Subnetting 101
Object:
  • What is subnetting
  • Benefits of subnetting
  • IP address
  • Default Subnet Mask
  • Subnet formula

IP

  • 32 bits
  • has Host bits
  • has Network bits

*******EXAMPLE********

IP = 192.168.1.1

Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0

Class = C

n-bits (network) vs. h-bits (host)

  • nnnnnnnn.nnnnnnnn.nnnnnnnn.hhhhhhhh = 32 bits
  • nnnnnnnn = 1 octet

CLASS BEGIN RANGE END RANGE

A 0 126

B 128 191

E 240 255 (Science & Research)

LOOPBACK 127 =127.0.0.1

Subnet Formula

Network = 2 * n power (n = number of network bits)

Host = 2 * h power -2 (h = number of host bits)

  • peripheral port (direct-solder method)

BIOS and POST

  • BIOS: Basic Input/Output System (ROM BIOS Chip)
  • contain system software that boots the system and allows the OS to interact with certain hardware in the computer in lieu of requiring a device driver to do so.
  • POST: Power -On Self Test ( a series of system check performed by system BIOS and other components, such as the SCSI BIOS and the Video BIOS.

CMOS and CMOS Battery

  • date
  • time hard drive configuration
  • memory
  • integrated ports
  • boot sequences
  • power management

C# Class 02/01/10 LINQ

Todays class covered the following information.


LINQ - Chapter 9 page 405.

LINQ: Language Integrated Query

Used for: to query arrays and Lists, Databases, variable.

Concept:


  • pre-package data structures apart of .NET Framework

  • reusable

  • reliable

  • known as list


What do a list




  • element are dynamic, increase in size at execution to accommodate additional element


Syntax




  • built into C#

  • libarays are known as providers


LINQ




  • declarative programming

  • specifies not the steps necessary to get the result, but rather the conditions that selected element must satify

A+ Class 1/28/10 Processors



Our discussion today started with the CPU (Central Processing Unit), the two kinds that are out. They are socket and slot.




This is an example of a socket type Intel Category:Pentium III Microprocessor.






This is an example of a slot type 370.



We also got online and compared the prices of the different typ of memory (AMD and Intel). We also spoke about the IDE (integrated drive electronics) primary and secondary channel. The harddrive should always be the primary IDE on the motherboard and the jumper set to master.

As a lab assignment, we had to install (mounted) an optical drive. So set the jumper to slave(2).

NET+ Class 1/27/10 Week #3

Class started with a review of the OSI model.


What is a OSI model? It is a conceptual model of a network.


Who created it? Internation Standard Organization.


**** NOTE**** the ISO members could not come together to agree to make this a standard.


The purpose is to allow the various networks to communicate with each other.


Next, we discuss the various types of topology,connectors and cable.


Topology (5)


  1. bus

  2. ring

  3. star

  4. mesh(2)

  5. point-2-multipoint

Connectors (3)


  1. BNC

  2. T-connect

  3. F-type

Cable


  1. Coaxical

  2. Twisted Pair(3)

  3. Fiber Optics

Last we cover TIA/EIA wiring code.


Before the end of class. We had to make our own ethernet cable. We require wire stripping tools, two RJ-11 connectors , a crimping tool and the wiring diagram. To test the cable to see if it works. we had to plug one end into the commputer and the other into the network junction block. If done correctly, the bottom of the screen would show network connection.

C# Class 1/27/10 Foreach vs. Counter

Today's discussion was a about the foreach statement. In a nutshell, it is use to write/print/display multiple variables.

The counter statement has a different purpose. The purpose of the counter is to count.
ie. counter++

This is saying that you are adding one to the counter.

The instuctor talked to us about cloud computing. According to Wiki, is Internet - ("cloud") based development and use of computer technology ("computing"). In concept, it is a paradigm shift whereby details are abstracted from the users who no longer have need of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them.


Cloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption and delivery model for IT services based on the Internet, and it typically involves the provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources as a service over the Internet.

A+ Class 1/26/10 REVIEW

Todays we had a short class period dues to a guest speaker at the school. So I class time was mostly a review of THURSDAY (1/21/10) class.


*************VERY IMPORTANT ******************


Hard drive is SECONARY STORGE!!!! Do not confuse it as primary storage. Also, there are different types of memory modules.

NET+ Week #2 -- MAN


What is a MAN?


A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic area or region larger than that covered by even a large local area network (LAN) but smaller than the area covered by a wide area network (WAN).

A good example of a MAN would be when the Army Record Center on Goodfellow in St. Louis, MO. They was on both side of the street plus all over the backlot area. The WAN portion would be the Record center at both the Goodfellow Center and the page Center.

NET+ Week #2 -- HSSU WAN

This is an example of two different LAN's. One is at the Harris-Stowe State University School of Business, the other is Harris-Stowe State University Main Campus.

NET+ WEEK 2 OSI Model w/. Devices

This is a display of the OSI model with devices at the different layers. Also included on each layer an ideal of what is happening on each of the layers.
