1. Local Area Networks
Local Area Networks, generally called LANs,
are privately owned networks within a single
building or campus of up to a few kilometers
in size. They are widely used to connect
personal computers and other network
devices in company offices and factories to
share resources (e.g., printers) and exchange
information.

LAN Access Control Methods
Deterministic <xác định> access (TDMA)
Transmission rights allocated to terminals in
advance. The terminals can send data in the
allocated order.
Nondeterministic access (CSMA/CD)
Transmission rights are carried out at the point of
time when a transmission request is issued.
Conflicts may occur.
TDMA
Time Division Multiple Access
Data channel is divided into time slots.
Time slots are allocated to terminals.
Collision<va chạm> does not occur
Waste is large
CSMA/CD
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
Detection
Terminals monitor whether data is passing on the
cable
Transmission starts when no data is passed
If the collision is detected, all terminals will have to
wait a specified time before retransmission
Ethernet
Switch vs. Hub
Hub
Hub takes data from one of the connected
devices and forwards it to all the other ports <cổng>
on the hub.
Switch
Rather than forwarding data to all the connected
ports, a switch forwards data only to the port on
which the destination system is connected.

How to configure network in
PC
Information need to know
IP range (192.168.x.1-253)
Network mask (255.255.255.0)
Gateway (192.168.6.254)
DNS (192.168.100.2)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
How to test the network
Check the IP address:
ipconfig (Windows)/ifconfig (Linux, Mac)
Ping gateway
Ping www.google.com
Ping www.google.com /t
Ping DNS
NIC not found
Cable not connected
No IP address
Looks good
3 private IP addresse ranges:
used Only in LAN
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255/8 (16,777,216 IPs)
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255/12 (1,048,576
IPs)
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255/16 (65,536 IPs)
Public IP addresse: used in

Can you discover the network?
nmap
Tracer (Windows)/traceroute(Linux/Mac)
2. Wide Area Networks
A wide area network, or WAN, spans a large
geographical area, often a country or
continent. It contains a collection of hosts.
The hosts are connected by a subnet. The
hosts are owned by the customers (e.g.,
people's personal computers), whereas the
communication subnet is typically owned and
operated by a telephone company or Internet
service provider.
