Page 18 :
Hardware components:, Computer: it is used to send and receive information in the network. Some computers in the network act as client, some act as server and other act as ISP(Internet Service Provider)., , Network Interface Card(NIC): it is a network connecting device that is also known as network adapter. It is placed on the expansion slot of the motherboard. And It connect a computer in a network.
Page 19 :
c) Hub:- It is a network connecting device used in LAN(Local Area Network). It joins multiple computers together. The information sent from one computer to another passes through the hub. A hub can’t identify the source or intended destination of the information it receives, so it sends the information to all the computers connected to it. It can send or receive message but can’t do both at a same time so it works slower than switches or routers.
Page 20 :
d) Switch: it is a network connecting device the joins multiple computers together within one LAN(Local Area Network). It can be identify the intended destination of the information that they receive. Switches can send and receive information at the same time so they work faster than hubs.
Page 21 :
e) Router, It is a network connecting device that connects wired or wireless network together. , Router can determine the best path for sending data and filtering broadcast traffic to the local segment. So it is called router., Router always used in a complex network situation because that provide better traffic management than other device.

f) Bridge:- This device is used to join different networks or two segments with in a same protocol. it reduce the amount of traffic on a LAN by dividing two segments. they are operated at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI( Open System interconnection) model., g) Gateway:- This device is used to join two different networks having different protocols. It make communication possible between different architecture and environments. , h) Repeater:- it is a networking device that increase the length of network by amplifying weak signals. Repeater take a weak signal from the computers and regenerates the signal to maintain its integrity while traveling along a longer media. They are simply devices that sit on the network and boost the data signals that they received., i) Media Connectors:- it is used to connect communication media with network devices. They provide data communication through network adapter. There are different types of media connectors such as RJ-45(Registered Jack-45), BNC(British Naval Connector/Bayonet Naur Connector), T-Connector, Terminal, etc.

Network Architecture:- the architecture that describe how the computers on the network interact and communicate with other., Types of network architecture:, Client – Server Network Architecture, Peer-to-Peer Network Architecture., , Client- Server Architecture:- This network mode in which there is at least one server and other clients is called client server mode. Client always send request to the server and server response there request. There are different types of server such as: File server, Printer server, Message server, application Server, Web server etc. , Advantage of Client Server Network:, It covers large area., It reduce the network traffic., It centralizes the network management , and security to the server.
Page 30 :
Disadvantage of Client Server Network:- , Too many request from the clients and overload can lean to breaking- down of server system., If server fails, the whole network goes to down., It is very expensive to install and manage., It needs professional manpower to maintain., b) Peer –To-Peer Network Architecture:- This types of network, all the computers function both as a client and a server, in which, each computers have equal responsibilities of providing and using resources. It has no centralized data storage., Advantage of a Peer-To-Peer Network Architecture, All the resources are shared by all the peers(clients)., If failure of one peer doesn’t affect the functioning, of other peers., It is less expensive than Client server network.
Page 31 :
Disadvantage of a Peer-To-Peer Network:, The whole system is decentralized thus it is difficult to administer., Security system is very less., Data recovery or backup is very difficult., , # Network Topology /LAN Topology:- the arrangement and connection patterns of computers in the network is called topology.it is cabling structure or geographical arrangement of computer in LAN., Types of Topology/LAN topology:-, Bus or Linear topology, Star Topology, Ring Topology , Mesh Topology, Tree Topology
Page 32 :
Bus Topology or Linear topology:- this type of topology, all the nodes are connected to the single cable by the help of interface connectors. The centralized cable is the backbone of the network and is known as Bus., Advantage of Bus Topology:, it is easy to setup., It is cheaper than other topologies., It is widely used in small networks., Disadvantage of Bus topology:, If main cable has any problem, , whole network breaks down., There are maximum chance, of collision of data., It is difficult to detect fault.
Page 33 :
b) Star Topology:-in this topology, all the computer are connected to the central device(Hub, Switch)., Advantage of Star Topology:-, It provide better performance, than bus topology., New node can be added easily, without affecting the network., It is centralized management, and monitoring., Failure of one node or link doesn’t, affects the rest of network., Disadvantage of Star Topology:, If the central device fails, the entire network is break down., New node can be added to dependent on capacity of the central device.
Page 34 :
c) Ring Topology:-, This topology, all the nodes are connected to each-other in such a way that they make a closed circular loop(ring pattern)., This network provides equal access for all computers so, if one of the computer fails, it impacts all the computers in the network. There are no chance of data collision because data are travelled in one direction only that is clockwise or anticlockwise. , It uses TOKEN that passes one to next node, which checks if the signal intended to it. If yes, it receives it and passed the empty to into network., Advantage of Ring Topology:-, The collision of data is very less., It is not need to server to control., Each computer has equal access to resources., Disadvantage of Ring Topology:, It is slower., If one workstation or port goes down, the , entire network gets affected.
