Survey on Blaise Pascal Lab

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Networking is such a broad and complex field, no single event represents its point of
origin. We can think of the 1960's as a curly period, however because that's when the
digital computer began to significantly affect the lives of ordinary individuals and the
operations of businesses and governments.

Networks in the 60’s were the beginning era of the computer networks. Networks in the
70's was early development of computer networks and the Ethernet technology and the
networks in the 80's was Computer networks for everyone and Standardization of
Ethernet.

1.1 What Is Network?

A Network is an interconnection of autonomous computers, as shown in Fig 1.1. Two

computers are said to be inter connected if they are capable of exchanging the
information. No computers on the network can start, stop or control another.

1.2 Network Goals

1. Resource Sharing: The aim is to make all the programs, data and peripherals available
to any one on the network irrespective of the physical location of the resources and the
user.

2. Reliability: A file can have copies on two or three different machines, so if one of
them is unavailable, the other copies could be used.

3. Cost Factor: Personal computers have better price/performance ratio than

microcomputers.

2.2 LITERATURE SURVEY

2.2.1 SERVER

A server is a computer that provides data to other computers. It may serve data to systems
on a local area network (LAN) or wild arcs network (WAN) over the internet. Many types
of server exists, including web server mail server and file server. Each type runs software
specific to the purpose of the server. Fig 2.4 shows the campus network of our college.

 The communication solution integrates smoothly with existing IT infrastructures.
 Physical separation of IT and communication server.
 Compact all in one package including Fumrsu hardware and VIRTUOSIS
intercom server software.
 Provides full range of VIRTUOSIS functions flexible licensing scheme for
VIRTUOSIS intercom server software.
 Optimize for rack installation.
 Copy protection without key subscriber or dongle based on 'PM 1.2.
 Extremely low operating cost thanks to high energy efficiency.

2.4 CISCO ROUTERS

Cisco routers switches and modems arc one of the most well-known devices of its kind.
The Cisco 2100 modem's 121-45 port is connected to WAN port of your router. The
Cisco 2100 modem's default IP is 10.2.0.1. No this will not be used in your router settings
but just as reference.

Fig. 2.5 Cisco router

Router IP Address

Usually the default IP of your router is one of these: 192.168.0.1,192.168.1.1 or

192.1682.1 or similar to that of the modem.

How To Access Router's Web Interface?

You can access router's configuration by typing-in your router's IP address bar of a web
browser. Login using appropriate user name and password.

Configuring Your Router

The only thing you need to configure is the LAN settings of your router. Change it to
10.2.1.1 so that it will not get conflict with the CISCO 2100cabel modem. Also change
the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

2.6 NETWORK DEVICES

1. MODEM : MODEM allows you to combine the power of your computer with the
global reach of the telephone system. A modem changes the digital data from your
computer into data, a format that can be carried by telephone lines.

Fig 2.6 Modem

2. HUB : HUB is a hardware device used to connect several computers together. A hub
thatcontains multiple independent but connected modules of network and inter
networkedequipment.

3. SWITCH : A switch is a device that is used to segment networks into different sub-
networks called subnets or LAN segments. A switch is responsible for filtering i.e.
transforming data in a specific way and for forwarding packets between the LAN
segments.

Fig 2.7 Hub and Switch

How A Switch Functions?

The switch establishes a temporary connections between the source and the destination
and the terminates the connection once the conversation is done.

4. ROUTER : A device that works like a bridge but can handle different protocols is
known as router. If the destination is unknown to a router it sends the traffic to another
router which knows the destination.

2.7 NETWORK TOPOLOGY

A network topology is the arrangement of a network, including its nodes and connecting
lines. There are two ways of defining network geometry: the physical topology and the
logical (or signal) topology.
The different types of Network Topology are: Bus topology, Star topology, Ring
Topology, Mesh Topology and Tree Topology.
In the bus network topology fig 2.9, every workstation is connected to a main
cable called the bus. Therefore, in effect, each workstation is directly connected to every
other workstation in the network.

Fig 2.9 Bus Topology

In the star network topology fig 2.10, there is a central computer or server to
which all the workstations are directly connected. Every workstation is indirectly
connected to every other through the central computer.

Fig 2.10 Star Topology

In the ring network topology fig 2.11, the workstations are connected in a closed
loop configuration. Adjacent pairs of workstations are directly connected. Other pairs of

 Survey on Blaise Pascal Lab

workstations are indirectly connected, the data passing through one or more intermediate
nodes.

Fig 2.11 Ring Topology

The mesh network topology fig 2.12, employs either of two schemes called full
mesh and partial mesh. In the full mesh topology, each workstation is connected directly
to each of the others. In the partial mesh topology, some workstations are connected to all
the others and some are connected only to those other nodes with which they exchange
the most data.

Fig 2.12 Mesh Topology

The tree network topology fig 2.13, uses two or more star networks connected
together. The central computers of the star networks are connected to a main bus. Thus, a
tree network is a bus network of star networks.

CONCLUSION

By this survey of Blaise pascal networking lab, we know the different types of network
topologies, their working and connections made from server to different computers in the
lab. It also describes the network broadband connections used in the lab. This survey has
also helped us to understand the different cables used in overall network connections.
