NETWORKING: PACKET TRACER

INTRODUCTION TO PACKET TRACER The Packet tracer is a networking tool that helps you learn networking through hands on.  This tool  is able to help you master the networking skills on the desktop. You can use the packet tracer to: Sharpen your skills for a job interview Prepare for a certification exam Practice networking while learning Introduction to Packet Tracer Packet tracer is a tool that simulates real networks.  It provides three main menus: Add devices and connect them via cables and wireless Select, Delete, Inspect, Label and Group components within your network Manage your network Getting Started with Packet Tracer As the packet tracer simulates networks and network traffic,  the physical aspects of these networks also needs to be simulated. Finding a device to deploy requires looking into the Device-Type Selection Box Packet Tracer Deploying Services Packet Tracer Deploying Devices Packet Tracer File - email to me @ packet tracer resou...

PEER TO PEER NETWORK MODEL: HOW CAN IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR EVERYDAY TASK?

When using  peer-to-peer network model, the operating system of each computer on the network is responsible for controlling access to its resources without centralized control.  The computers are known as nodes or hosts on the network, form a logical group of computers and users that share resources.  Each computer using peer-to-peer network controls its own administration, resources and security.  Basically, it functions without any intermediary.   The types of operating system that can be installed on computers in a peer to peer network are Windows, Linux and macOS. You can also be more open to knowing how this Peer-to-peer settings can help you in your studies as well as in the future. Keep in mind that the connecting lines describes the logical arrangement or topology of the group of computers. THE ADVANTAGES OF USING PEER-TO-PEER NETWORKS: They are simple to configure. For these reason, this network type can be used where technical assistants ar...

HOW CAN SO MANY COMPUTERS CONNECT TOGETHER?

Computers are networked together and sharing of resources is a fame today. Many of you out there are speculating on, how can these so many computers in a home, office, society and even a nation can connect the computers together without any flaw.  There are billions of computer out there working all around the world.  How can this be?   THE RATIONAL OF TOPOLOGY A topology describes how the part of the whole work together.  When studying networking, it is important to understand both the physical topology and the logical topology of a network. PHYSICAL TOPOLOGY This refers to a network's hardware & how computers, other devices and cables fit together to form a physical network. LOGICAL TOPOLOGY This type of topology approach has a lot to do with software, how access to the network is controlled, including how users and programs initially gain access to the network and how specific resources such as applications and databases are shared on the network. THE T...

FUNDAMENTALS OF NETWORKING

JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN NETWORKING A short discussion can be on: Provide job opportunities that has taken your interest based on the video watched...  WHAT IS A NETWORK?  A network is  a group of computers & other devices that are connected by some type of transmission media. A network can be as small as two computers connected together by a cable or can even be made up of  billions of computers & other devices connected across the world through radio waves, satellites, infra red beams, cable, wireless and even phone lines. The other devices can be referred to cell phones, personal computers, mainframe computers, printers, scanners, security cameras, vehicles and wearable technology devices. TYPES OF NETWORK  Local Area Network (LAN) Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) Wide Area Network (WAN) Personal Area Network (PAN)
