Fundamentals of Cisco Networking

Networking is at the heart of the digital transformation. The network is essential to many business
functions today, including business critical data and operations, cybersecurity, and so much more. A
wide variety of career paths rely on the network -- so it's important to understand what the network
can do, how it operates, and how to build and manage it.

The foundations of networking: switches, routers, and wireless access points

Switches, routers, and wireless access points are the essential networking basics. Through them,
devices connected to your network can communicate with one another and with other networks, like
the Internet. Switches, routers, and wireless access points perform very different functions in a
network.

Switches

Switches are the foundation of most business networks. A switch acts as a controller, connecting
computers, printers, and servers to a network in a building or a campus.

Routers

Routers connect multiple networks together. They also connect computers on those networks to the
Internet. Routers enable all networked computers to share a single Internet connection, which saves
money.

Routers connect your business to the world, protect information from security threats, and can even
decide which computers receive priority over others.

Access Points

An access point allows devices to connect to the wireless network without cables. A wireless network
makes it easy to bring new devices online and provides flexible support to mobile workers.
