Example text

There are many options for assembling and configuring a LAN, but this example presents a networking approach that is simple and consistent with modern computer networking. It will also provide a good introduction to the networking topics presented in the text. For this example, three computers and one printer are to be configured in the star topology. Each device in the network will be assigned an IP address from the private address space. The following step-by-step discussion guides you through the process of assembling, configuring, and testing an office LAN: Step 1 The first step in assembling an office LAN is to document the devices to be connected in the network and prepare a simple sketch of the proposed network.

The switch stored the MAC addresses of all devices connected to its ports and used this information to forward the data from computer 1 directly to the printer. The switch also used the MAC address information to forward the data from computer 5 to computer 6 (refer to Figure 1-4). MAC addresses are listed in hexadecimal (base-16). The complete MAC address consists of 12 hexadecimal digits. The first 6 digits identify the vendor. The last 6 form a serial number assigned by the manufacturer of the network interface card.

For example, if a switch is used instead of a hub, the data from computer 1 is transmitted directly to the printer, and the other computers do not see the data traffic. The traffic path for the switched network is shown in the dotted lines in Figure 1-4. The use of a switched connection greatly improves the efficiency of the available bandwidth. It also permits additional devices in the LAN to simultaneously communicate with each other without tying up network resources. For example, while computer 1 is printing a large file, computers 5 and 6 can communicate with each other, as shown in the dashed line in Figure 1-4.
