Bible reading plan

Read the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation in 1 year and 6 months plans.

“I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die” – Johnny Cash, Folsum Prison Blues

“I grabbed two girlies and a beer that’s cold” – Beastie Boys, Paul Revere

“You won’t read that book again because the ending’s just too hard to take” – Gordan Lightfoot, If You Could Read My Mind

“I woke up in a Soho Jail where a police man knew my name.  He said, ‘You can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away'” – The Who, Who Are You

“Cause Calvin Klein’s no friend of mine.  Don’t want nobody’s name on my behind.” – Run D.M.C., Rock Box

“I know what I am, and I’m glad I’m a man, and so is Lola.” – The Kinks, Lola

How does OSI Model and TCP/IP Relate

• OSI was a competing model with TCP/IP in the 70’s
• It failed because addresses were too complex.  Using HEX values and people never thought they would need that many.
• OSI MODEL is used to explain, but TCP/IP is actually in use.
• Actually very similar to new IPv6 Protocols 🙂
• TCP/IP = DOD (Department of Defense)
• TCP/IP is a SUIT of protocols working together

IP Addresses

Consists of 4 numbers (Each called an ‘octet’), ranging from 0-255: Ex. 172.30.5.82

Always combined with a subnet mask and typically a default gateway:

ip: 172.30.5.82
mask: 255.255.255.0
gw: 172.30.5.1

Subnet Mask – 255=Network, 0=Host
As long as network’s match, the hosts can communicate.
One reason to split into different networks is to keep each network from getting so busy it can no longer communicate.

Routers mark a dividing line between networks. No two interfaces of a router ever point to the same network.
Job 1: Routers stop broadcasts

ARP: Address Resolution Protocol. Every computer on the network will receive the call asking for the MAC address for a specific IP.

Computers do not “speak” to IP addresses, but is Layer 2, Data Link, MAC addresses.

For computers to talk, if they are not on the same network (Subnet mask does not match),
Example: 10.1.1.10 wants to send to 10.5.5.100
1. .10 knows the receiving computer is not on it’s network because the network does not match.
2. .10 will ARP for the MAC address of the DEFAULT GATEWAY (DG) which is defined at setup.
3. Armed with the MAC for DG, it builds a packet with
SIP=10.1.1.10
DIP=10.5.5.100
SMAC = MAC for 10.1.1.10
DMAC = MAC for DF
4. Router looks at routing table, and sees the dest. IP Network is not connected, so will send to next router that it thinks “knows the way”, 10.2.2.2
SIP=10.1.1.10
DIP=10.5.5.100
SMAC = MAC for 10.2.2.1
DMAC = MAC for 10.2.2.2
5. Continue until you find router with correct Network, 10.5.5.xxx

Default Address Classes – MEMORIZE!!
Three Usable Classess of Addresses:

127.x.x.x reserved for “loopback”

Class A:
First octet of IP addresses is 1 – 126 (ex: 10.5.1.1, Network = 10, Host = 5.1.1)
Has Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0
16,777,214 Hosts!

Class B:
First Octet of IP Address is 128 – 191 (ex: 150.51.233.1, Network = 150.51, Host = 233.1)
Has Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0
65,536 Hosts

Class C:
First Octet of IP Address is 192 – 223 (ex: 220.1.50.63, Network = 220.1.50, Host = 63)
Has Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
254 Usable Hosts

Differences between Public and Private Addresses

Public Addresses

• Aquired from ISP
• Usable on the Internet (Public) Networks
• Useable on Internal (Private) Networks

Private Addresses

• Usable on the Internal (Private) Networks ONLY
• These addresses CANNOT communicate directly onto the Internet!! [Achieved via NAT – See Below]
• Three Ranges – MEMORIZE:

1. Class A: 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
2. Class B: 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
3. Class C: 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

• Loopback range used for testing: 127.x.x.x (Only available to itself)
• Auto-Configuration range: 169.254.x.x (If a host cannot get an IP via DHCP and can only communicate on its own local network.)

Basics of NAT (Network Address Translation)

• Purpose is to preserve Public IP Space.  Without NAT, we would have ran out of IPs long ago!
• Allows potentially thousands of Private IPs to share a Public IP Address.
• Router gets a PUBLIC IP from ISP.
• All devices in home/business use Private IPs
• As traffic going from the Network to the Internet, the Router “hides” the private IP and replaces it with the Public IP.

Notes:

Cisco recommends not to use more than 500 Hosts per network

I once knew a guy named Hector
He was quite the broom crusader
Used his broom to fight the sidewalk
He was just like Don Quixote
Fighting for a cleaner sidewalk
He had many great adventures
He saw leaves and bits of paper
So he swept them off the sidewalk
All his friends thought he was crazy
You should meet him at a party
Muh-muh muh-muh muh-muh muh-mowah

Hector met a girl named Liddy
And he met her at a party
They went walking in the garden
And they looked at all the flowers
Liddy said that she was married
Hector said he lived with Mother
So they went back to the party
And they had another brewski
Liddy said that he should call her
But he didn’t get her number
Muh-muh muh-muh muh-muh muh-mowah

Chi chi oom pah!
Chi chi oom pah!
Chi chi oom pah!
Muh-muh muh-muh muh-muh muh-mowah

She gives you a wink
So you buy her a drink
You’re caught up in her style
When she flashes you that smile
And she’s spending all your money
Acting like it’s funny
But you’ll see that it’s no joke
When she finds out that you’re broke

First she says she will but she won’t
You’re hoping that she does, but she don’t!
She’ll have you on your knees
and you’re begging her “Please?”
But she’s just a tease
She’s just a tease

She’s giving you the eye
When she flirts with other guys
Who fight for her attention
Just to give her affection
And they think they have a chance
When they’re asking her to dance
But she sends them all away
And she’s telling you to stay

First she says she will but she won’t
You’re hoping that she does, but she don’t!
She’ll have you on your knees
and you’re begging her “Please?”
But she’s just a tease
She’s just a tease

She’s just a tease
She’s just a tease

She’s hiking up her skirt
And unbuttoning your shirt
And you’re not sure what to say
When she’s touching you that way
Yeah she gets your motor running
And you think you’re getting something
But then she goes on home
And you end up all alone

First she says she will but she won’t
You’re hoping that she does, but she don’t!
She’ll have you on your knees
and you’re begging her “Please?”
But she’s just a tease
She’s just a tease

She’s just a tease
She’s just a tease
She’s just a tease
She’s just a tease
She’s just a tease
She’s just a tease
