Definitions

1. Larger networks are created and subdivided into smaller ones, as we saw in the previous topic.
2. On larger networks, the trip from one switch point to another in the network is called a hop.

Problems

1. On larger networks where AARP could cause problems as new nodes searched for free addresses, the addition of a router could dramatically reduce "chattiness".

Thick

1. Combining Thicknet and Thinnet Cable It is common for larger networks to combine thick and thin Ethernet cable.

Network Traffic

1. RIP updates every 30 seconds, generating lots of network traffic in larger networks.

Network Number

1. This method soon proved inadequate as local area networks developed that were not part of the larger networks already designated by a network number.

Local Area Networks

1. Note: An NCP may be used in local area networks or larger networks.

Backbone

1. Larger networks often use a thin coax "backbone" that connects a row of 10BaseT hubs together.
2. Because of the expense of the architecture, most networks do not handle this all the way to the workstation but larger networks will use it as a backbone.

Addresses

1. Class A addresses are assigned to larger networks.

Subnetting

1. Subnetting is used in IP networks to break up larger networks into a smaller network.

Subnetwork

1. Subnetwork or Subnet Found in larger networks, these smaller networks are used to simplify addressing between numerous computers.

Static Routes

1. For this reason, larger networks generally use dynamic routing rather than static routes.

Ospf

1. While RIP suits networks with diameters less than 16, OSPF or Open Shortest Path First is intended for larger networks with thousands of nodes.
2. OSPF is specifically designed to operate with larger networks.

Ethernets

1. Several bridges can work together to create even larger networks of Ethernets using the IEEE802.1 spanning tree algorithm.

Network

1. B-node name resolution is not the best option on larger networks because its reliance on broadcasts can load the network with broadcasts.
2. Your network can be a small system that's physically connected by cables or you can connect separate networks together to form larger networks.

Larger Networks

1. On larger networks that use routers, this is a problem since routers do not forward broadcasts, nor is NetBEUI a routable protocol.
2. For larger networks the network administrator automates this manual operation with a routing protocol to distribute routes throughout a network.
3. Larger networks utilize switches to break the network into smaller, more manageable chunks, which are easier to secure.
