Computer Networks and Hardware

In an address on an envelope, the zip code is analogous to an IP address.

Input Devices

Examples of input devices include keyboard, mouse, and scanner.

Network Types

A WAN (Wide Area Network) connects two or more locations, such as offices in Arizona and Texas.
A MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) is a network that spans a metropolitan area.
An internetwork is a network that connects multiple LANs.
A peer-to-peer network model is suitable for small businesses with limited budget and security concerns.

Network Communication

The network interface is responsible for sending and receiving data to and from the network media.

Network Advantages and Disadvantages

A peer-to-peer network has limited security compared to a server-based network.
A server-based network has additional costs compared to a peer-to-peer network.

CPU and Processing Power

A multicore CPU provides more than one processor, increasing processing power.

Networking Terms

A domain is a collection of users and computers in a Windows server-based network.
Network protocols define the rules and formats for sending information across the network.
A LAN (Local Area Network) connects devices in a small geographic area.
A WAN (Wide Area Network) is geographically dispersed.
A packet is a chunk of data with source and destination IP addresses in the header.
A header is information added to the front end of a chunk of data.

Data Storage and Transmission

A bit is a unit of data that stores a single value, either 0 or 1.
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique 12-digit hexadecimal value assigned to every NIC.

Network Administration

To separate network traffic, such as for an accounting department, an internetwork needs to be implemented.
