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 • Common TCP/UDP Protocols and Ports: • - HTTP: Port 80 • - HTTPS: Port 443 • - FTP: Port 21 • - SSH: Port 22 Wired and Wireless Networks • Differences between Wired and Wireless Networks: • - Wired: Reliable, high-speed connections. • - Wireless: Flexible, easier to set up. Network Security • Common Security Measures: • - Firewalls: Monitor and control network traffic. • - VPN: Secure remote access to networks. • - Encryption: Protect data during transmission.
