    Chapter 1. Introduction To TCP/IP

    Uploaded by

    Vadinho
    This chapter introduces the key networking models covered in the CCENT and CCNA exams: the TCP/IP and OSI models. It explains that networking models define rules and standards to ensure all network components work together effectively, similar to an architectural blueprint for building a house. The chapter focuses on explaining the ubiquitous TCP/IP model, which underpins modern networks, and also compares it to the historical OSI model, which introduced many common networking terminology still used today. It concludes by directing readers to take a quiz to self-assess their existing knowledge on this topic.

    Chapter 1.

    Introduction to TCP/IP
    Networking
    This chapter covers the following exam topics:
    1.0 Network Fundamentals
    1.1 Compare and contrast OSI and TCP/IP models
    1.2 Compare and contrast TCP and UDP protocols
    Welcome to the first chapter in your study for CCENT and CCNA! This chapter
    begins Part I, which focuses on the basics of networking. Because networks
    require all the devices to follow the rules, this part starts with a discussion of
    networking models, which gives you a big picture view of the networking rules.
    You can think of a networking model as you think of a set of architectural plans
    for building a house. A lot of different people work on building your house, such
    as framers, electricians, bricklayers, painters, and so on. The blueprint helps
    ensure that all the different pieces of the house work together as a whole.
    Similarly, the people who make networking products, and the people who use
    those products to build their own computer networks, follow a particular
    networking model. That networking model defines rules about how each part of
    the network should work, as well as how the parts should work together, so that
    the entire network functions correctly. The CCNA exams include detailed
    coverage of one networking model: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
    Protocol (TCP/IP). TCP/IP is the most pervasively used networking model in the
    history of networking. You can find support for TCP/IP on practically every
    computer operating system (OS) in existence today, from mobile phones to
    mainframe computers. Every network built using Cisco products today supports
    TCP/IP. And not surprisingly, the CCNA Routing and Switching exams focus
    heavily on TCP/IP.
    The exams also compare TCP/IP to a second networking model, called the Open
    Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model. Historically, OSI was the first
    large effort to create a vendor-neutral networking model. Because of that timing,
    many of the terms used innetworking today come from the OSI model, so this
    chapters section on OSI discusses OSI and the related
    terminology.
    Do I Know This Already? Quiz
