I am training COMPUTER NETWORKS

Exercise 1.
Complete the paragraph below with words from the following list:
information / equipment / network / share / communication

A computer network is a set of computer equipment (hardware and software) interconnected by

means of communication allowing the exchange of information and the sharing of material resources
software.

Exercise 2.
Question 1: Give the name of each material element constituting the local network below.

Server

2: Fixed client line

3: Switch

4: Wi-Fi Terminal

5: Modem router

6 :Bridge

7: Network printer

8 :Internet

9: Mobile client post

Question 2: Provide the use function of elements number 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

It allows you to save your files so you can find them on all computers and manage sessions.
each one.
It allows to connect all the material elements of the network together.
It wirelessly transmits the data it receives to all the stations within its range.
It allows all the computers on the network to access the Internet.
6: It protects the network from external attacks and restricts access to blacklisted sites. It
Record all connections.

Question 3: What is the connection medium between devices 2 and 3?

The link support between devices 2 and 3 is the wired connection.

Question 4: What is the link medium between devices 4 and 9?

The support of the link between devices 4 and 9 is the electromagnetic wave.

Exercise 3.
Question 1: Nowadays, computers work in a network. What is the point?

The interest in communicating, storing, and sharing data, sharing applications, sharing
materials. Examples:
By networking, all computers on the network can use the same printer.
You can consult and modify data from any workstation on the network; it is not
necessary to always return to the same computer.

Question 2: What language do computers use to talk to each other?

Computers use binary language (0 and 1).

Question 3: What is a data frame? Does it only contain the information that a computer...
want to send to another? Write a sample outline.

A frame corresponds to a sentence in binary, made up of several words that follow one another and that
contain a lot of information.

A data frame naturally contains the transmitted data but also information about
the departure address, the arrival address, the size of the data to be transmitted, the information on whether it was successful or not
the previous transmission.

Question 4: In what forms are the data frames transported:

in a copper wire? They are transmitted by electrical signals.

In an optical fiber? They are transported by light signals.
with wireless technology? They are transmitted by radio waves.
In any case, these physical signals correspond to the binary data frames that we wish.
transmit from one computer to another.

Question 5: What is an IP address? What does the TCP/IP protocol allow?

The TCP/IP protocol, created in 1982, allows for the reliable transport of digital data from a
computer to another, and to verify which ones have indeed arrived at their destination. With this protocol, each
A computer has a unique identifier called an IP address (Internet Protocol).

Question 6: What is the purpose of the DNS service?

It allows us to enter the name of a site instead of the uncertain input of its IP address, in order to access the site.

Question 7: What is the purpose of a routing protocol?

When sending a packet to a computer that is far away from us, we have to go through many routers.
who receive the frame and must send it elsewhere.

There are several possible paths to route this frame from one computer to another. The one that will
Often, the one who is the fastest to transmit the frame is the one who gets held up. Optimization is done on time.
of the route, and not on the geographical distance to be covered.

Indeed, some computers can be very close to each other, but sometimes their connection is...
overloaded by a very high use of the network, and therefore very slow. In this case, it is better to take a
another way.

Pierre and Nathalie are two students from the same school. They both have an account in the network of
The institution. Their identifiers were issued to them at the beginning of the year.

Question 1: What must Pierre and Nathalie do to be able to return to their personal environment (office,
files...) on the computer that each person uses in the technology room?
To regain their personal environment, they must log into their computer session on the network.
by entering the username and password.

Question 2: Which server do they communicate with to use the network?

To use the network, they communicate with the account server.

Question 3: Pierre saves his work in a location called 'My Documents'. On which server is his
Is the file saved?
Your file is saved on the file server.

Question 4: The following week, Nathalie, identified on her account, occupies Pierre's position. Does she have access to
Pierre's personal environment?
Nathalie identified on her own account from Pierre's computer does not have access to the environment.
staff of the latter.

Question 5: Pierre is in the CDI and is using a computer with his own account. Can he retrieve his file to the
modifier?
Yes, he can retrieve his file from another computer if he opens his personal environment.

Question 6: Can Nathalie and Pierre use the same printer?

The two students can use the same printer.
