Networking Short Notes

1. OSI Model:
o Layer 1 (Physical): Deals with the physical connection between devices,
including cables, switches, and transmission of raw data.
o Layer 2 (Data Link): Handles error detection and correction from the Physical
Layer. Includes MAC addresses.
o Layer 3 (Network): Manages logical addressing and routing (e.g., IP addresses).
o Layer 4 (Transport): Ensures error recovery and data flow control (TCP/UDP).
o Layer 5 (Session): Manages sessions between applications.
o Layer 6 (Presentation): Translates data formats (e.g., encryption).
o Layer 7 (Application): Provides services for applications (e.g., HTTP, FTP).
2. IP Addressing:
o IPv4: 32-bit address, e.g., 192.168.1.1.
o IPv6: 128-bit address, e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334.
o Subnetting: Divides an IP network into smaller sub-networks, improving
management and security.
3. TCP vs. UDP:
o TCP (Transmission Control Protocol): Connection-oriented, reliable, and
ensures data delivery.
o UDP (User Datagram Protocol): Connectionless, faster, but without guarantees
of delivery.
4. DNS (Domain Name System):
o Translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses.
o Essential for accessing websites and services on the internet.
5. NAT (Network Address Translation):
o Allows multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address.
o Enhances security and conserves IP addresses.
6. VPN (Virtual Private Network):
o Creates a secure connection over a public network, encrypting data and masking
the user's IP address.
o Used for secure remote access to a network.
7. MAC Address:
o A unique identifier assigned to a network interface card (NIC).
o Used in the Data Link Layer for communication within a local network.
8. Routers, Switches, Hubs:
o Router: Directs data between different networks.
o Switch: Connects devices within a network and filters data to its intended
destination.
o Hub: Broadcasts data to all devices in a network.
9. Firewall:
o A security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network
traffic based on predetermined security rules.
o Can be hardware-based or software-based.
10. VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network):
o Segments a network into different broadcast domains, enhancing security and
reducing congestion.

Application of Software Short Notes


1. Operating Systems:
o Functions: Manage hardware resources, provide a user interface, and act as a
platform for applications.
o Types: Windows, MacOS, Linux.
o Virtual Machines: Emulate a physical computer, allowing multiple operating
systems to run on the same hardware.
2. Software Installation & Management:
o Linux: Use apt-get install [package] or yum install [package].
o Windows: Install via executable files or Microsoft Store.
o MacOS: Drag and drop applications into the Applications folder.
3. System Update:
o Regular updates ensure the software has the latest features, security patches, and
bug fixes.
o Windows Update: Automatically installs updates or can be managed manually.
4. Version Control (Git):
o Purpose: Tracks changes in code, allows collaboration, and manages project
versions.
o Commands: git init, git add, git commit, git push.
5. APIs (Application Programming Interfaces):
o Purpose: Enable different software applications to communicate.
o Example: REST API allows web services to interact over HTTP.
6. Cloud Computing:
o Definition: Delivery of computing services over the internet (storage, processing,
etc.).
o Example: AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure.
7. Automation with Scripting:
o Linux: Use Bash scripts for automating tasks.
o Windows: Use PowerShell scripts.
8. System Restore:
o Purpose: Revert the system to a previous state, useful for recovering from system
malfunctions.
o Windows: Access via Control Panel > System and Security > System > System
Protection.
9. Security Software:
o Antivirus: Protects against malware.
o Firewall: Filters incoming and outgoing traffic.
o Encryption: Secures data by converting it into an unreadable format.
10. Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC):
o Phases: Planning, design, development, testing, deployment, maintenance.

Data Management Short Notes


1. SQL Basics:
o SELECT: Retrieve data from a database. Example: SELECT * FROM
table_name;.
o INSERT: Add new data. Example: INSERT INTO table_name (columns)
VALUES (values);.
o UPDATE: Modify existing data. Example: UPDATE table_name SET column1 =
value1 WHERE condition;.
o DELETE: Remove data. Example: DELETE FROM table_name WHERE
condition;.
2. Primary vs. Foreign Key:
o Primary Key: Unique identifier for records in a table.
o Foreign Key: Links records between tables, ensuring referential integrity.
3. Normalization:
o Process of organizing data to reduce redundancy.
o Normal Forms: 1NF, 2NF, 3NF, etc., each with specific rules for reducing
duplication.
4. JOIN Operations:
o INNER JOIN: Returns records with matching values in both tables.
o LEFT JOIN: Returns all records from the left table and matched records from the
right table.
o RIGHT JOIN: Returns all records from the right table and matched records from
the left table.
o FULL JOIN: Returns all records when there is a match in either table.
5. NoSQL Databases:
o Non-relational databases designed to handle unstructured data.
o Examples: MongoDB (document-based), Cassandra (column-based).
6. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load):
o Extract: Pull data from various sources.
o Transform: Convert data into a suitable format.
o Load: Store the transformed data in a database or data warehouse.
7. Indexing:
o Purpose: Speed up the retrieval of records by creating a data structure.
o Types: Primary, secondary, and composite indexes.
8. Data Integrity:
o Ensures data accuracy and consistency.
o Techniques: Constraints, transactions, and referential integrity.
9. Data Backup:
o Purpose: Protect data from loss due to system failures.
o MySQL Backup: Use mysqldump to export the database to a .sql file.
10. Data Encryption:
o Purpose: Protect sensitive information by converting it into an unreadable
format.
o Techniques: Symmetric (same key for encryption/decryption) and asymmetric
(public/private keys).
