LO1: Examine networking principles and their protocols
* Definition networking
* Role of networks: Purpose, benefits, resource implications, communications, working practice, commercial
opportunity, information sharing, collaboration.
🡪 Network Basics Companion Guide, chapter 1.
* Networking standards: Conceptual models e.g. OSI model, TCP/IP model; standards: e.g. IEEE 802.x.
* Topology: Logical e.g. Ethernet, Token Ring; physical e.g. star, ring, bus, mesh, tree.
* Protocols: Purpose of protocols; routed protocols e.g. OSPF, ICMP,…
LO2: Explain networking devices and operations
* Networking devices: Servers; hub, routers; switches; multilayer switch, firewall, HIDS, repeaters; bridges;
wireless devices; access point (wireless/wired), content filter, Load balancer, Modem, Packet shaper, VPN
concentrator.
* Networking software: Client software, server software, client operating system, server operating system,
Firewall.
* Server type: Web, file, database, combination, virtualisation, terminal services server.
* Server selection: Cost, purpose, operating system requirement.
* Workstation: Hardware e.g. network card, cabling; permissions; system bus; local-system architecture e.g.
memory, processor, I/O devices.
