Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices
  • Module 1
  • The OSI Model
2
Overview
  • The “Big Picture”
  • Why?!
  • Encapsulation
  • OSI vs. TCP/IP
  • How to Remember It
  • The 7 Layers
  • How Cisco Refers to the Layers
  • Where Physical Devices Reside
  • Physical Cabling
3
The “Big Picture”
4
Why?!

  • Allows developers to focus on a particular function


  • Single point of reference


  • One layer does not affect the other


  • Platform independent
5
OSI Reference Model
6
Encapsulation
7
OSI vs. TCP/IP
8
How to Remember It

  • Phew!!  Dead Ninja Turtles Smell Pretty Awful!!!


  • All People Seem To Need Data Processing


  • Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizzas Away
9
The 7 Layers
  • Physical
  • Data Link
  • Network
  • Transport
  • Session
  • Presentation
  • Application


10
Layer 1: Physical
  • 1s and 0s
  • Defines voltage, wire speed and cable pin outs
  • Moves bits between devices


  • Examples:
    • V.35, Ethernet, 802.11b

11
Layer 2: Data Link
  • Combination of bits into bytes and bytes into frames
  • MAC addresses
  • Error detection and recovery


  • Examples:
    • HDLC, Frame Relay, ATM
12
Layer 3: Network
  • Logical Addressing, which routers use for path determination


  • Examples:
    • IP, IPX, Appletalk
13
Layer 4: Transport
  • Reliable or unreliable delivery
  • Multiplexing


  • Examples:
    • TCP, UDP, SPX
14
Layer 5: Session
  • Establishing and maintaining end-to-end bi-directional flows between end points


  • Examples:
    • RPC, SQL, NetBIOS names
15
Layer 6: Presentation
  • How data is presented
  • Special Processing, such as encryption


  • Examples:
    • JPEG, ASCII, GIF, MP3
16
Layer 7: Application
  • Interface between network and application software


  • Examples:
    • Telnet, HTTP, FTP, WWW Browsers, SNMP
17
How Cisco Refers to the Layers
  • Transport: Segment
  • Network: Datagram
  • Data Link: Frame
  • Physical: Bit
18
Where Physical Devices Reside

  • (L3) Network: IP Addresses -> Routers


  • (L2) Data Link: MAC Addresses -> Switches


  • (L1) Physical: bits -> Hubs
19
Ethernet Cables
  • Straight Through Cable (Host to Switch)
  • Pin 1 goes to Pin 1
  •    Pin 2 goes to Pin 2


  • Cross Over Cable (Switch to Switch)
  • Pin 1 goes to Pin 3
  • Pin 2 goes to Pin 6
  • Pin 3 goes to Pin 1
  • Pin 6 goes to Pin 2
  • Rolled Cable (Host to Router)
  • Pin 1 goes to pin 8
    • Pin 2 goes to Pin 7
    • Pin 3 goes to Pin 6
