model. The model addresses hardware, software, and
data transmission

10. Host-to-Host Communications
The OSI reference model provides a means of
describing how data is transmitted over a network.
The model addresses hardware, software, and data
transmission.

11. Host-to-Host Communications
Peer-to-Peer Communication
So that data packets can travel from the source to the
destination, each layer of the OSI model at the source must
communicate with its peer layer at the destination. This topic
describes the process of peer-to-peer communication.
During the process of peer-to-peer communication, the
protocols at each layer exchange packets of information called
protocol data units (PDUs) between peer layers.
These data packets originate at a source on a network and then
travel to a destination. Each layer depends on the OSI layer
below it to provide a service. To perform its service function, the
lower layer uses encapsulation to put the protocol data unit
(PDU) from the upper layer into lower layer data field. Each
layer then adds whatever headers the layer needs to perform its
function. As the data moves down from Layer 7 through Layer 2
of the OSI model, additional headers are added.

12. Host-to-Host Communications
The network layer provides a service to the transport layer,
and the transport layer presents data to the network
subsystem. The network layer moves the data through the
Internet by encapsulating the data and attaching a header
to create a packet (the Layer 3 PDU). The header contains
information required to complete the transfer, such as
source and destination logical addresses.
The data link layer provides a service to the network layer
by encapsulating the network layer packet in a frame (the
Layer 2 PDU). The frame header contains the physical
addresses required to complete the data link functions,
and the frame trailer contains the FCS.
The physical layer provides a service to the data link layer,
encoding the data-link frame into a pattern of 1s and 0s
(bits) for transmission on the medium (usually a wire) at
Layer 1.

16. Ethernet history
First LAN was Ethernet, designed at Xerox
1980 Ethernet standard published by DIX (Digital, Intel, Xerox)
1985 IEEE modified Ethernet standard and published as 802.3
Ethernet802.3

Ability to incorporate new technologies (e.g. fibre
optic, higher bandwidths)

20. Switching table
Switch builds a switching table
matching its port numbers to the
MAC addresses of devices connected
to them.
When a frame arrives, it reads the
destination MAC address, looks it
up in the table, finds the right port
and forwards the frame.

21. Flooding
If the switch does not find the destination address in
its table then it floods the frame through all ports
except the incoming port.
Broadcast messages are flooded.

22. Learning addresses
The switch learns addresses by looking at the source
MAC address of an incoming frame.
It then matches the address to the port where the
frame came in and puts the information in its table.
Entries are time stamped and removed from the table
when the time runs out.
They can be refreshed when another frame comes in
from the same host.

23. ARP table
A host wants to send a message.
It knows the destination IP address and puts it in the
packet header.
It looks in its ARP table and finds the corresponding
MAC address.
It puts the MAC address in the frame header.

24. Internetwork Operating System
Most Cisco devices use the Cisco IOS.
Details vary with the device and feature set.
Normal access through a command line.
Stored in flash memory and can be upgraded.
Usually copied into RAM when the device is powered
on, and run from RAM.
25. Router prompts
User EXEC mode
Privileged EXEC mode
Global Configuration mode
Specific Configuration modes
Router>
Router#
Router(config)#
Router(config-if)#
and others
26. EXEC modes
You log in to User EXEC mode
Router>
You can give basic monitoring commands but cannot
change the configuration
Enter enable to go to Privileged EXEC mode
Router#
Password may be used for security
You can give more commands and can go to
configuration modes
27. Configuration modes
Start in privileged EXEC mode and enter the
configure terminal (config t) command
Router# config t
Router(config)#
The prompt changes
This is global configuration mode
Additional commands take you to interface
configuration, router configuration etc.
28. Console password
Paris(config)#line con 0
Paris(config-line)#password cisco
Paris(config-line)#login
Paris(config-line)#exit
Restricts access via the console
Use cisco as the password in labs.
Use a proper strong password on production
networks
29. Vty password for Telnet
Paris(config)#line vty 0 4
Paris(config-line)#password cisco
Paris(config-line)#login
Paris(config-line)#exit
Allows and restricts access via 5 vty lines
Use cisco as the password in labs.
Use a proper strong, different password on
production networks
30. Enable and enable secret
Paris(config)#enable secret class
The password class is needed when you type enable
to enter privileged exec mode
This password is encrypted
Paris(config)#enable password cisco
Not encrypted, used on older routers
If you configure both, then only the enable secret is
used.
31. Back up to TFTP server
Start TFTP server software on host
Paris#copy running-config tftp
Remote host []? 172.16.1.1
Name of configuration file to write [Paris-config]?
Paris12Oct07
Write file Paris12Oct07 to 172.16.1.1? [confirm] y
Writing Paris12Oct07 ! ! ! ! ! ! [OK]
32. Erase startup configuration
Paris#erase NVRAM:startup-config
Paris#erase startup-config
Paris#erase start
If you reload, then the router starts up with the
default configuration. No passwords, no IP addresses
etc.
Caution if you get this command wrong then you
could erase something else, e.g. IOS
33. Restore file from TFTP server
Router#copy tftp running-config
You will be prompted for IP address and file name.
Configuration is copied into RAM and takes effect at
once.
Save to NVRAM.
34. Configure a router interface
Paris(config)#interface FastEthernet 0/0
Paris(config-if)#ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.0.0
Paris(config-if)#no shutdown
Paris(config-if)#exit
Interface names vary, depending on whether the
router is modular and on the bandwidth.
E.g. interface Ethernet 0 on an older router
35. Configure a router interface
Paris(config)#interface serial 0/0
Paris(config-if)#ip address 192.168.4.1 255.255.255.0
(Paris(config-if)#clock rate 64000)
Paris(config-if)#no shutdown
Paris(config-if)#exit DCE only
36. Switch IP address
The switch IP address goes on a virtual interface, not
a real one, normally VLAN1.
SwA(config)#interface VLAN1
SwA(config-if)#ip address 172.16.255.1 255.255.0.0
SwA(config-if)#no shutdown
SwA(config-if)#exit
37. Interface – show commands
show interfaces states whether up or down, gives
some protocol information and statistics about
interface use.
show ip interface gives IP addresses and much
more.
show ip interface brief gives summary of IP
addresses and whether up/down. Very useful
command.
38. Summary
