Networking Fundamentals

An Overview of Key Concepts in


Networking
Introduction to Networking
• What is a Network?
• A network is a group of interconnected
devices that share resources and
communicate.
• Importance of Networking:
• - Enables communication and resource
sharing.
• - Provides data transfer and collaboration
capabilities.
Types of Networks
• Telecommunication Networks:
• - PSTN, ADSL, etc.
• Electronic Networks:
• - Devices like computers, routers, switches.
Network Devices
• Common Network Devices:
• - Router: Directs traffic between networks.
• - Switch: Connects devices within a network.
• - Firewall: Secures network by filtering traffic.
OSI Model
• Overview of the 7 Layers:
• - Layer 1: Physical
• - Layer 2: Data Link
• - Layer 3: Network
• - Layer 4: Transport
• - Layer 5: Session
• - Layer 6: Presentation
• - Layer 7: Application
TCP/IP Model
• Key Concepts in the TCP/IP Model:
• - Layer 1: Network Access
• - Layer 2: Internet
• - Layer 3: Transport
• - Layer 4: Application
Network Topologies
• Different types of Network Topologies:
• - Bus
• - Star
• - Ring
• - Mesh
• - Hybrid
Network Classification
• Classifications of Networks by Geography:
• - PAN (Personal Area Network)
• - LAN (Local Area Network)
• - CAN (Campus Area Network)
• - MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
• - WAN (Wide Area Network)
Network Mediums
• Types of Network Mediums:
• - Wired (Ethernet, Fiber Optic)
• - Wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)
Protocols and Ports
