The first step when you studying network is to identify the main
layers of
Network concept there is 7 main layers helps in transferring data
from
Source to destination under authority of main server these 7 layers
1- application layer
2- presentation layer
3- session layer
4- transportation layer
5- network layer
6- data link layer
7- physical layer
We will discuss in detail all layers of network concept but in first we
must
Know the definition of Server band host and destination.
Server: main control unit for transferring data for all stations on
network.
Host: the station want to send data to anther station on network.
Destination: the station will receive data which sent by host.
Now we will discuss meaning of every layer on network concept
Application layer : its concerned with user application and its
directly
contact with these application
Presentation layer : ensure that data was sent from source to
destination
Readable by application layer
Session layer: its concerned with establishes and manages session
between
Two communicating hosts
Transportation layer: it’s concerned with data reassembles into
places On
receiving system
Prepared by Mohammed El Qadi
Network layer: its concerned with paths and design of network witch
data
will transferring through it
Data link layer : its concerned with transmit media like (utp cables,
fiber cable ,..etc)
Physical layer : its concerned with NIC (network interface card ) ,
and
switches, hubs ,………etc
All data we illustrated before refer to OSI model (international
l organization for standardization) now we will describe all
network
topologies and network concepts be very careful about these
definition
of network topology because I think who studying network must be
a ware
of all network topology .
We have 5 main topology networks we illustrated in details now
Bus topology: it’s used single cable to link all computers on one
Backbone connecting directly to each other
Ring topology: All computers connects together in a ring the first
Computer connects to the second computer and the second
computer
Connects to the third computer to the last computer by the same
step and the
Last computer connects to the first computer I think it’s seemed
like a ring.
Star topology: it’s used central control unit to connects all
computer
Together this control unit may be switch or hub
Extended star topology: its seems like star topology but it
difference
In you can connects multiple central control unit together it means
that you
Can connect tow or more networks together by using control unit
Switches
And hub.
I mish topology: all computers connect together from the first
computer
To second and third and the second computer connects to the first
computer
And Third computer and, Etc by the same step.
Switches: it’s central control unit same like hubs used to connect
Group of computers together to make available more than one
computer
Sending and receiving data in the same time but you must know
the
Difference between hubs and switches, hub divide the signal or the
Segment on all ports of hub if it used or unused but switches divide
the signal only on used ports.
• Example to understand the difference between both switch and hub
Suppose that you have switch and hub 8 ports and signal is 128 kb
Per second and you used only 4 ports from switch and hub you
Will find the signal out from hub is 128 divide by 8 and signal out
From switch 128 divide by four only that’s mean hub divide signal
Depends on number of port used or unused and switch divide
signal on
Ports used only.
* Bridges: it’s used to connect more than one LAN together.
Now we will discuss network layers in details we will begin from last
to first
• Physical layer : the function of physical layer is to transmit data by
Defining electrical specification between source and destination
which
Concerned with NIC (network interface card), server and
computers,
You will find more than one kind of network interface card in
market
Like realtek, Kingston, Compaq, 3com, ne200, c100, and other
kinds
All this kinds called network adapter we agree that the network
interface
Card is the device of sending data from computer to another so its
Very important to use network interface card in any network
design to
Make available sending and receiving data.
Another device used by physical layer is server which concerned
with
Control communication between the computers together by
installing an

9- summary of devices, media access control and IP addressing
Sizing of wiring closet: when you want to design a network you must
Determine the size of cables will use on your network and you must
be aware
That any UTP cables the maximum size is 150 meter, any fiber
optical
Cable have maximum size very big than UTP cables.
• Network layer: network layer is responsible for navigating data
over all
Network the function of network layer is to find the best path to
transfer
Data over all network, network layer using two types of address to
identify
the path which data will transfer one called flat address and
another
called hierarchical address.
• Network address: location port used by router.
• Host address: specific port or device on a network.
Network layer is responsible for addressing routers and translates
system
Name to address.
• MAC address : Media access control this address helps us in
designing
Network for every network interface card in a network address this
Address called MAC address if you want to point any station on a
network
You must know its MAC address we used this address in
configuration
network to make policies and procedure every MAC address consist
Of 12 bits the first 6 bits refer to IEEE (institute of electrical and
Electronics engineer).
Network
16 bits Host Address
16 bits
Address
• ARIN (American registry for internal network) classified IP Address
In three Classes class a, class b and class c we will discuss the
three classes
On details.
• Class A: in Class A every IP is divided to 4 parts every part consist
of 8
Bits the first 8 bits to identify the network portion and the another
24 bits is to
Identify the Host Portion.
8 bits 8 bits 8 bits 8 bits
N H H H
N N H H
In Class B the first two bits must be equal 10 in binary system that’s
mean
After you convert the first cell in IP address to binary system the
first two
Number must be equal 10 for example about class B assume that
you
Have IP Address is 131.120.2.5 in this example we convert the first
cell to
Binary system you will found the number like 10000011.

* In class C the first third number in binary system must be equal 110
that’s
Mean after you converting the first cell in IP address to binary
system the
Fist third number must be like 110 for example about class C
assume that
You have IP address 201.110.213.18 after we convert the first cell
to
binary system the number will be like 11001001.

Notes
• In class A the first right number is = 0
• In class B th first two number right is equal = 10
• In class C the first third number is equal = 110
• Most designers or administrator for any network want to dived the
whole
Into smaller parts called subnet work
• What is subnet and subnet mask?
Range of bits needed to create subnet mask depending the type
Of IP classification in class A the range of bits 8 bit.
• In class B the range of bits 16 in class C the range of bits is 24
that’s depending
Of the portion of every IP type to understand this part look to the
Illustrate figure later.
• Question: in the address 131.108.0.0 what are the routing bits?
Answer: to determine routing bits for this IP you must in first
determine
The classification of this IP A,B,C By selecting the first octal
number
And converted it to binary system to identify which class this IP
131 this is the first octal number in binary system the number will
Be like 10000011.
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
That’s mean this IP is classified as class C then the range of routing
bits is
24 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.224
Protocols
Router is type of internetworking device the function of any router
is to
Determine the best path on the network to transfer data through
the main
Function is to process data packets between networks.
• Routers : in network there are two address schema one called
MAC address) based on layer (2) and anther called IP address
based on
Layer (3) ,there are difference between routers , switches, bridges
are
Used MAC address to make data forwarding decision based on
layer (2)
Data link layer but router used IP address to make data forwarding
Decision based on layer (3) Network layer.
• Mac Address: is media access control which is assigned by network
interface
card but the network administrator who assign IP address .
Routers used to connect two or more network together but each
network must
have a unique number in order to routing successfully.
