a cryptographic hash algorithm that generates a 128 bits string value from any length string

Trailer - Packet - Header

Ethernet Frame

Frame Check Sequence

FCS meaning

7 byte (56 bit)

Length of Preamble

Preamble

Allows devices to synchronize their receiver clocks

Start Frame Delimiter

SFD meaning

1 byte (8 bit)

SFD length

SFD

marks the end of the preamble, and the beginning of the rest of the frame

Destination and Source

indicates the devices sending and receiving the frame

Destination and Source

consists of the destination and source MAC Adress

6 byte (48 bit) address of the physical device

length of destination and source

2 byte (16 bit)

Type length

Type or Length

a value of 1500 or less in this field indicates the length of the encapsulated packets

Type or Length

a value of 1356 or greater in this field indicates the _____ of the encapsulated packet and the _____ is determined via another method

FCS

detects corrupted data by running “CRC” algorithm over the received data

MAC Address

Also known as burned in address (BIA)

MAC Address

is globally unique

MAC Address

the first 3 bytes are QUI which is assigned to the company making the device

MAC Address

written as 12 hexadecimal characters

Mac Address for Windows

5C-23-5A-24-2B-3D

Mac Address for Cisco devices

0011.5ccc.5c00

Mac Address for LINUX and IOS

5C:23:5A:24:2B:3D

Address Resolution Protocol

ARP meaning

ARP

is used to discover the layer 2 address (MAC address) of a known layer 3

ARP Request

sent by the device that wants to know the mac address of the other device

ARP Reply

which is sent to inform the requesting the device of the mac address

ARP request is broadcast

sent to all host on the network

ARP request is Unicast

sent only to one host

Ping

a network utility that is used to test reachability

Router Interfaces

have the shutdown command applied by default- will be in the administratively down/down state by default

Switch Interfaces

do not have the shutdown command applied by default- will be in up/up state if connected to another device

Half Duplex

the device cannot send and receive data at the same time. if its receiving a frame, it must wait before sending a frame. device attached to a hub

Full Duplex

the device can send and receive data at the same time. it does not have to wait. device attached to a switch

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection

CSMA/CD meaning

CSMA/CD

in a collision does occur, the device sends a jamming signal to inform the other devices that a collision happened. the process repeats

Speed / Duplex Autonegotation

interfaces advertise their capabilities to the neighboring device, and they negotiate the best speed and duplex settings they are both capable of

Speed

the switch will try to sense the speed that the other device is operating at

Runts

frames that are smaller than the maximum frame size (64 bytes)

Giants

frames that are larger than the maximum frame size (1518 bytes)

CRC

frames that failed the CRC check

Frames

frames that have an incorrect format (due to an error)

Input errors

total of various counters, such as the above four

Output errors

frames the switch tried to send, but failed due to error

Networking Models

categorize and provide a structure for networking protocols and standards

Protocols

are a set of rules defining how network devices and software should work

Protocols

also refer to logical rules about how the devices should communicate, not physical standards

Open System Interconnection Model

OSI Model meaning

Application Layer

• this layer is closest to the end user

• interacts with software applications

Present Layer

• to translate between application and network formats

• it needs to be translated into a different format to be sent over the network

Session Layer

• establishes, manages, and terminates connections between the local application and the remote application

• controls dialogues between communication hosts

Transport Layer

• segments and reassembles data for communications between end hosts

• provide host to host

• break large pieces of data into smaller segments that can be more easily sent over network and are less likely to cause transmission problems if errors occurs

Network Layer

• provides connectivity between end hosts on different networks

• provides logical addressing

Data Link Layer

• provides node to node connectivity and data transfer

• defines how data is formatted for transmission over a physical medium

• detects and corrects physical errors

Physical Layer

• defines physical characteristics of the medium used to transfer data between devices

• digital bits are converted into an electrical signal
