Boot Processes
• Boot Instructions – stored in ROM until used
• Software Applications – stored in RAM after
loading
• RAM and ROM – talk to CPU through the bus
• Saved Information – flows from RAM to storage
device
• Exported Information – flows from RAM through
bus to external device such as the printer

NIC
• Network Interface Card
– printed circuit board that provides network
communication capabilities to and from a personal
computer
• A.K.A. Lan Adapter
– Can be designed for Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI
(IMPORTANT)
• Requires:
– IRQ, I/O Address, Upper Memory address in Win
95,98, NT
Network Card Selection Criteria
• Type of Network
– Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring
• Type of Media
– Twisted Pair, Fiber Optic, Coaxial Cable
• Type of Bus
– PSI or ISA or PCMCIA (lap top)
• Half duplex or full duplexing
• 10 mbs or 100 mbs

• Computer works in Binary
– Two states - On/Off; Current/No Current
– Computer translates from decimal to binary and from
binary to decimal

IP Addressing
• IP address is used to identify PC to network (at
layer 3 of OSI model)
• IP address is used to send traffic over WAN
• IP address is usually in dotted decimal format
(does not have to be)
– 123.122.234.255
– In binary 01111011.01111010.11101010.11111111

Networks
• A network is an entity - an intricately
connected system of objects or people.
• Networks are all around us, even inside us.
• Your own nervous system and
cardiovascular system are networks.
• There can several types of networks
• Think of some
Networks Accomplish Many
Tasks
• Avoid duplication of equipment and
resources
• Allow us to communicate efficiently
• Enable us to manage computing resources
• Support shared resources
Network Types
• LAN
– Building, Campus (group of building)
• MAN
– Metropolitan Area
• WAN
– Entire world – can even include outer space
LAN Characteristics
• Operate within a limited geographic area
• Allow multiple access to high bandwidth
media
• Control private (autonomous) networks
• Provide full-time connectivity to local
services
• Connect physically adjacent devices
WANS
• Operate over wide geographic areas
• Allow access over serial interfaces
operating at lower speeds
• Provide full-time and part-time connectivity
• Connect devices located over wide
geographic areas
• WANS connect LANS
Bandwidth
• Measure of how much information can flow
from one place to another in a given amount
of time
• Two types – digital and analog
• Cisco course deals with digital bandwidth
• Measured in BITS (b) per second
Analogies for Bandwidth
• Pipe line
– Bandwidth is pipes
– Network devices are valves; fittings; packet is water
• Highway
– Bandwidth is lanes
– Packets are vehicles; network devices are signals, on
ramps, etc.
• Audio Systems
– Network devices are telephones, CD-ROMS
– Packets are music
Bandwidth is Important
• It is finite
• It can save money
• It is key measure of network design and
performance
• It is key to understanding Internet
• The demand for it increases constantly
Throughput
• The formula is Estimated Time = Size of
File / Bandwidth
• Throughput is always less than Bandwidth
• Bandwidth is used to design networks
• Throughput is used to evaluate network
performance
Media
• Coaxial Cable
– 50 ohm and 75 ohm
• Twisted Pairs
– Shielded and Unshielded
• Fiber Optics
– Single Mode and Multi Mode (62.5/125)
• Wireless
