Fundament For Building Networks

Networks connect hosts like computers, phones, and other devices to share resources. A host can be a device that sends or receives information, while peripherals connect to hosts. Computer networks allow sharing of storage, applications, and services between connected computers. Networks use cabling like copper or fiber optic, or wireless connections. Benefits include sharing devices and communication tools, as well as lower software license costs. Networks can be LANs, WANs, MANs, WLANs, or PANs of varying sizes. Network devices include switches, routers, and access points, and protocols define rules for transmission of data between devices on the network.

Fundament for building networks


Fundament for building networks
Host is any device that sends and receives information from the network.
The peripherals are devices that are connected to hosts.
Some devices can act as hosts or peripherals.
Fundament for building networks
Computer Networks
A computer data network is a collection of hosts connected by network devices, such as
computers, printers, scanners, smart phones, and file and print servers.
Resources shared through networks include different types of storage devices, applications and
services.
types of network means
Copper cabling - It uses electrical signals to transmit data between devices.
Optical fiber cabling - Use glass or plastic, cable also called fiber to carry information as
pulses of light.
Wireless Connection(WI-FI) - Use signals from radio, infra-red (laser) technology, or
transmissions by satellite
Advantages
Fewer peripherals - Printers, scanners and backup devices can be shared between users
on the network.
increased capacity of communication - Facilitate collaborative communication among
users tools; Examples: email, forums and voice and video chats and Instant Messaging.
Lower cost of licenses - The site license allows a group of persons or throughout an
organization for a one-time fee to use.
Types of Networks (I)
LAN (Local Area Network)
A LAN is a network that connects computers in a small area (such as a room, a building, or a set of buildings).

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network)


A WLAN is a local type network, where computers do not need to be connected to cables to connect.

MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)


A MAN network is one that, through a high-speed connection, offers coverage in an extensive geographic area (such
as a city or a municipality).

WAN (Wide Area Network)


It is a type of network of computers capable of covering distances from about 100 to 1000 km, giving the service to a
country or a continent.
The largest and well-known WAN network is the internet.
Types of Networks (II)
Types of Networks (III)
PAN
A personal area network (PAN) is a network that
connects devices, such as mouse, keyboards,
printers, smartphones and tablets in the range of an
individual person.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows


communication devices to connect over short
distances.

This technical specification is described by the IEEE


802.15 standard
ROUTING ON NETWORK COMPUTERS
ROUTING ON NETWORK COMPUTERS
An IP address consists of a series of 32 bits (ones and
zeros).
Example: 10111110.01100100.00000101.00110110
Also is represented by a dotted decimal format.
Example: the binary IP address shown above is 192.168.1.10
IPv4 Addressing
IPV4 SUBNETMASK

The subnet mask indicates the network portion


of an IPv4 address.

Generally, all hosts within a LAN use the same


subnet mask.
CLASSES OF NETWORK MASKS

255.0.0.0 - Class A.

255.255.0.0 - Class B

255.255.255.0 - Class C
NETWORK PROTOCOLS

Also known as communication protocol


Rules that allow the transmission of data between
computers and electronic network devices
An IP address is a numeric tag that logically and hierarchically
identifies an interface (communication / connection element) of a
device (a computer) in a network using the Internet Protocol (IP).

IP v4 32 binary digits 1 0
IP v6 64 digits

The Internet protocol family is a set of network protocols.


It is called the set of TCP / IP protocols, were the first to be defined, and the two most used
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) Transmission Control Protocol.
IP (Internet Protocol) Internet Protocol.

There are many protocols that reach more than one hundred.
among them are:

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), address resolution protocol, to find the physical address
(MAC)
FTP (File Transfer Protocol), for file transfer.
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol), to access web pages.
POP (Post Office Protocol) for email,
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), for e-mail,
TelNet (Telecommunication Network), to access remote computers.
Components of the physical
network
Network Devices:
Equipment
Switches
Routers
Access points
Switch
Provides communication
between devices on the same
network.
Router

Devices that connect entire networks to each other, use


IP addresses to forward packets to other networks.
Access Point

Provide network access to


wireless devices, such as a
laptop
