Preface
Networks are groups of computers that communicate by either cable or wireless transmissions. By
the use of computer networking, we can share data with others. Today, all businesses, small or
large use some type of computers and most use computer networking to handle their daily
business operations such as bookkeeping, inventory tracking, document storing, and e-mail.
Networks are growing in size and complexity and this trend has created a rapid increase for
networking engineers to provide practical and efficient solutions. Networking needs vary from one
network to another; there is no such thing as one size fits all. Also, a properly designed network
must allow for expansion. The management of a small company may feel that this advanced
technology is of no use to them since their monetary budget is limited. However, with proper
planning, small companies can start with an affordable and versatile network and later expand on
the next level of affordability.
This text is the second edition and presents updated networks material. The word design on
the title of this book implies the purchasing and installation of the essential hardware and
software that one must collect to assemble an effective computer network. Basically, it means the
building of a network. The word management is used to denote the duties and responsibilities of
a network administrator. Of course, one may argue that network management should include the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Remote Monitoring (RMON). While this is
true, a detailed treatment of those two topics are beyond the scope of this book. Chapters 8 and 9
are introductions to those two topics. SNMP and RMON are discussed in books that are devoted
just to these topics.
This book is primarily intended for those student and working professionals that have the desire to
become network administrators. However, all practicing engineers will find it to be a very valuable
source of information on this subject. It contains very interesting topics, and with the exception of
a simple example on Chapter 1, the material requires no mathematical operations.
The author makes no claim to originality of content or of treatment, but has taken care to present
concepts, definitions, and statements.
A few years ago, telephone networks and computer networks were considered two separate
entities. Nowadays, these two technologies are rapidly merging into one. For this reason, Chapter
1 begins with a discussion of the basic components of telephone and computer networks, and their
interaction. This chapter continues with the introduction of the centralized and distributive
processing networks, and outlines the differences among these networks. It concludes with a
discussion of Local Area Networks (LANs), Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs), and Wide
Area Networks (WANs).
Chapter 2 begins with a discussion on protocols to establish their relevance to the International
Standards Organization (OSI) Management Model. Protocols are covered in more detail on
Chapter 3. This chapter introduces several network devices and identify those that operate at
different layers of the OSI model. It concludes with a discussion of the IEEE 802 Standards.
Chapter 3 introduces several protocols including X.25, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, AppleTalk,
and DNA. In this chapter, we learn how these protocols combine to form a suite of protocols that
work at the various layers of the OSI model.
Chapter 4 presents the various physical network connections. It begins with the different physical
topologies, bus, star, ring, and mesh. Then, it introduces the network types including the
ARCNet, Ethernet, Token Ring, and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI). A discussion of
the wiring types and methods used in each of these network types is also included.
Chapter 5 begins with a discussion of the different buses, past and present. Network adapters are
discussed next. The chapter concludes with the introduction of the different components that
work together to provide source-to-destination data transmissions between devices on the same
network or different networks. Discussions on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are also included.
Chapter 6 focuses on wired and wireless transmissions. No previous knowledge of data
communications is required for understanding the topics of this chapter.
Chapter 7 is devoted to discussions on the various types of networks that we can use for our needs,
the hardware and software required, and tasks that a network administrator must perform to
maintain the network(s) he is responsible for. These tasks include security and safeguarding data
from internal and external disasters.
Chapters 8 and 9 are introductions to SNMP and RMON respectively.
This text contains five appendices, A through E. Appendix A is a brief introduction to network
analysis as defined in operations research which is a branch of mathematics concerned with
financial and engineering economic problems. A simple and yet practical example is included.
Appendix B contains a review of the binary information representation, and the standard codes
used for information processing systems, communications systems, and associated equipment. It
provides the basic concepts to illustrate how networking devices work and communicate with
others. Appendix C is a review of the decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal numbers, their
representation, and conversion from one base to another. The conversion procedures are
illustrated with several examples. Appendix D is an introduction to RSA Encryption. Finally,
Appendix E is a glossary of terms and acronyms that are used in networks and on the Internet.
Like any other new book, this text may not be completely error-free; accordingly, all feedback for

1.1.2 Information Theory

Information theory is concerned with the mathematical laws governing the transmission, reception,
and processing of information. More specifically, information theory deals with the numerical
measurement of information, the representation of information (such as encoding), and the
capacity of communication systems to transmit, receive, and process information. Encoding can
refer to the transformation of speech or images into electric or electromagnetic signals, or to the
encoding of messages to ensure privacy.
Information theory was first developed in 1948 by the American electrical engineer Claude E.
Shannon. The need for a theoretical basis for communication technology arose from the increasing complexity and crowding of communication channels such as telephone and teletype networks and radio communication systems. Information theory also encompasses all other forms of
information transmission and storage, including television and the electrical pulses transmitted in
computers and in magnetic and optical data recording.

Problems
26. Use serverbased networking architecture and setup permissions on the server to allow for
the individual case needs.
27. This is a peertopeer network; accordingly, no central user account database exists. Therefore, for the administrator to allow each of the users in the office access to resources on his/
hers computer with the correct permissions, he/she had to create accounts on his/her computer for each of them. After their accounts were created, he/she could then assign permissions to each of those accounts. If she had not created individual accounts, his/her only
other option would have been to assign permissions to the everyone group. In that case,
everyone would end up with the same permissions for each resource.

Chapter 2 The OSI Model and IEEE 802 Standards

Dynamic routing uses three types of routing protocols. These are distance vector, link state, and
hybrid.
Distance vector Distance is the number of router hops to the destination. With this routing
method routers use the socalled distance metric where each router adds its
hop to the metric to calculate the best route to the destination. Routers pass
routing tables to their nearest neighbors in all directions. At each exchange,
the router increments the distance value received for a route, thereby applying its own distance value to that route as shown in Figure 2.15.
1
First Hop
1+1=2 Second Hop
2+1=3 Third Hop
Figure 2.15. Distance vector routing
Generally, distancevector protocols are limited to 16 hops and are used in

internetworks with less that 50 routers. But because they are simple and easy
to configure, they are the most widely used.

The X.25 Protocol

START
Request to Send
(ENQ)
No
(NAK)
ENQ = Enquiry Signal It is initiated whenever the transmitter wishes

to make contact with the receiver
ACK = Acknowledgement Signal The receiver responds with this
signal informing the transmitter that data may be sent.
NAK = Negative Acknowledgement, Control Code ASCII Character 21
EOT = End Of Transmission
The data to be sent are divided in blocks (frames) and the

transmitter keeps track of these by a numbering system. Thus,
the transmitter initializes Block Number 1 (B=1) and transmits
that block. If the receiver acknowledges reception of the first
Acknowledge
?
ACK Yes
Initialize Block No.
B=1
block and if everything goes well, the transmitter will send the
remaining blocks (total of ten for this example) and will check
to see if all blocks have been sent. Subsequently, the transmitter
will terminate the communication by sending an End of
Transmission signal (EOT).
Data Transmitted
No
NAK
Note: This flow chart is an oversimplification of the actual

operation since it suffers from one serious flow, i.e., if the
receiver sends a NAK, the flow chart enters an endless loop.
Received
?
ACK Yes
This problem is solved by employing a Retry (Time Out)

counter that would limit the number of times a transmitter
would request to send data to a particular receiver.
B=B+1
B = 10
?
No
EOT
STOP

3.2.4 Link Control

The link is controlled by means of the two bytes that follow the opening flag. These bytes are:
1. The Address Byte used to distinguish between command and responses made by the DCE or
DTE terminals at either end of the link A typical fourwire, fullduplex link is shown in Figure 3.5.

Physical Topologies
Figure 4.4. T connector
4.1.2 Star Topology

The star topology uses a separate cable for each workstation, as shown in Figure 4.5. The cable
connects each workstation to a central device referred to as a hub.*
Workstation
Hub
Figure 4.5. Network using Star Topology
The star architecture is more reliable network than the bus and it is easily expanded. With the
star, there is no central point of failure within the cable. If there is a problem with one cable that
connects a particular workstation to the hub, only that station is affected.
It may appear that a hub may become inoperative causing the entire star network architecture to
become inoperative also. This is highly unlikely because the hub is, in general, a passive device.
That is, hubs are very similar to patch panels where no power is required. However, some hubs are
active, and as such, require external power. Active hubs are employed in cases where it is necessary to regenerate weak signals so that they can be transmitted over greater distances. Hubs are
referred to as IEEE Class I and IEEE Class II repeaters. An IEEE Class I repeater is an active hub
and a Class II repeater is a passive hub.
* A hub is a device joining communication lines at a central location, providing a common connection to all devices on the network.

Chapter 4 Network Designs and Ethernet Networking

Installing and configuring Ethernet adapters inside the computer case
Many of the current adapters have connections for the Ethernet. They include a 15pin AUI
connector, a coax connector, and an RJ45 connector for UTP cable. When using coax cable, it
is important to connect the trunk using a T connector, which connects to either another cable
segment or to a terminator. Figure 4.13 shows a Fast (100BaseTX) Ethernet adapter.
Figure 4.13. Fast Ethernet Adapter (Courtesy 3 Com)
Ethernet USB Adapter

An adapter such as the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet USB adapter shown in Figure 4.14 is the easiest
way to get a computer ready to share Internet access is through an available USB port. The
Adapter simply plugs in to connect the PC to the cable or DSL modem, and also to share files
and peripherals with other computers that are connected to the network. With instant, Plug
andPlay USB and a setup with included software, one can add sharing capability without opening the computer case to install an Ethernet card.
4.2.4 Token Ring

The Token Ring network is a tokenpassing, ringshaped local area network that was developed
by IBM operating at 4 Mbps. With standard telephone wiring, the Token Ring network can connect up to 72 devices; with shielded twistedpair wiring, the network supports up to 260 devices.
Although it is based on a ring (closed loop) topology, the Token Ring network uses starshaped
clusters of up to eight workstations connected to a wiring concentrator MultiStation Access Unit
(MSAU), which, in turn, is connected to the main ring.

Network Types
Figure 4.14. 10/100 Mbps Ethernet USB Adapter (Courtesy Belkin International, Inc.)
The Token Ring network is designed to accommodate microcomputers, minicomputers, and

mainframes; it follows the IEEE 802.5 standard. Figure 4.15 shows an IBM token ring configuration with MSAUs.

Figure 4.15. IBM Token Ring with MSAUs
While the arrangement of Figure 4.15 seems feasible since it each device is connected to the
MAU, inside the central device, the ports are connected in a ring. The ring configuration does
have one major weakness: there is a single point of failure. If there is a break in the ring, the entire
ring breaks down. To help overcome this deficiency, Token Ring hubs can detect a break in the
ring and disconnect that portion of the ring, allowing them to route the ring around the failed
area. Figure 4.16 shows a practical ring arrangement on a Token Ring network.

Repeaters are very inexpensive and provide an easy way to extend a network. However, any more
segments or repeaters that would violate the 543 rule, would cause timing problems and would
affect the collision detection used by the Ethernet.
5.3.2 Bridge
A bridge is device that connects and controls the flow of traffic between two LANs, or two segments of the same LAN. The two LANs being connected can be alike or dissimilar. For example,
a bridge can connect an Ethernet with a TokenRing network. Bridges are protocolindependent. They simply forward packets without analyzing and rerouting messages.
Bridges operate at the Data Link layer of the OSI model and, like a repeater, attach two different
network segments and pass data. The fundamental difference between a repeater and a bridge is
that a repeater allows all data to pass through, whereas a bridge checks the data and determines
whether they should be allowed to pass or not. For instance, if a network segment has a workstation and a server both on the same side of a bridge and these are exchanging information with
each other, the bridge senses this and does not allow passage of the data. Had this been a
repeater, the data would have been passed. Figure 5.8 shows two network segments interconnected with a bridge.

6.2.6 Multiplexing
Multiplexers are discussed in Chapter 5. Let us review the concept of multiplexing and also discuss frequency division multiplexing. We recall that multiplexing offers an efficient method of
using a single highbandwidth channel to transmit many lowerbandwidth channels. That is, we
can combine several lowbandwidth channels form a single highbandwidth channel for transmitting signals.
A Multiplexer/Demultiplexer (MUX/DEMUX) is the hardware device that allows the channels to
be joined for transmission over a single cable and to be separated at the receiving station. Both
broadband and baseband transmissions can benefit from this technique. A commonly known use
of this technique is cable TV. Many channels are sent across one cable. The channel changer on
the cable box is a demultiplexer that separates the signal. The multiplexing method used depends
on whether the transmission is broadband or baseband. These two types of multiplexing are Time
Division Multiplexing (TDM) and Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM). In TDM all signals use
the same frequency but operate at different times, while in FDM, all signals operate at the same time
with different frequencies.
The concepts of TDM and FDM are illustrated in Figures 6.4 and 6.5 respectively.

Chapter 7
Network Design and Administration
his chapter discusses the various types of networks that the networks administrator can use
to build for his/her needs, the hardware and software required, and tasks that a network
administrator must perform to maintain the network(s) he/she is responsible for. These
tasks include security and safeguarding data from internal and external disasters.
7.1 Network Design Considerations

There are many factors that networks administrator must consider before designing the network.
The most important consideration is the assessment of the networking needs. The networks
administrator must consider which features and benefits are most vital to his network. The word
design, as used here, means the collection and installation of the essential hardware and software that he must possess to assemble and place in operation his network.
The following items are of utmost importance:
Versatility: Networking needs vary from one network to another. In networking there is no
such thing as one size fits all.
Expandability: The original network design must allow for a wide variety in expansion capabil-
ities including scalability.*
Affordability: It is true that advanced technology is no good unless one can afford it. But he
can start with an affordable and versatile network and expand in the next level of affordability.
Next, the administrator must provide answers to the following questions:

Where the computers, printers, and other peripherals will be located?
Which computers will be networked and how far apart are they? Will all be located in a large
open space or in rooms separated by walls?
What networks speeds are required?

What applications and operating systems will be used?
What type of Internet connections will be used?
* Scalability means that newer and faster versions of LANs can be integrated into networks with older and slower hardware
devices while adding on new segments that run at higher data rates.

8.8 Management Information Bases (MIBs)

A Management Information Base (MIB) is a database of managed objects accessed by network
management protocols. An SNMP MIB is a set of parameters which an SNMP management station can query or set in the SNMP agent of a network device such as a router. Figure 8.4 shows
an MIB that counts all data passing through a router.

Figure 8.4. An MIB that counts all data passing through an router
In Figure 8.4, the data count obtained from each interface, shown by an arrow, is a managed
object instance, but the total count of data from all four interfaces is a managed object.
SNMP contains two standard MIBs. The first, MIB I, established in RFC 1156, was defined to
manage the TCP/IPbased internet. MIB II, defined in RFC 1213, is basically an update to MIB
I. MIBII refers to the current definition. SNMPv2 includes MIBII and adds some new objects.
There are MIB extensions for each set of related network entities that can be managed. For
example, there are MIB definitions specified in the form of Requests for Comments (RFCs) for
Domain Name System (DNS), Fiber DistributedData Interface (FDDI), and RS232C network
objects. Product developers can create and register new MIB extensions. Companies that have
created MIB extensions for their sets of products include Cisco, Fore, IBM, Novell, QMS, and
Onramp.

Chapter 9 Introduction to Remote Monitoring (RMON)

9.2 How RMON Works
Figure 9.1 shows a typical RMON configuration. Like SNMP, a typical RMON configuration consists of a central Network Management Station (NMS) and a remote monitoring device, called an
RMON agent.
Router with data

collection modul

NMS with RMON
Management Software

Ethernet LAN Segment 1
Ethernet LAN Segment 2
Figure 9.1. Typical RMON Configuration
The NMS can be a Windowsbased or UNIXbased workstation or PC running a network management application that performs tasks as gathering statistics by monitoring packets of data on an
Ehernet segment, and storing information in accordance with the RMON specification. From the
NMS we can issue SNMP commands requesting information from the RMON agent. The RMON
agent sends the requested information to the NMS which then processes and displays this information on a console.
NIKSUN, www.niksun.com, has introduced the NetVCR Solution, a system that performs monitoring and analysis and supports critical RMON I and II groups. The RMON MIBs generated by
NetVCR allow network management systems to remotely access RMON data collected by NetVCRs recording interfaces. The user can set alarm thresholds on the NetVCR appliance.
The Bay Networks Implementation of RMON is shown in Figure 9.2. It consists of a BayStack
AN or BayStack ANH base module, the Data Collection Module (DCM), the Data Collection
Module MiddleWare (DCMMW), the DCM Flash memory module, and the RMON agent.
