Chapter 7
You Learned

The networking stack used on Windows Vista
computers corresponds roughly to the sevenlayer OSI reference model.

The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
reference model consists of seven layers:
physical, data-link, network, transport, session,
presentation, and application.
Chapter 7
You Learned (cont.)

Ethernet, the data-link layer protocol used on
most LANs, consists of physical layer
specifications, a frame format, and a MAC
mechanism.

The network and transport layer protocols work
together to provide an end-to-end
communication service that achieves the quality
of service required by the application requesting
network services.
Chapter 7
You Learned (cont.)
 The functions of the session, presentation,
and application layers are often combined
into a single application layer protocol.
 Windows Vista includes support for both the
IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
Chapter 7
You Learned (cont.)
 Network Discovery is a Windows Vista
feature that simplifies the task of firewall
configuration by enabling you to block or
allow the protocols and ports needed for the
computer to browse and access the network.
 The Network Map utility uses the Link Layer
Discovery Protocol (LLTD) to detect network
devices and connections.
Chapter 7
You Learned (cont.)
 Most networks use DHCP to configure their
TCP/IP clients, but it is still possible to
configure them manually.
 Windows Vista includes a variety of
command line TCP/IP tools including
Ipconfig.exe, Ping.exe, Tracert.exe, and
Nslookup.exe.
