Networking refers to the inter-connection

of various devices to share their resource.
A network is a group of devices connected
with one another. Cable networks,
television, and telephone networks are

things together. When we create network
of
different
devices,
it
is
called
networking.

INTRODUCTION

COMPUTER NETWORK
A computer network is a collection of computers and
periperal devices connected by communication links.
In order to establish a computer network, we need at
least two or more than two computres and some
other devices. These devices are inter-connected
using communication medium such as wire.

CREATING A COMPUTER
NETWORK
A network can be of any size. For
example, a small network can be created
by connecting as few as two computers
for sharing files. A network can connect
millons of computers to exchange
information all over the world. The worlds
largest network is the Internet.

NETWORK BENEFITS
Many companies and individuals have
discovered that there are several
benefits of connecting computers
together. Network can improve the
work by increasing the productivity,
lowering costs and much more.

EASE OF ACCESS

The network stores most of the

information on a central computer.
Storing information on one or two central
computers makes it easy for people to
work with and manages their files.

The network has dedicated computers

that allow people to connect to the
companies network using a modem.

SHARE RESOURCES
Computers connected to a network can share
equipments and devices including printers
and hardrives. These equipments and devices
are called resources.

You can use a network to share

information with other people. Information
can be in any form of data, such as
documents created in a

NETWORK HARDWARE
Network hardware includes the physical
components that are used to create a network.
All networks require at least the following
network hardware:
Cmputers
Cables
Connectors
Network Interface Cards

TYPES OF NETWORKS
PERSONAL AREA NETWORK
A personal area network is the most
common
network
used
for
commonucition among various electronic
devices.

LOCAL AREA NETWORK

A local area network is the most common type of
network. A local area network connects computers
and devices located close to one another.

CAMPUS AREA
NETWORK
A campus area network is a
computer network made of an
interconnection of two or more local
area networks within a limited area.

METROPOLITIAN AREA NETWORK

A metropolitian area network is also a
collection of local area network.

A wide area network connects local and

metropolitian area networks together.

Permanent Network
Most companies use a permanent network to
transfer information.

In a star topology, all the nodes are

connected to a central system .

STAR TOPOLOGY

RING TOPOLOGY
A configuration that connects all nodes in a
closed loop on which messages travel in one
direction.

BUS TOPOLOGY
All nodes are connected to a single
communication line that carries messages in both
directions
