Study Notes
Network Fundamentals
- The Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model is responsible for transmitting data between devices on a network, ensuring error-free transfer of data frames.
- An IP address is a unique logical address assigned to a device on a network, allowing it to communicate with other devices and enabling routing of packets between networks.
- A router is a network device that connects multiple networks, routing packets between them based on their destination IP address, and ensuring efficient data transfer between different networks.
