Lesson 27 - IPv4 Address Dissected - Part 1

Lesson 27 - IPv4 Address Dissected - Part 1 If you already feel comfortable with binary-to-decimal and decimal-to-binary conversions you're up to this post's challenge: learning more about IP version 4 address (IPv4). If you need to brush upon the numeral conversions, check my  previous post . In one of the earlier posts on  TCP/IP traffic flow , I briefly described the importance of the addresses. In order for devices to communicate they must be uniquely identified in the network after all. There are typically three such identifiers we use to distinguish between devices: Names  - These are used by humans. Applications use addresses not names. Hence, DNS services out there (DNS service is used to resolve names-to-ip, and ip-to-names).  Layer 3 addresses  -  logical  and  hierarchical  unique identifiers of devices in the network. All layer 3 protocols such as IPX, Apple-Talk, IP etc. use different forms of layer 3 addresses.  Layer 2 addresses  -  flat  and most ofte

Lesson 21 - Spanning-Tree Protocol in Practice

Lesson 21 - Spanning-Tree Protocol in Practice Previous post was designed to present in a nutshell the STP operation. However, without some practice it's just academic knowledge. I think it is a good idea to look at the same concepts using real equipment. Here goes... The below topology (pic. 1) uses redundant links which create the loops. Pic. 1 - Network Topology Icons designed by: Andrzej Szoblik -   http://www.newo.pl If there's one thing the administrator should do with such design, that would be configuring the root bridge. Typically, the most powerful switch in the center of the network plays that role. You do not want some access switch to be transmitting the frames between other switches. Access switches are designed to connect your computers to the network, and not to handle the majority of the traffic between the switches which root bridge must deal with. If you do not configure root bridge yourself, the switch with the lowest MAC address becomes th

Lesson 4 - Introduction to TCP/IP Layers

Lesson 4 - Introduction to TCP/IP Layers In this lesson we take a sneak peek at the fundamentals regarding TCP/IP. This is one of the most important aspects to understand in order to follow the upcoming lessons. It is not my ambition to explain everything here as this would turn into a hefty book to read. You can find a lot of them on the market anyway. Instead, I will try to focus on some basic aspects of TCP/IP. They will constitute the minimum knowledge to help us understand how computers communicate. If you feel the urge to learn more on TCP/IP right now please visit the following site:  http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_toc.htm NOTICE! Familiarize yourself with ALL terms in red. They will be used throughout the classes. Introduction Computer communication follows some well defined rules and guidelines which we call  protocols . In order for the computers to exchange data they have to agree on using the same rules, otherwise they become incompatible. That was the case in t
