Lab 5: Ethernet LANS
Exercise 5.1.1
The IEEE standards cover more than just Ethernet. The 802.3 standard actually builds upon the 802.1 network architecture standard from IEEE. Briefly define the 802.1 standard and what it provides. Use your textbook and the Internet to research your answer. A: The 802.1 standards provide LAN/MAN management. The 802.1 standards where created by the close of the 1970’s.
Exercise 5.1.2
The 802.3 family of standards has the format 802.3x where x is a sequence of letters specifying the new standards added to the 802.3 base standard. One of the enhancements to Ethernet is Power over Ethernet (PoE), in which Ethernet cable can provide power to remote, low-power devices that are not near an electrical outlet.

Who is the manufacturer for your NIC? What information is given about the manufacturer? You can see an example record returned from this site in Figure 5-5.
Exercise 5.2.5
You can view your IP address for a NIC (or network adapter) by double-clicking one of the available connections in the Network Connections window (accessible from the Control Panel) and selecting the Support tab, just as you did when you were finding your MAC address. This information is also given in the Details window where you found the MAC address. What is the IP address of your NIC or network adapter? What is the IP address listed for your default gateway? A: NIC IP Address: 10.136.108.62 Default gateway IP: 10.136.110.1
Exercise 5.2.6
Use your textbook and the Internet to determine the communication steps in an ARP Request and Response. What steps are involved and how is each message sent (broadcast to all devices or unicast to a single device)?
1. Based on the interface and the forwarding IP address, ARP consults the appropriate ARP cache for an entry for the forwarding IP address. If an entry is found, ARP skips to step 6.
2. If the entry is not found, ARP builds an ARP Request frame containing the MAC address of the interface sending the ARP Request, the IP address of the interface sending the ARP Request, and the forwarding IP address. ARP then broadcasts the ARP Request using the appropriate interface.
A network interface card is already present in the computers. The purpose of the network card is to enable the computers to connect together using a protocol in order to transfer packets of data. In order to connect the computers, a form of connection is required that links the computers. In this case the form of connection used will be ethernet (Science - Opposing Views, 2014).
The most common type of network and the frames that come with it is Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), also known as:
There are 9 IEEE 802.11 services in total which can be classified into to categories:
Ethernet is typically the technology that is used to allow computers locally to communicate with one another. Computers that are close to each other they are connected by Ethernet.
Why are standards so important for NICs, connectors, and media? Use your textbook and Internet research to justify your answer.
The next step is to obtain the IP address from the domain name. This is performed by DNS. A DNS lookup, in a general sense, is the process by which a DNS record is returned from a DNS server. Interconnected computers, servers and smart phones need to know how to translate the email addresses and domain names people use into meaningful numerical addresses. A DNS lookup performs this function.
a flurry of ARP traffic to both hosts and immediately begin seeing the communication between them.
• Purpose of a LAN (hosts, devices (dual functions), examples of LAN use, types of resources shared, information that can be accessed using a LAN, purpose of LAN components) AND advantages and disadvantages of cable, fibre, wireless in terms of bandwidth, location, security, reliability, set up, suitability
In terms of global communication, the US and Europe are major continents for setting the standards for wireless systems. The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is responsible for setting standards for all telecommunication related medium and materials. The main role of TIA’s is to create a forum for participants as well as to exchange information and also work out for the detailed specifications. It is suppose to publish as a voluntary standard when a particular proposal gains solid industry support which becomes standard-setting environment favoring competing standards. It is sponsored by temporary industry alliances for the institutions where the U.S. standards-setting model may be best characterized as an institutional one
In diversity, the attraction of Ethernet is its simplicity. Just a few standards cover the entire technology. The technology is simple to grasp and deploy. This is the primary cause of the universality and wide choice of Ethernet.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) decided that there was a significant need for a set of rules or standards for data to travel from one computer to another. Essentially, it decided to standardize these methods for data packets transfers by implementing a set of rules and regulations called IEEE 802 standards. Consequently, these standards help the industry by providing advantages such as low product cost, interoperability, and easy to manage standards, divided into many parts. Interestingly, these standard parts include everything from cabling to network standards. Of note, these IEEE standards affect only Local Area Networks (LAN) and Metropolitan Area Networks
IEEE 802.11ah is a light version. Its applicable for low-energy. For Laptop, smart mobile, smart Television and other digital devices using IEEE 802.11.AH. The basic 802.11ah MAC layer features include: Synchronization Frame, Efficient Bidirectional Packet Exchange, Short Mac Frame, Null Data Packet, Increase Sleep Time.2.3.

IEEE 802.3 standard lies in Physical and Data Link Layer of the OSI model. The Physical Layer is responsible for transmitting electrical impulses across the physical channel without any knowledge of bits. Further, the Data Link Layer is divided into Logic
