1.

Computer Network
2​ or more computers (or network
devices) connected form a network
​Enables us to share files, printers,
email, and many other resources
​Examples of devices include:
computers, laptops, phones, printers,
scanners, routers, servers, and so
much more.

2.

​Local Area Network (LAN)

​A group of connected computers
within a small geographic area
​Range in size and scale based on use
h​ ome network
​school network
s​ mall office network
​Wireless LANs (WLANs) extend a
LAN to provide wireless connection

3.

​Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

a​ network that operates within a
large city or multiple small cities
(AKA Metro area)
​much larger than a LAN because it
covers a larger geographic area
​typically operated by local
governments or private companies

4.

​Wide Area Network (WAN)

​ he largest network type
T
​Connects 2 or more LANs together
​Owned and maintained by the owner
of the LANs it connects
​The largest WAN in the world is The
Internet

5.

Intranet
b​ ehind a company firewall
(restricted access)
​content and files are only accessible
by company employees granted
permission
​Company: calendars, photos,
projects, news, groups, etc

6.

​Extranet
v​ ery similar to intranet, but can be
accessed from outside the physical
location of the organization.
​usually requires login/password

7.

​Virtual Private Network (VPN)

​ ecure network connection that
S
allows access to a private network
across a public network (such as The
Internet)
​Secure "tunnel"
​Users get a special username &
password to access company
resources remotely
​Enables employees to work from
home, grant contractor access, etc

8.

​Network Topologies
​ he way a network uses a PHYSICAL layout scheme tells us what type of NETWORK
T
TOPOLOGY it is using.

​ ach topology has a different and unique purpose for the sharing information across the
E
network.
​Bus
​Star
​Ring (aka Token Ring)
​Mesh

9.

​BUS Topology
​ onnects devices through ONE (1)
C
physical line
​Information can flow in only 1
direction
​Only 1 computer can send data at a
time
​Requires a "terminator" at the end of
the cable
​If the cable fails, the entire network
goes down

10.

​STAR Topology
​ ach computer/device connects to
E
one (1) network device
​Network device receives info and
transmits it accordingly
​High speeds because computers can
communicate simultaneously
​If one (1) cable fails, most of the
network keeps running
​Most common topology today

11.

​RING (aka Token Ring) Topology

​ onnects all computers through one
C
(1) single line
​Only one (1) computer can send data
at a time
​Computer must possess a "token" to
send data
​"Token" is passed clockwise
​If main cable fails, entire network
goes down

12.

​MESH Topology
​ ach computer has a DEDICATED
E
connection to EVERY OTHER
COMPUTER.
I​ f one cable fails, the entire network
is still running
​Most secure and reliable
​Most expensive topology due to the
amount of cable required

And now...​

14.

​Lesson Objectives
I​ dentify common network models
​Describe the functions of various network hardware
​Compare and contrast various methods of network connectivity
​ escribe the OSI reference model and each layer
D
​Explain how two network nodes communicate through the OSI model

15.

Client/Server Network Model

Most commonly used model
​Client = the user's computer
​Server = the user requests to use the
server
Server ​Examples:​file, print, ​e-mail,
domain controller
​Advantage: companies can control
security and file backups
​Disadvantage: Expensive and if the
server fails, it could stop all work

16.

Mainframe/Terminal Network Model

Has a main host that other computers interact
with
​However, mainframe computers run ALL
programs directly on the mainframe instead of
on individual computers
​The terminal computers are simply "access
points" to log into the mainframe
​ dvantage: security and software installed on
A
mainframe only
​Disadvantage: Very expensive and network
goes down if mainframe goes down

17.

Peer-to-Peer Network Model

Allows computers to connect to each
other
​Each computer is "both the server
and client"
​Advantage: cost effective and
flexible
​Disadvantage: security risks,
possible legal issues, and extremely
difficult to troubleshoot

18. Which network models provide pretty good overall security?

a) Client/Server b) Peer-to-Peer

c) Mainframe/Terminal

19. Which network model do you run ALL applications on a central computer?

a) Peer-to-Peer b) mainframe/terminal

c) client/server

20. Which network model can cause legal issues in operating/using it?

a) Peer-to-Peer b) mainframe/terminal

c) client/server

21. Which network model is the most commonly used by most companies?

a) client/server b) Peer-to-Peer

c) mainframe/terminal

​ etwork protocol - set of rules defining HOW the computers on the network
N
communicate

optic, and twisted-pair cable <cat5/cat6 etc>)
​
​ i-Fi (802.11) - Wireless standard for using a WLAN. Based on IEEE 802.11 which has
W
many versions (802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac)
​
​BLUETOOTH - connects device directly to another by pairing. Best for short range uses
(e.g. headphones, speakers, mouse, etc)
​
​ ELLULAR - Use cell towers to connect wirelessly (3G, 4G, 5G, etc)
C
​
