(M7-TECHNICAL) Network and Internet - Capistrano

This document provides information about a laboratory exercise on network devices for an Introduction to Computing course. The exercise aims to help students identify various networking devices and describe their differences by having them research devices found in a school networking laboratory and define each device's purpose. The devices identified are computers, routers, modems, switches, and servers. The exercise addresses program and course learning outcomes related to applying IT knowledge and techniques, and identifying computing resources and selecting appropriate tools. At the end, students should be able to identify various networking devices and use them to describe differences between each device.

Professor:
I. PROGRAM OUTCOME/S (PO) ADDRESSED BY THE LABORATORY EXERCISE
• Apply knowledge through the use of current techniques and tools necessary for the IT profession [PO: I]
• Understand best practices and standards and their applications. [PO: M]

II. COURSE LEARNING OUTCOME/S (CLO) ADDRESSED BY THE LABORATORY EXERCISE


• To identify computing resources and technologies and understand their capabilities and limitations. [CLO:
2]
• To select and use appropriate techniques and modern computing tools for computing activities. [CLO: 3]

III. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME/S (ILO) OF THE LABORATORY EXERCISE

At the end of this exercise, students must be able to:


• Identify various networking devices
• Use to describe the differences of each devices.

IV. BACKGROUND INFORMATION


Networks are more than computers and wiring. There also have to be specific devices—specialized pieces of
hardware—that handle electrical/digital connections and perform their unique roles efficiently.

V. LABORATORY ACTIVITY
A. Research about different devices that can be found inside a school networking laboratory room.
• Computers
• Routers
• Modem
• Switch
• Server
B. Name the different devices and define the purpose of each.
• Computers – The main workstation of the student to do activities.
• Routers – Device that allows all the computers to have internet from the modem. We
connect the switches here to connect the servers and the computers alike.
• Modem – Connects the ISP to the surrounding LAN in order to have access to the internet.
• Switch – Used to forward the internet to the computers via the router it is connected to. It is
an important device for a school network laboratory as it is the way to connect multiple
devices such as the servers and the computers to the internet.
• Server – Allows the students to login from any computer within the network. It can also be
used for the storage and sharing of files within the server
