ISDN:
The
ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI, also known as 23B+D1)
service delivers 23 B channels and one 64KBPS D channel
for a total bit rate of up to 1.544 MBPS.
ISDN
BRI will have 2B + 1D channels, the total bandwidth is
64X2 +16 = 144 KBPS
22.
The most important design rule for 100MBPS Ethernet is
that the round trip collision delay must not exceed 512
bit times, which is same as that of 10BaseT. However, a
bit time in 100BaseT is 10 times smaller. Therefore, a
bit time on a 100 MBPS Ethernet is 0.01 microseconds,
compared to 0.1 microseconds on a 10 MBPS Ethernet.
Therefore, the maximum round trip delay for a 100 MBPS
Ethernet is 5.12 microseconds whereas that of 10BaseT is
51.2 microseconds.

Cisco switches support the following trunking protocols:
1.
ISL (Inter Switch Link) and
2.
802.1q
24.
Class I repeaters have a latency of 0.7 microseconds and
only one repeater hop is allowed.
Class
II repeaters have a latency of 0.46 microseconds and one
or two repeater hops are allowed.
25.
Cisco Routers:
-
1600 series access routers: These are inexpensive, easy to
use, multiprotocol routers.
Cisco 1600, and 2600 series routers have optional
expansion modules.
-
The 4000 series routers have the following features:
1.
High-density LAN connectivity
2.
Medium-density WAN and dial up connectivity: Up to 16 ISDN
BRI / 32 sync/ async serial ports or combination
3.
FDDI / IBM internetworking connectivity
26.
CiscoView can be integrated with several other network
management platforms like HP OpenView, IBM NetView,
CiscoWorks etc. to provide a better system to manage
Cisco devices.
27.
Route summarization reduces the route distribution and
route-processing overhead in a network.
28.
The HSSI interface on a Cisco router can support speeds
up to 52 MBPS.
29.
Catalyst switches:
1.
Catalyst 1800 is a Token Ring switch that has 16 dedicated
or shared ports in the base unit plus two feature -card
slots.
2.
Catalyst 2900 Fast Ethernet switch is a 14 port, fixed
configuration, fast Ethernet switch. Catalyst 1900
Ethernet switch features 25 switched Ethernet ports
providing attachment to individual workstations and
10BaseT hubs. It also has two 100BaseT ports for
high-speed connectivity to servers and backbones.
3.
The catalyst 2820 Ethernet switch has 25 switched Ethernet
ports and two high-speed expansion slots.
30.
Bandwidths (typical):
1.

D channels
3.
T1: 1.544 MBPS
4.
E1: 2.048 MBPS
5.
DS3: 44.736 MBPS
