Switch Boot Sequence

1. POST (Power-on Self Test)




2. Run Boot loader software




3. Boot loader performs low-LVL CPU initialization


4. Boot loader initializes the flash file system




5. Boot loader locates and loads a default IOS operating image software image into memory and passes control of the switch over to the IOS

Telnet

Method for remotely accessing the CLI over a network




Require active networking services and one active interface that is configured

Secure Shell (SSH)

Remote login similar to Telnet but utilizes more security




Stronger password authentication




Uses encryption when transporting data

Aux Port

Out-Of-Band connection




Uses telephone line




Can be used like console port

CSMA/CD

Device needs to transmit




It "listens" for signals on the medium




Carry on listening. If it receives while sending the first 64 bytes of the frame then collision




Stop sending frame, sending jam signal




Wait for random time (backoff)




Try again- listen for signals etc.

No collision

Fully switched network with full duplex operation = no collision




Higher bandwidth Ethernet does not define collisions




Cable length limited if CSMA/CD needed




Fibre optic- always fully switched, full duplex




(Shared medium must use half duplex in order to detect collisions.)

MDIX Auto

Command makes switch detect whether cable is straight through or crossover and compensate so you can use either




Depends on IOS version




Enabled by default from 12.2(18)SE on




Disabled from 12.1(14)EA1 to 12.2(18)SE




Not available in earlier versions

RS-232 Serial port

Once a standard feature of a personalcomputer, used for connections to modems, printers, mice, data storage,uninterruptible power supplies, and other peripheral devices. However, RS-232is hampered by low transmission speed, large voltage swing, and large standardconnectors.




Notice the two ports highlighted on theside of the laptop. The port on the left in yellow is the RS 232 Serialconnection and the port in red is a VGA connection.




Take note of the pin out of both ports,the serial connection is a 9-pin while the VGA is 15 pin as well as one is amale connection and the other female.

Network Latency

NIC delay- time taken to put signal on medium and to interpret it on receipt.



Propagation delay- time spent travelling on mediium




Latency from intermediate devices e.g. switch or router. Depends on number and type of devices. Routers add more latency than switches

Port Based Buffering

Each incoming port has its own queue




Frame stay in buffer until outgoing port is free




Frame destined for busy outgoing port can hold up all the others even if their outgoing ports for free




Each incoming port has a fixed and limited amount of memory

Shared Memory Buffering

All incoming frames go in a common buffer




Switch maps frame to destination port and forwards it when port is free




Frames do not hold each other up




Flexible use of memory allows larger frames




Important for asymmetric switching where some ports work faster than others
