Networking & Network Devices
Learning Objectives
• Share hardware –
– Printer, scanner, data storage devices
• Share software –
– Software installed on a server to reduce cost
• Share files –
– Images, spreadsheets, documents
• Communicate –
– E-mail, network phones, live chat, instant messaging
• Wired connections:
– Require NIC, copper cables, switch, router.
– Home routers also contain switch ports
• Wireless connections:
– Require wireless NIC, WAP, switch, router.
– Most routers contain a few switch ports
• Fiber connections:
– Require fiber NIC, fiber optic cables, switch, router.
– Most routers and switches do NOT contain fiber ports
and they can be costly to purchase

All About Speed
• IP version 4 (IPv4):
• Consists of IP address and subnet mask:
IP address: 192.168.10.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Means that this host is in the 192.168.10.x network
• IPv4 addresses all used up
• ISPs and governments now migrating to the
newer version of IP - IPv6
• Private networks will likely stick with IPv4 long
into the future

– Valid characters are 0-9 and A-F (to represent numbers from
10 to 15)
– Referred to as Base 16 numbering system
• Consists of IP address and prefix number:
IP address: fe80:0cd0:2414:dc09:e6f5:23b1:528f:7fe2

IP Address Types
• Workgroup based:
• By default, uses
network name of
“WORKGROUP” on
all LAN devices
• Referred to as a
peer-to-peer
network since no
server exists to
manage the LAN
