Ccna1 Module3

This document discusses different network media types used in Cisco networks. It covers copper media like twisted pair cables and coaxial cable, as well as optical fiber media including multimode and single-mode fiber. It also discusses wireless LAN standards like 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and their transmission methods. Wireless security methods such as WEP encryption, EAP, and VPNs are also summarized. The document provides information on Cisco Certified Network Associate certification and was presented by Turku Polytechnic.

CCNA1 – Module 3 – Media
• Copper media
– Data is coded with electricity
– Cable specifications (10BASE-T)
– Coaxial cable, shielded twisted-pair cable,
screened twisted pair cable,
unshielded twisted pair cable (most popular)
– Three different types of twisted pair cables:
• Straight-through, crossover and rollover
CCNA1 – Module 3 – Media
• Optical media
– Data is coded with light
– Wavelength used in fiber is either 850nm, 1310
nm or 1550nm (visible light is between 400 –
700 nm)
– Only one ray (created by LED or LASER) of
light is in use (compare to light bulb)
CCNA1 – Module3 – Media
• Data transmission is based on reflection
• Reflected ray will always refract when
traveling through transparent material (e.g.
Class)
• Fiber optic
– Multimode fiber, core 50 or 62,5 microns
– Single-mode fiber, core 8,3 to 10 microns
– Cladding in both 125 microns
CCNA1 – Module 3 – Media
• Problems with fiber
– Attenuation
– Scattering
– Absorption
– Dispersion
– Microbend and macrobend
– Splicing
CCNA1 – Module 3 – Media
• Wireless LAN
– 802.11, 1997, 1 to 2 Mbps, 2,4 GHz
– 802.11b, 1999, WI-FI, up to 11 Mbps, 2,4 GHz
– 802.11a, 1999, up to 54 Mbps, 5 GHz
– 802.11g, 2003, up to 54Mbps, 2,4 GHz
– Rate doubling (108 Mbps) with proprietary
technology
CCNA1 – Module 3 – Media
• There is three different types of radio transmission
within 2,4 GHz:
– Frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
– Direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) 802.11,
802.11b
– Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)
802.11g

• And one within 5 GHz: OFDM 802.11a


CCNA1 – Module 3 – Media
• 802.11 differ from traditional Ethernet by
frames. Only data frame have some
similarities to Ethernet frame.
• Two other frame types are:
– Management frame
– Control frame
CCNA1 – Module 3 – Media
• Authentication can be null process or can be
handled e.g. with authentication server.
• Two methods of authentication
– Open connectivity with SSID
– Shared key connection with Wireless
Equivalency protocol (WEP) encryption
– Either doesn’t prevent hacking
CCNA1 – Module 3 – Media
• Association happens after authentication.
There are three different types:
– Unauthenticated and unassociated
– Authenticated and unassociated
– Authenticated and associated
CCNA1 – Module 3 – Media
• Wireless security
– VPN technologies
– EAP-MD5 challenge (=CHAP)
– LEAP (Cisco), Lightweight Extensible
Authentication Protocol
– User authentication
– Encryption
– Data authentication
UTP
Fiber
