FUNDAMENTALS OF NETWORKING
A computer network is a group of two or more interconnected computer
systems. You can establish a network connection using either cable or wireless
media.
https://www.guru99.com/images/1/090719_0446_BasicsofCom1.png
Here are essential computer network components:
Servers
• Servers are computers that hold shared programs, files, and the
network operating system. Servers allow access to network resources
to all the users of the network.
Clients
• Clients are computer devices which access and uses the network as
well as shares network resources. They are also users of the network,
as they can send and receive requests from the server.
Transmission Media
• Transmission media is a carrier used to interconnect computers in a
network, such as coaxial cable, twisted-pair wire, and optical fiber
cable. It is also known as links, channels, or lines.
Shared Data
• Shared data are data which is shared between the clients such as data
files, printer access programs, and email.
Network Interface Card
• Network Interface card sends, receives data, and controls data flow
between the computer and the network.
Local Operating System
• A local OS which helps personal computers to access files, print to a
local printer and uses one or more disk and CD drives which are
located on the computer.
Network Operating System
• The network operating system is a program which runs on computers
and servers. It allows the computers to communicate via network.
Protocol
• A protocol is the set of defined rules that allows two entities to
communicate across the network. Some standard protocols used for
this purpose are IP, TCP, UDP, FTP, etc.
OSI
• OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnection. It is a reference model
which allows you to specify standards for communications.

WIDE AREA NETWORK
A wide area network (WAN) is a computer network that covers a broad area
(i.e., any network whose communications links cross metropolitan, regional, or
national boundaries).
The largest WAN in existence is the Internet.

THE INTERNET
It is a network of networks that consists of millions of interconnected devices,
that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking
technologies.
VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK
A VPN is a private network that is constructed within a public network
infrastructure such as the global Internet. A telecommuter can access the network
of the company headquarters through the Internet by building a secure tunnel
between the telecommuter’s PC and a VPN router in the headquarters. It is a
mechanism for providing secure, reliable transport over Internet. VPNs are frequently
used by remote workers or companies with remote offices to share private data and
network resources.

SERVER-BASED NETWORK
The term Client/server refers to the concept of sharing the work involved in
processing data between the client computer and the server computer.
The client/server network is the most efficient way to provide:
There are no dedicated servers or hierarchy among the computers. All of the
computers are equal and therefore known as peers. In peer-to-peer (P2P) networks,
each computer acts as both a server and a client. Examples of P2P software include
Skype and BitTorrent.

NETWORK MEDIA
Network media is the actual path over which an electrical signal travels as it
moves from one component to another.

COAXIAL CABLE
It is a cable used in the
transmission of video,
communications, and audio.
However, these cables are also used in
networks and what allow a broadband
cable Internet connection using a
cable modem.

WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
Wireless communication uses radio frequencies (RF) or infrared (IR) waves
to transmit data between devices on a LAN. For wireless LANs, a key component is
the wireless hub, or access point, used for signal distribution.
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7d/23/cc/7d23cc0153aaa21b337078ae7b1fc974.png
NETWORKING DEVICES AND TESTING DEVICES
Different networking devices have different roles to play in a computer
network. These network devices also work at different segments of a computer
network performing different works.
HUBS
SWITCH
Switches work the same way as hubs, but they can identify the intended
destination of the information that they receive, so they send that information to only
the computers that are supposed to receive it. Switches can send and receive
information at the same time, so they can send information faster than hubs can.
https://safebytes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/capture111.png
BRIDGE
A bridge is a computer networking device that builds the connection with the
other bridge networks which use the same protocol. It works at the Data Link layer
of the OSI Model and connects the different networks together and develops
communication between them. It connects two local-area networks; two physical
LANs into larger logical LAN or two segments of the same LAN that use the same
protocol.

ROUTER

MR6350.jpg
WIRELESS ACCESS POINT (AP OR WAP)
Access points (also called base stations) provide wireless access to a wired
Ethernet network. An access point plugs into a hub, switch, or wired router and
sends out wireless signals. This enables computers and devices to connect to a wired
network wirelessly.
