Study Notes
Network Components
- Three categories of network components: end devices, interconnecting devices, and internetworking devices.
- End devices include computers, printers, and tablets.
Network Sizes
- Medium-sized networks typically provide services for 200 to 1,000 devices.
End Devices
- Examples of end devices include workstations, smartphones, and smart thermostats.
Interconnecting Devices
- Switches are responsible for connecting end devices together within a local network.
Internetworking Devices
- Routers enable communication between different networks and manage traffic between them.
Classification of Devices
- A switch is not considered an end device.
Network Infrastructures
- Two most common types of network infrastructures: Ethernet for wired networks and Wi-Fi for wireless networks.
Storage Area Network (SAN)
- Provides access to consolidated block-level data storage for servers.
Wireless LAN (WLAN)
- Main feature is to enable devices to connect to a network wirelessly, offering mobility and convenience.
Geographic Area Networks
- Local Area Network (LAN) interconnects users with computer resources within a limited geographic area.
Data Storage Networks
- SAN is a computer network providing access to consolidated, block-level data storage.
Wireless LAN Access Point
- Serves as a hub for wireless devices to connect to a wired network, facilitating communication and data exchange.
