Marking LAN Connections

Straight-Through Cable have the same
termination at each end T568A or T568B

Two types of UTP interfaces: MDI and

MDIX.
The MDI (media-dependent interface):
Uses the normal Ethernet pinout. Pins 1
and 2 are used for transmitting and pins
3 and 6 are used for receiving.
Devices such as computers, servers, or
routers will have MDI connections.
The MDIX (media-dependent interface,
crossover):
The devices that provide LAN
connectivity usually hubs or switches
Swap the transmit pairs internally. This
swapping allows the end devices to be
connected to the hub or switch using a
straightthrough cable.
Straight-Through Cable have the same
termination at each end T568A or T568B

Marking LAN Connections

Crossover Cables have a T568A termination at one end
and a T568B termination at the other end

15

Marking LAN Connections

Identify the correct UTP cable type and likely category to
connect different intermediate and end device in a LAN

Many devices allow the

UTP Ethernet port to be
set to MDI or MDIX.
This can be done in one
of three ways:
Ports may have a
mechanism that
electrically swaps
the transmit and
receive pairs
As part of the
configuration
Many newer devices
have an automatic
crossover feature

Marking WAN Connections

Data Communications Equipment (DCE) - A device that supplies the

clocking services to another device. Typically, this device is at the WAN
access provider end of the link.
Data Circuit-Terminal Equipment (DTE) - A device that receives clocking
services from another device and adjusts accordingly. Typically, this device is
at the WAN customer or user end of the link.

How Many Hosts in the Network ?

Determining the Number of Hosts in the Network
Include these devices in the count:

23

Designing the Address

Standard for our Internetwork
General users = .64 - .127
Special users = .8 - .15 (Network Administrator)
Network resources = .224 - .239
Router LAN interfaces = .250 - .254
Management access = .192 - .207
Router WAN links = .1 - .2

Calculating the Subnets

25

Introduction to Subnetting
Subnetting a network means
to use the subnet mask to divide
the network and break a large
network up into smaller, more
efficient and manageable segments,
or subnets.
Subnet addresses include the network portion, plus a subnet
field and a host field.
To create a subnet address, a network administrator borrows
bits from the host field and designates them as the subnet field

26

Classes of Network IP addresses

27

Subdividing an /24 network address

Number of subnets = 2n = 23 =8
with n is number of bits that are borrowed.
Number of hosts per subnet = 2m 2 = 28-3 - 2 = 30
with m is number of remaining bits.

28

Writing down the subnets

Determine the network address of subnets from 3
borrowed bits from the host portion (the last byte):
1st subnet: .00000000 192.168.10.0
2nd subnet: .00100000 192.168.10.32
3rd subnet: .01000000 192.168.10.64
4th subnet: .01100000 192.168.10.96
5th subnet: .10000000 192.168.10.128
6th subnet: .10100000 192.168.10.160
7th subnet: .11000000 192.168.10.192
8th subnet: .11100000 192.168.10.224
29

Writing down the subnets

Determine the broadcast address of subnets:
1st subnet: .00011111 192.168.10.31
2nd subnet: .00111111 192.168.10.63
3rd subnet: .01011111 192.168.10.95
4th subnet: .01111111 192.168.10.127
5th subnet: .10011111 192.168.10.159
6th subnet: .10111111 192.168.10.191
7th subnet: .11011111 192.168.10.223
8th subnet: .11111111 192.168.10.255
