Network Access
Summary
In this chapter, you learned:
 The TCP/IP network access layer is the equivalent of the OSI
data link layer (Layer 2) and the physical layer (Layer 1).
 The data link layer is responsible for the exchange of frames
between nodes over a physical network media.
 Among the different implementations of the data link layer
protocols, there are different methods of controlling access to
the media.
 The actual media access control method used depends on
the topology and media sharing.
 LAN and WAN topologies can be physical or logical.

Network Access
Summary
 It is the logical topology that influences the type of network
framing and media access control used.
 WANs are commonly interconnected using the point-to-point,
hub and spoke, or mesh physical topologies.
 In shared media LANs, end devices can be interconnected
using the star, bus, ring, or extended star (hybrid) physical
topologies.
 All data link layer protocols encapsulate the Layer 3 PDU
within the data field of the frame.

Network Access
Summary
 The OSI physical layer provides the means to transport the
bits that make up a data link layer frame across the network
media.
 Hardware components such as network adapters (NICs),
interfaces and connectors, cable materials, and cable
designs are all specified in standards associated with the
physical layer.
 The physical layer standards address three functional areas:
physical components, frame encoding technique, and
signaling method.

Network Access
Summary
 Using the proper media is an important part of network
communications.
 Wired communication consists of copper media and fiber
cable.
 There are three main types of copper media used in
networking: unshielded-twisted pair (UTP), shielded-twisted
pair (STP), and coaxial cable. UTP cabling is the most
common copper networking media.
 Optical fiber cable has become very popular for
interconnecting infrastructure network devices.

Network Access
Summary
 Wireless media carry electromagnetic signals that represent
the binary digits of data communications using radio or
microwave frequencies.
 The number of wireless enabled devices continues to
increase.
 Wireless has become the medium of choice for home
networks and is quickly gaining in popularity in enterprise
networks.
