I know am not the moderator or anything to post things here,but just doing it.Firstly we all know what computers are all about,we all also know about softwares,hardwares....a lot stuff,knowing about computers doesn't mean just formatting or assembling or deassembling your comp's but knowing different fields in it.Like the programming side,wherein you deal with lot of languages...Eg:C(the base of language in order to learn C++,or further OOP concept),C++,Java....to C#,J#,G#...many(even which I might not be knowing).So anyway,networks...lol,am not defining things here,I know you can define it yourself or probably look on net.
A network is a collection of computers connected together
Networking is is a process of communication between the interconnected
devices basically to share the network resources.
Benefits of Networking:
1. Share resources.
i) Data
ii) Hardware
2. Share S/W
3. Sharing of license
Network is a collection of computers connected together to get benefited from
networking.
Networking: Networking is a process of communication among systems.
Well the above info is just copy and paste from MCSE(pdf,what I have).
But to understand the basic of networking,there are 7 OSI layers(wherein you actually see the data transfer from binary,to frame to packets to segments).
Let me just name the layers
7)Application Layer
6)Presentation Layer
5)Sessions Layer
4)Transport Layer
3)Network Layer
2)DataLink Layer
1)Physical Layer
(these are basics),you also have TCP/IP layers.But anyway..for a starter this is sufficient.
Presently Am using Packet Tracer Software to do things like configuring switch,port security...and many..need to look in to the book...
