necessary to accommodate future growth, addresses in the range of 172.16.2.196 to 172.16.3.255 are still available.

Calculating Addresses: Case 1: Addresses-with VLSM

Calculating Addresses: Case 2

 In Case 2, the challenge is to subnet this internetwork while limiting the number of wasted hosts and subnets.

 The figure shows 5 different subnets, each with different host requirements. The given IP address is 192.168.1.0/24.

 The host requirements are:

NetworkA - 14 hosts

NetworkB - 28 hosts

NetworkC - 2 hosts

NetworkD - 7 hosts

NetworkE - 28 hosts

 As we did with Case 1, we begin the process by subnetting for the largest host requirement first.

 In this case, the largest requirements are for NetworkB and NetworkE, each with 28 hosts.

For networks B and E, 5 bits are borrowed from the host portion and the calculation is 2^5 = 32 - 2.

This allows 8 subnets with 30 hosts each.

Network B will use Subnet 0: 192.168.1.0/27

host address range 1 to 30

Network E will use Subnet 1: 192.168.1.32/27

host address range 33 to 62

 The next largest host is NetworkA, followed by NetworkD.

Network A will use Subnet 0: 192.168.1.64/28

host address range 65 to 78

Network D will use Subnet 1: 192.168.1.80/28

host address range 81 to 94

 NetworkC has only two hosts.

Network C will use Subnet 1: 192.168.1.96/30

host address range 97 to 98

 The host requirements are:

–NetworkA - 14 hosts

–NetworkB - 28 hosts

–NetworkC - 2 hosts

–NetworkD - 7 hosts

–NetworkE - 28 hosts

Calculating Addresses: Case 2

Device Interfaces

 Cisco devices, routers, and switches have several types of interfaces.

 LAN Interfaces - Ethernet

The Ethernet interface is used for connecting cables that terminate with LAN devices such as computers and switches.

Several conventions for naming Ethernet interfaces, including AUI (older Cisco devices), Ethernet, FastEthernet and Fa 0/0.

The name used depends on the type and model of the device.

 WAN Interfaces - Serial

Serial interfaces are used for connecting WAN devices to the CSU/DSU.

For lab, we will make a back-to-back connection between two routers, and set a clock rate on one of the interfaces.

To establish communication with a router via a console on a remote WAN, a WAN interface is assigned a IPv4 address.

 Console Interface

The console interface is the interface for initial configuration.

Physical security of network devices is extremely important.

 Auxiliary (AUX) Interface

This interface is used for remote management of the router.

Typically, a modem is connected to the AUX interface for dial-in access.

Device Interfaces

 Typically, networking devices do not have their own displays, keyboards, or input devices such as trackballs and mice. Accessing a network device for configuration, verification, or troubleshooting is made via a connection between the device and a computer.

 To enable this connection, the computer runs a program called a terminal emulator.

A terminal emulator is a software program that allows one computer to access the functions on another device. It allows a person to use the display and keyboard on one computer to operate another device, as if the keyboard and display were directly connected to the other device.

The cable connection between the computer running the terminal emulation program and the device is often made via the serial interface.

Making the Device Management Connection

 To connect to a router or switch for device management using terminal emulation, follow these steps:

 Step 1:

Connect a computer to the console port using console cable.

The console cable, has a DB-9 connector on one end and an RJ-45 connector on the other end.

Many newer computers do not have a serial interface. Use a USB-to-serial cable to access console port.

 Step 2:

For the purpose of this course, we will usually use HyperTerminal. This program can be found under All Programs > Accessories > Communications. Select HyperTerminal.

Open HyperTerminal, configure the port with these settings:

Bits per second: 9600 bps

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: None

 Step 3:

You can access the router by pressing the Enter key.

Summary
