Introduction to Computer

Networks
• An overview of computer networks and their
importance.
What is a Computer Network?
• A computer network is a group of
interconnected computers that can share
resources and communicate with each other.
Types of Networks
• LAN: Local Area Network
• MAN: Metropolitan Area Network
• WAN: Wide Area Network
Network Topologies
• Bus, Star, Ring, Mesh, and Hybrid topologies
define the layout of network connections.
Network Devices
• Router: Directs data packets
• Switch: Connects devices within a LAN
• Hub: Broadcasts data to all ports
• Modem: Connects to the Internet
Wired vs Wireless Networks
• Wired: Faster, more secure
• Wireless: Flexible, easier to set up
The OSI Model
• 7 Layers: Physical, Data Link, Network,
Transport, Session, Presentation, Application
IP Addressing and DNS
• IP: Unique address for devices
• DNS: Translates domain names to IP addresses
Network Security Basics
• Firewalls, Antivirus, Encryption, Secure
Protocols (HTTPS, SSH)
Applications of Networks
• Internet, Emails, Online Banking, Cloud
Computing, IoT
Conclusion
• Computer networks are essential for
