NETWORKING
CONCEPTS
By Aaliya Khan (VIII-A)
INTRODUCTION TO
NETWORKING:

•Definition: Networking refers to the practice of connecting computers and other devices
together
•to share resources.

•Importance: Enables communication, data exchange, and resource sharing.


TYPES OF NETWORK:

• Local Area Network (LAN): Covers a small geographic area, like a home or office.
• Wide Area Network (WAN): Spans large geographic areas, such as cities or
countries.
• Metropolitan Area Network (MAN): Covers a larger area than a LAN but smaller
than a WAN, like a city.
• Personal Area Network (PAN): For personal use, such as connecting a laptop
and a smartphone via Bluetooth.
• Virtual Private Network (VPN): Extends a private network across a public
network, enabling secure connections.
NETWORK TOPOLOGIES:
•Bus Topology: All devices share a single communication line.

•Star Topology: All devices are connected to a central hub.

•Ring Topology: Devices are connected in a circular manner.

•Mesh Topology: Every device is connected to every other device.

•Hybrid Topology: Combination of two or more topologies.


NETWORKING DEVICES:

• Router: Forwards data packets between computer networks.


• Switch: Connects devices within a LAN and uses MAC addresses to forward data.
• Hub: Basic device that connects multiple computers in a network (less intelligent
than a switch).
• Modem: Modulates and demodulates signals for communication over telephone
lines.
• Access Point: Allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi.
NETWORKING COMPONENTS:

• Network Interface Card (NIC): Hardware component that connects a computer


to a network.
• Cables and Connectors: Includes Ethernet cables (CAT5, CAT6) and connectors
(RJ45).
• Firewall: Security device that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing
network traffic.
• Servers: Provide resources and services to other computers in the network.
NETWORKING SECURITY:
• Threats: Viruses, malware, phishing, and hacking.
• Security Measures: Firewalls, antivirus software, encryption, and secure passwords.
• Best Practices: Regular updates, strong authentication methods, and network monitoring.
CONCLUSION:

Summary: Networking
connects devices to
share resources and
communicate, using Importance of Future Outlook:
devices like routers, Networking: Rapid advancements
switches, and modems, Critical for modern and increasing
with various types such communication and reliance on
as LAN, WAN, and VPN. resource sharing. networking
Key components include technology.
NICs, cables, and
firewalls, essential for
modern connectivity and
security.
