CAPÍTULO 2: FUNDAMENTO TEÓRICO

2.3. Sensores utilizados en lenguas electrónicas

2.3.2. Tipos de sensores

Cisco folklore tells of the day in 1998 when Cisco’s revenues from LAN switching and hub products exceeded router revenues. That event in Cisco’s history was significant because most people in the marketplace thought of Cisco as “that router company” for a long time. In fact, Cisco would prefer to even shake the reputation as a great router/switch/hub company and instead be known for empowering the Internet generation, a catch-phrase from the company’s television ads.

So, if switches and hubs drive more revenue for Cisco, why is most of the popular Cisco certification about routers and routing issues? One issue is that LAN (Layer 2) issues are inherently less complicated than Layer 3 issues. However, that in no way means that LAN issues are not complicated; there are simply fewer concepts and issues to consider. Furthermore, because Layer 3-aware devices, such as routers, make extensive use of Layer 2 features to forward packets, the routing-centric topics can never totally ignore LAN and WAN Layer 2 concepts. So, this book includes one LAN-specific chapter and one WAN- specific chapter (Chapter 8, “WAN Protocols and Design”), in addition to the more lengthy coverage of routing.

This single chapter devoted totally to LANs reviews LAN basics, with a concentration on Ethernet. This chapter explains bridging and switching, along with some comparisons of bridging, switching, and routing. This chapter also covers Spanning Tree to a depth beyond what is probably needed for the exam, but understanding Spanning Tree is very important to the typical jobs performed by CCNAs. This chapter also covers virtual local-area networks (VLANs) and offers some switch configuration examples.

Cisco expects CCNAs to remember the names and functions of the LAN standards, not just the concepts behind them. So, while the concepts in this chapter might in part be review and in part be new information or a reminder of something you have forgotten, do not neglect to memorize the LAN standard’s names, at least. The concepts are very important to your success in your job; knowing the names of standards is very important to being able to communicate about your networks, which is one of Cisco’s expectations for CCNAs.

“Do I Know This Already?” Quiz

The purpose of the “Do I Know This Already?” quiz is to help you decide what parts of this chapter to use. If you already intend to read the entire chapter, you do not necessarily need to answer these questions now.

This 16-question quiz helps you determine how to spend your limited study time. The quiz is sectioned into four smaller four-question “quizlets,” which correspond to the three major headings in the chapter. Suggestions on how to spend your time in this chapter, based on your quiz scores, are outlined in Figure 4-1. Use Table 4-1 to record your score.

The answers to the quiz are found in Appendix A, “Answers to the ‘Do I Know This Already?’ Quizzes and Q&A Sections,” on page 715. The suggested choices for your next step are as follows:

8 or less overall score—Read the entire chapter. This includes the “Foundation Topics” and “Foundation Summary” sections and the Q&A section at the end of the chapter.

2 or less on any quizlet—Review the subsection(s) of the “Foundation Topics” part of this chapter, based on Table 4-1. Then move into the “Foundation Summary” section and the Q&A section at the end of the chapter.

9 to 12 overall score—Begin with the “Foundation Summary” section, and then go to the Q&A section and the scenarios at the end of the chapter.

13 or more overall score—If you want more review on these topics, skip to the “Foundation Summary” section, and then go to the Q&A section at the end of the chapter. Otherwise, move to the next chapter.
