Computer Networks: Basics to Advanced

1. Introduction to Computer Networks


Q: What is a computer network?

A: A computer network is a group of interconnected computers that can share resources and

communicate with each other.

Q: What are the types of computer networks?

A: The main types are LAN (Local Area Network), MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), and WAN

(Wide Area Network).

2. Network Topologies
Q: What is network topology?

A: It is the arrangement of different elements (links, nodes, etc.) in a computer network.

Q: Name common types of topologies.

A: Bus, Star, Ring, Mesh, and Hybrid Topology.

3. OSI and TCP/IP Models


Q: What is the OSI model?

A: OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) is a 7-layer model that standardizes network communication

functions.

Q: Name the layers of the OSI model.

A: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application.

4. Transmission Media
Q: What are the types of transmission media?

A: Guided (Twisted Pair, Coaxial, Fiber Optic) and Unguided (Wireless).

Q: What is the difference between guided and unguided media?


A: Guided media use physical paths, while unguided media use wireless transmission.

5. IP Addressing and Subnetting


Q: What is an IP address?

A: An IP address is a unique identifier for a device on a network.

Q: What is subnetting?

A: Subnetting is the process of dividing a network into smaller subnetworks for efficient

management.

6. Network Devices
Q: Name common networking devices.

A: Router, Switch, Hub, Bridge, Modem, Repeater.

Q: What is the function of a router?

A: A router connects different networks and forwards data packets between them.

7. Network Protocols
Q: What is a network protocol?

A: A set of rules governing communication between network devices.

Q: Give examples of network protocols.

A: HTTP, FTP, TCP, IP, UDP, SMTP, DHCP.

8. Wireless Networking
Q: What is wireless networking?

A: A method of connecting devices without physical cables using radio waves.

Q: What are common wireless standards?

A: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax (Wi-Fi standards).


9. Network Security
Q: What is network security?

A: Practices and technologies to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of network

resources.

Q: Name some network security threats.

A: Malware, Phishing, Denial of Service (DoS), Man-in-the-Middle attacks.

10. Network Troubleshooting


Q: What is network troubleshooting?

A: The process of identifying, diagnosing, and resolving network problems.

Q: Name common tools for troubleshooting.

A: Ping, Traceroute, Ipconfig/ifconfig, Netstat, Wireshark.
