IntroductionSome time ago, Cisco split the general LAN topic of layer 2 switching and bridging into "LAN Protocols" and "Bridging & Switching". At that time, you needed to know about non-IP protocols such as routable Novell IPX (with multiple layer 2 options), AppleTalk DDP, and a few others, as well as the nonroutable Microsoft NetBEUI and DEC LAT.
All of these non-IP protocols at OSI layers 2 and 3, however, have dropped off the Cisco requirements. Additional Ethernet variants, such as frame extensions and several new physical media (e.g., Gigabit Ethernet and Ten Gigabit Ethernet) have been added.
This tutorial complements the CCNA "L2 Bridging and Switching" paper, as well as providing some updates at the CCNP and CCIE level. Those latter updates deal primarily with new media.
Network Design Concept to Know Now...Relays between physical segments, used to increase the cable length by regenerating unchanged frames, are called repeaters. Repeaters can interconnect two cables to give greater range, or to change between media used at the same speed, such as 100 Mbps on twisted pair and 100 Mbps on optical fiber. Multiport repeaters, also called hubs, are a "shared medium in a box" that are principally used to simplify cabling. In other words, repeaters are limited to point-to-point or star topologies. Relays that interconnect segments at the frame level, which can, among other things, limit the interactions of devices connected to a common medium, are called bridges or L2 switches. When you interconnect separate physical bridges, their interconnection can be a branching tree, more complex than the topology possible with repeaters. The spanning tree algorithm, as the topological rule is called, allows only one active L2 link between any two stations, although links can be in standby, and L1 redundancy can be used (see my High Availability CCIE Study Guide). Routers and L3 switches, in contrast, can have arbitrary topologies, including full mesh and many kinds of load sharing. |
According to Dan Farkas, "To do a brief review of the basics, it's important to start at the beginning. First the earth cooled, then there was life in the sea. Some of these beings crawled on to land, and decided it would be fun to evolve into the human race. The human race mastered fire, invented the wheel, and sliced bread. Then, in 1972 at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center, man developed the concept of local area multi-access networks with Xerox's Experimental Ethernet specification.
