Network Protocols
Network management is a major aspect of Model 5390 administration. This chapter describes the
Model 5390 implementation of local area network (LAN), TCP/IP, and LAT protocols. These
protocols are international standards; however, networks can choose to implement them differently.
Local Area Network Protocols
The Model 5390 server supports the Ethernet Rev. 2.0 and IEEE 802.3 protocols. These protocols
provide both the data link and physical layers for communication between the Model 5390 server
and the local host.
Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 Protocols
The Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 protocols specify the method for accessing the physical and network
levels of the transmission medium. At the physical level, access is provided via Carrier Sense
Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD). At the network level, Ethernet and IEEE
802.3 specifications handle IP encapsulation differently. Although the differences are minor, these
methods are not compatible; hosts using one encapsulation method cannot communicate with hosts
using the other. The Model 5390 server can be configured to use either method; it is compatible
with both Ethernet Rev. 2 and IEEE 802.3 transceivers.
The transmission medium is a common bus with high transmission data rates (10 MHz). It is often
a coaxial cable; however, other media, such as fiber optic cable, twisted pair, or thin-wire Ethernet
can be used. Because this medium is a common bus, Ethernet permits multiple hosts to share the
same transmission medium.
NOTE:
AppleTalk, starting on page A10-1, describes the AppleTalk
Remote Access Protocol (ARAP). Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX)
Protocol, starting on page A9-1, describes the IPX Protocol.
