The Fundamentals of Internet Connectivity To understand the role that computers play in a networking system, consider the Internet. The Internet can be thought of as a tree with computers as leaves. Computers are the sources and receivers of information by way of the Internet. Computers can function without the Internet, but the Internet cannot exist without computers. The Internet is growing rapidly, and users are becoming increasingly dependent on it for a myriad of services. Computers, along with being an integral part of a network, also play a vital role in the world of work. Businesses use their computers for a variety of purposes, but they also use them in some common ways. They use servers to store important data to manage customer and employee accounts. They use spreadsheet software to organize financial information, word processor software to maintain records and correspondence, and browsers to access internal and external websites. High-speed accesses to the Internet, such as cable modem and DSL services, are now available to the home and small office, which is increasing the demand for support ser- vices. No longer satisfied with a single computer connected to the Internet, the consumer needs the tools to be able to share the connection. 1102.book Page 5 Tuesday, May 20, 2003 2:53 PM 6 Chapter 1: Introduction to Networking The Internet is the largest data network in the world. The Internet consists of a multi- tude of interconnected networks, both large and small. At the edge of this giant network is the individual consumer computer. Connection to the Internet can be broken down into the following components: ■ The physical connection—A physical connection to a network is made by con- necting a specialized expansion card, such as a modem or a network interface card (NIC), to a PC with a cable. The physical connection is used to transfer signals between PCs in the local network and remote devices on the Internet. ■ The logical connection—The logical connection uses standards called protocols. A protocol is a formal description of a set of rules and conventions that govern how devices on a network communicate. Connections to the Internet may use multiple protocols. The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/ IP) suite is the primary protocol used on the Internet. TCP/IP is a suite of proto- cols that work together to send and receive data. You learn more about TCP/IP in Chapter 7, “TCP/IP Protocol Suite and IP Addressing.” ■ Applications—The application that interprets the data and displays the informa- tion in a comprehensible format is the last part of the connection. Applications work with protocols to send and receive data across the Internet. A web browser displays HTML as a web page. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used to download files and programs from the Internet. Web browsers also use proprietary plug-in applications to display special data types such as video, audio, and animation. This introductory view might make the Internet seem like an overly simple process. However, as this topic is explored in greater depth later in this book, it will become apparent that sending data across the Internet is a complicated task. PC Basics Because computers are important building blocks in a network, it is important to be able to recognize and name the major components of a PC. Think of the internal com- ponents of a PC as a network of devices, all attached to the system bus. In a sense, a PC is a small computer network. Many networking devices, such as routers and switches, are special-purpose comput- ers and have many of the same parts as normal PCs. For a computer to be a reliable means of obtaining information, it must be in good working order. You should be able to recognize, name, and state the purpose of the PC components (this information per- tains to laptops as well) described in the following sections. 1102.book Page 6 Tuesday, May 20, 2003 2:53 PM PC Basics 7 Electronic Components Electronic components are unique in that they are designed to conduct or transmit data or signals in electronic form. Most electronic components are found on the motherboard and expansion cards that plug into the motherboard. Here are some of the parts that commonly are found on electronic components: ■ Transistor—A device that amplifies a signal or opens and closes a circuit. Micro- processors can have millions of transistors. ■ Integrated circuit (IC)—A device made of semiconductor material. It contains many transistors and performs a specific task. ■ Resistor—A device that is made of material that opposes the flow of electric current. ■ Capacitor—An electronic component that stores energy in the form of an electro- static field. It consists of two conducting metal plates separated by an insulating material. ■ Connector—A port or interface that a cable plugs into. Examples include serial, parallel, USB, and disk drive interfaces. ■ Light emitting diode (LED)—A semiconductor device that emits light when a current passes through it. These are commonly used as indicator lights. PC Components PC components are typically thought of as packaged or add-on parts that provide additional functionality to a PC. This is in contrast to vital electronic components that are necessary in every PC. These include things such as media drives, memory, hard drives, processors, and the power supply. Here are some of the most common PC components: ■ Printed circuit board (PCB)—A thin plate on which chips (integrated circuits) and other electronic components are placed. Examples include the motherboard and various expansion adapters. ■ CD-ROM drive—An optical drive that can read information from a CD-ROM. This can also be a CD-RW (compact disc read-write) drive or a DVD (digital video disc) drive or a combination of all three in one drive. ■ Central processing unit (CPU)—The “brain” of the computer, where most of the calculations take place (see Figure 1-1). ■ Floppy disk drive—Can read and write to floppy disks (see Figure 1-2). ■ Hard disk drive—Reads and writes data on a hard disk. The primary storage device in the computer. 1102.book Page 7 Tuesday, May 20, 2003 2:53 PM 8 Chapter 1: Introduction to Networking Figure 1-1 Central Processing Unit Figure 1-2 Floppy Disk Drive ■ Microprocessor—A silicon chip that contains a CPU. A typical PC has a number of microprocessors, including the main CPU. ■ Motherboard—The computer’s main circuit board (see Figure 1-3). The mother- board is crucial because it is the computer’s nerve center. Everything else in the system plugs into it, is controlled by it, and depends on it to communicate with other devices in the system. ■ Bus—A collection of circuits through which data is transmitted from one part of a computer to another. The bus connects all the internal computer components to the CPU. The Industry-Standard Architecture (ISA) and the peripheral compo- nent interconnect (PCI) are two types of buses. ■ Random-access memory (RAM)—Also known as read-write memory, RAM can have new data written to it and can have stored data read from it. RAM is the main working area used by the CPU for most processing and operations. A draw- back of RAM is that it requires electrical power to maintain data storage. If the computer is turned off or loses power, all data stored in RAM is lost unless the data was previously saved to disk. Memory boards with RAM chips plug into the motherboard. 1102.book Page 8 Tuesday, May 20, 2003 2:53 PM . understand routing and switching, and make the connection between theory and practice. 11 02. book Page xxxiii Tuesday, May 20 , 20 03 2: 53 PM 11 02. book Page 2 Tuesday, May 20 , 20 03 2: 53 PM Part I CCNA.
