Search for NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE: Devices and Cables.

Network infrastructure is the foundation of any computer nework. It may consists of the
physical devices and cables that connect devices together.

Types of Network Infrastructure:

1. Wired Networks - In a wired network, devices are connected with cables. This type of
network is reliable, secure, and provides conssitent performance.
2. Wireless Networks - In a wireless network, devices communicatee to each other and the
network using signals like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, not cables. This setup is flexible, letting
devices connect without being tied to one spot but wireless networks can have issues
like signal interference, weaker signals over long distances, and security risks that wired
networks usually don't have.
3. Hybrid Networks - A hybrid network combines both wired and wireless networks. It gives
you the reliability and speed of wired connections and the flexibility of wireless ones.

• Devices
1. Router – It connects multiple networks together.
2. Swithc – It connects devices within a network.
3. Firewall – Protects the network from an unauthorized access.
4. Modem – It converts digital data from a networki into analog signals.

• Cables
1. Ethernet Cable – It is used to connect devices to switches, routers, and other network
equipments.
2. Fibert Optic Cable – It provides high-speed data transmission over longer distances.
3. Coaxial Cable – It is used for cable TV and cable internet connctions.

Define SWITCH IN NETWORK ADMINSITRATION.

A switch is a networking device that connects devices within a local area network. This helps
manage traffic and makes the network more efficient. Switches operate at the data link layer of
the OSI model and use MAC addresses to determine where to send data packets.

Identify OPERATIONS OF SWITCHES.

Switches handle data like a smart traffic controller. They learn which devices are connected to
each of their ports and send data only to the right devices, reducing congestion. This process is
called address learning. When a device sends data, the switch forwards it only to the port where
the destination device is connected, filtering out unnecessary traffic. This makes the network
faster and more secure. In this way switches keep data flowing smoothly to where it needs to go,
making networks more efficient and reliable.

Describe ROUTERS and Virtual Private Network IN NETWORK ADMINISTRATION

In network administration, routers act like postmen, delivering data packets between different
networks. They use routing tables to decide the best path for data to travel, ensuring it reaches
its destination efficiently. Routers also help connect devices within a network to the internet,
translating between private IP addresses used within the network and public IP addresses used
on the internet.

On the other hand, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) creates a secure and encrypted connection
over the internet, allowing users to access a private network from a remote location. VPNs use
encryption protocols to protect data from being intercepted by unauthorized users, ensuring
privacy and security. VPNs are commonly used by businesses to provide secure remote access
to their networks for employees working from home or traveling.
