IntroductionIt's here. It's live. It's the CCNA 2.0 exam. If you are preparing for the CCNA certification exam version 2.0, you have a more difficult task than those who took the CCNA 1.0 exam. Cisco published a long list of exam objectives for the CCNA 1.0 exam. That list of objectives seemed random -- even sloppy -- to many people, but nevertheless they were published, and it was pretty clear to those preparing for the exam which material to study. For the CCNA 2.0 exam, Cisco has taken a different approach. They have published a much-abbreviated list of exam objectives. Here is what the exam outline for CCNA 2.0 lists as WAN Protocols objectives:
WAN Protocols
ISDN
Frame Relay
HDLC
ATM
Source: Cisco ccna 507 specs
(Note: CertificationZone is not associated with Cisco.)
For me, this list leaves a little something to be desired. Where can you get more detail regarding these objectives and what you are expected to know for the exam? Let's refer to the official course material for exam preparation. The official Cisco course that corresponds to the CCNA exam is the Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) exam. The Cisco web site offers a course outline for the ICND course. In the area of WAN technologies, the course outline offers the following:
Extending the Network to WANs
Instructs the student on methods of connecting to wide area-networks.
Establishing Serial Point-to-Point Connections
Completing an ISDN BRI Call
Establishing a Frame Relay PVC Connection
Source: Cisco ccna 507 specs
(Note: CertificationZone is not associated with Cisco.)
Read it over carefully. Do you feel comfortable now that you know what information to study to be prepared for the WAN material on the CCNA exam? No? That's okay. You might notice that there are four objectives in the exam outline, but only three in the course material.
ATM is mentioned as an exam topic, but not covered in the course material. Why? Cisco does not include ATM in its Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) exam. ATM laboratory equipment is quite expensive and complex, so at the level of CCNA, it is more useful to focus on ISDN, Frame Relay, PPP, and HDLC. To put ATM in perspective, both ISDN and Frame Relay were developed as relatively small parts of the ATM specifications. To discuss ATM at even a rudimentary level would require a significant addition to the CCNA course and would warrant a separate tutorial. ATM is covered at the CCIE level and will be the topic of a forthcoming tutorial in the CCIE Study Area of CertificationZone.com.
That leaves us with ISDN, Frame Relay, and HDLC.
Though there are only three items on Cisco's exam outline that refer to WAN technologies, there is a lot of material that can be extrapolated from them. This paper will attempt to do just that, as well as fill you in on some of the theory that applies to basic WAN technologies. Let's start by trying to define a WAN.
There are certain characteristics that define, or at least typify, a Wide Area Network (WAN), and differentiate it from a Local Area Network (LAN). These characteristics include:
The geographic area occupied by the network
The scope of control and management of the network
The transmission methods and media used to build the network
The type of traffic that crosses the network.
A WAN is a network that spans a large geographic area. While the typical LAN would span the area of one building, or sometimes only one floor in a building, a WAN would span across multiple cities, multiple countries, or even multiple continents. A corporate LAN might connect, for example, the first, second, third, and fourth floors of the corporate headquarters. The corporate WAN would connect the headquarters office in Tucson with the remote offices in Boston, Detroit, Nashville, Houston, Denver, and Los Angeles.
In each of the remote offices is a LAN, and the WAN allows for each remote LAN to communicate with the corporate LAN. The WAN might also allow for communications between each of the remote office LANs directly, without each going through the corporate headquarters.
In corporate LAN environments, there is usually one person or group of people that is responsible for administration of the network. These people have complete control over the LAN, since all of the equipment that is part of the network is owned and operated by the company on company property. The corporation owns all of the systems, hubs, switches, and even wires that make up the LAN. Even if some of the hardware is leased, it is still totally controlled by employees of the company, and company management is free to make all decisions regarding how the LAN should be configured and operated.
In a WAN environment, this is not the case. Certain portions of the WAN are composed of company-owned equipment, while others are built from equipment owned and operated by the company that is offering the wide area communications service -- the carrier. A corporation implementing a WAN buys service from a carrier. The carrier provides service that meets certain expectations of the corporation based on an agreement between the two parties. Beyond the details of that agreement, the corporation's network management staff has no control over the carrier network. Often you will have no knowledge at all regarding the carrier network and how it is configured. The equipment that you operate and control on your company property is referred to as Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). Anything else is part of the carrier network. The point that separates your CPE from the carrier network is called the Line of Demarcation, or simply the "demarc."
When you consider communication between two devices on a LAN, you typically think of the end-to-end communications between those two devices without considering any intervening devices, such as hubs, switches, or routers. You consider the protocols involved in that end-to-end communication with respect to the OSI seven-layer model. WAN communications, however, are a bit different. The end-to-end communication between two devices separated by a WAN is divided into different areas of functionality. Within each area of functionality, certain parts of the communication are accomplished. Different devices are responsible for different areas of functionality.
WAN communications can be broken up into different planes of operation, all operating at the same layer, creating a 3-dimensional communications model. These planes are the User plane (U-plane), the Control plane (C-plane), and the Management plane (M-plane), and are included as part of the Broadband ISDN specification. These planes do not always map cleanly to the OSI model. Consider a simple form of WAN communications -- a telephone call. You want to talk to a friend in another city. You cannot simply pick up the phone and start talking -- you must first dial the other party's phone number. When you dial the phone, you communicate with a device at the entry point to the phone company's network. Information necessary to place the call and to keep you connected to the phone company network is transmitted at this point. This is communication on the C-plane, since this information is for call control.
Next, the equipment within the phone company's network determines the end-to end path to the destination -- your friend's telephone. If a path exists, the end-to-end connection must be established within the telephone company's network. This would be M-plane communications. Once the end-to-end path is determined and the connection established, your friend answers the call and you begin your voice conversation. This communication, between you and your friend, takes place on the U-plane. Your spoken words are the User data that is transmitted over the Wide Area Network. Data communications over a WAN can be thought of in a similar way. There is communication between CPE devices at the source side of the customer network and the carrier network. Then there is communication between devices within the carrier network. Finally, there is communication between the carrier network and the CPE at the destination side of the customer network. Consider the WAN shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1.
Suppose that a computer on the Token Ring LAN at Site A wishes to communicate with another computer on the Ethernet LAN at Site B. First, the computer communicates with the Site A router. The Site A router realizes that the destination computer is not on the local network and prepares to route the traffic over the WAN, crossing the carrier network.
The router is physically connected to the carrier network with a device such as a modem or a CSU/DSU. These devices sit at the border or demarc of the CPE. Everything on the other side of this device is part of the carrier network. The modem or CSU/DSU is the Data Circuit Terminating Equipment, or DCE. The router on the Site A network is the Data Terminal Equipment, or DTE.
The first part of WAN communications involves the communication between the DTE and the DCE. Communication of this type is on the C-plane. Next, a path to the destination through the carrier network must be determined and a connection must be established. This occurs on the M-plane. Finally, communication between the computers in each site takes place on the U-plane.
The transmission methods and media used for a Local Area Network differ significantly from those used in a Wide Area Network. In a LAN environment, the network usually uses Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI/CDDI topologies. The connections are made using Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (Cat 5 UTP), Type 1 Shielded Twisted Pair (Type 1 STP) wiring, or Fiber optic cable. Ethernet offers bandwidth of 10, 100, or even 1000 megabits per second (Mbps). Token Ring offers at 4 or 16 Mbps, and FDDI/CDDI provides 100 Mbps.
WAN transmission technologies usually (but not always) operate with much lower bandwidth than those used in LANs. WAN bandwidth is often measured in Kilobits per second (Kbps) rather than Mbps. Many WAN links operate at 56 Kbps, the same as most PC user's modems. Speed alone cannot distinguish between WAN and LAN, as the emerging 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) and the Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) OC-192 rate technologies run over exactly the same physical layer. When Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) is added between 10GE or SONET OC-192, hundreds of 10GE or OC-192 signals can run over a single fiber. However, even at higher bandwidths, the total bandwidth available in WANs is often divided among several links. This bandwidth is purchased from carrier networks at great expense. Due to the high cost of this bandwidth, it is common practice to purchase only the bandwidth that it absolutely necessary to provide the required connectivity. With this in mind, it is essential that WAN bandwidth is optimized, and that only traffic that must cross the WAN link should be allowed to do so. It is fair to say that if you encounter a slow speed, it will be in a WAN. We are encountering very low speed WAN applications today, such as pagers and wireless web devices.
Early WAN implementations were analog serial links between sites. Later, they developed into digital connections, but many of the techniques used to carry traffic over today's digital networks were simply adapted from the earlier serial technologies.
A first step in understanding WAN technologies is examining how data is carried over the WAN link. Let's start at the physical layer. There are all sorts of WAN devices, and you will hear names you are familiar with and names you are not. Some of the devices you are probably used to are modems, routers, and access servers. Other devices, which you may not have seen before, are Channel Service Units (CSUs), Digital Service Units (DSUs), Terminal Adapters, and WAN switches. WAN devices are most often connected using twisted pair wires or serial cables.
When discussing WAN technologies, you will hear two terms frequently: DTE and DCE. DTE stands for Data Terminal Equipment, and in terms of WAN communications, this could be an actual terminal, a phone device, or a router. DCE stands for Data Circuit-terminating Equipment. An example of a DCE device would be a WAN switch. WAN technologies often focus on the communication between DTE and DCE. While this model is also used in LAN technologies, there are differences when considering WANs. While the layer 1 and layer 2 connectivity between DTE and DCE on LANs is usually connectionless, it is usually connection-oriented in WANs.
Many WAN protocols function to establish, monitor, and maintain the connection between DTE and DCE. PPP, the Point-to-Point Protocol, establishes connectivity between two layer 2 endpoints. Under PPP are several subprotocols that do such things as authenticate users, assign addresses, etc. These subprotocols are control mechanisms for layer 2, and do not belong to layer 3. There can be more than one protocol per layer; think of the difference at layer 3, for example, between routing and routed protocols.
Examples of the User Plane and Control Plane in LANs include the following:
LAN Examples
| OSI model layer | User Plane | Control Plane |
| Network | IP | ARP, ICMP, IGMP, DHCP, routing protocols |
| Data Link | LLC | |
| MAC | 802.1Q VLAN 802.1D bridging BPDUs 802.5 monitor frames | |
| Physical | 802.3 medium independent signaling 802.3 physical layer signaling |
When you make a telephone call, you pick up the phone and wait for a dial tone. The dial tone indicates to you that you have a connection to the telephone company's network. You dial the phone number and wait for a connection to be established with the phone of the person you are calling. While you wait for your call to go through, you remain connected to the phone company's network, via telephone wires at layer 1, and certain protocols at layer 2. These protocols are control protocols, and function on the C-Plane.
