FEATURE 1

 

Highly Active All Over the Place!

Ethernet Today

 

Ethernet has grown so much that it has become a byword for LAN. Having taken over LAN, Ethernet these days is flourishing well beyond LAN, wherever networks are in use all over the world. In other words, if you understand Ethernet, it means that you practically understand most of what there is to know about networks now. Let’s get a grasp of networks now by looking at the typical places and ways in which Ethernet is used.

 

Part 1 - LAN at home:

This is most familiar Ethernet and where all of the basic technology can be found

 

Part 2 - FTTH:

Frames can also been sent through optical fiber, with the addition of special header information

 

Part 3 - Corporate LAN:

Improving ease of design and reliability using various types of extended technologies

 

Part 4 - Wide-area Ethernet:

Distant locations can be connected via Ethernet using corporate LAN frame relays

 

Part 5 - Providers and IX:

Handling large volumes of traffic through optical fiber high-speed Ethernet

 

Bonus article - The IEEE802 committee that determines Ethernet specifications

 

Beginners’ Question

What procedures are required to run a new line to an existing utility pole?

 

FEATURE 2

 

Clarified by Responses from 1,208 People

The First Move to Resolve Trouble

 

Nikkei Network has conducted its annual survey on network troubles. This year, we asked about the first move to identify the causes of trouble and solve them. Having analyzed the responses received from 1,208 people, we got a clear idea of effective first moves. We have also selected from the survey 9 examples of trouble solving and will introduce their “first moves.”

 

Part 1 - The survey:

Looking for the effective first move to be adopted when trouble arises

 

Part 2 - Examples:

Those who have dealt with trouble tell us “This was my first move”

 

Data:

How long did it take? What tools did you use? Trouble countermeasures shown as data

 

Bonus article:

Outline of survey

 

FEATURE 3

 

Learning Network Infrastructure in Charts

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

 

SNMP is a mechanism for gathering and monitoring information from a variety of devices on an IP network.
