    The key takeaways are that there are different types of network connections including wired Ethernet using cables and wireless connections using routers. Cables can be either straight or crossed depending on what devices they are connecting. Color coding schemes exist to properly connect the wires in the cables.

    The two main types of LAN cables are straight cables and crossed cables. Straight cables are used to connect a PC to a hub or switch, while crossed cables are used to connect a PC to another PC or a hub to another hub.

    For straight cables, the color coding is the same on both ends of the cable. For crossed cables, the color coding is different on each end. The document provides diagrams of the color coding schemes.

    Lecture 3

    LAN Setup
    10BaseT Ethernet
    802.11g Wireless

    10BASET ETHERNET SETUP


    To connect a 10BaseT Ethernet network:
    Install a network interface card (NIC) into each computer (host)
    Connect each NIC to a hub or switch, using unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
    cabling

    Hub:
    Every frame received by a hub is reproduced on all of its ports

    Switch (or Cable/DSL Router):


    Every frame received by a switch is examined, and the correct port is
    determined for the frame
    A Cable/DSL also provides network address translation (NAT)

    LAN NETWORK CABLE CONNECTION


    Generally LAN cables are called Unshielded Twisted Pair. There are
    two cable systems.
    Straight cable.
    Crossed cable.

    The straight and crossed cable systems are shown below:

    COLOUR CODING FOR STRAIGHT CABLE


    Straight colour systems are used to connect PC to Hub or Hub to PC.
    Insert the wire into the connector. Hold both connectors face same. See
    below.

    You have to follow a colour coding system to connect the wire into
    each port of the connector. There are eight ports in the connector.
    Colour coding is shown below for both ends of the cable:

    COLOUR CODING FOR CROSSED CABLE


    SYSTEM
    Crossed cable systems are used to connect PC to PC or Hub to Hub.
    You have to follow a colour coding system to connect the wire into
    each port of the connector.
    The system is shown below
    One End

    Other End

    By using this method you can successfully connect your LAN connection.
    Connect your PC and Laptop by using straight cable system.

    After all the connection was set, it is required to configure LAN and
    Internet connection. How to configure LAN and internet connection will
    be discussed in in next section.

    802.11G WIRELESS SETUP


    To setup a 802.11g wireless network:
    Install an 802.11g (or 802.11b) NIC into each host
    Plug a wireless router or base station into your Internet connection (e.g. cable modem)
    Configure the SSID and security protocols on the wireless router and each of the NICs
    e.g. WPA encryption, and specify the key

    AD HOC WIRELESS NETWORKS


    If you have only a few hosts (2-3), you can create an ad hoc network
    This type of network does not have a base station (or wireless router)
    The hosts communicate directly with one another

    10

    WIRELESS NETWORKS COMMENT


    A wireless network connection is often not useful for a desktop PC
    For this reason, wireless routers typically contain a few Ethernet ports
    It is typical to have desktop PCs wired, and notebooks and PDAs will have wireless
    e.g. Notebooks with 802.11g and PDAs with 802.11b

    11

    PACKET SNIFFERS
    Packet sniffers are a useful tool for exploration of
    networking
    They can also be used by network programmers to
    diagnose packet format errors

    They typically examine many protocols


    This includes the header information
    e.g. Wireless, Ethernet, TCP/IP, HTTP

    Some common packet sniffers are:

    Ethereal (Linux/Mac/Windows, multi-protocol)


    TCPDump (Linux/Windows, TCP/IP)
    Kismet (Linux, wireless)
    12

    ETHEREAL TUTORIAL
    Here is how to sniff packets using Ethereal:
    Start Ethereal
    Select the correct network interface
    Start capturing packets, stop when done
    Select a packet from the list
    Examine the packet hierarchy and header information,
    such as:
    Ethernet or wireless frame headers
    IP datagram headers
    TCP datagram headers
    SMTP message
