    Summary of Cisco Module 1: Network Basics:


    Network Basics: An Overview
     A network is a collection of interconnected devices (such as computers, servers, switches, and
    routers) that can communicate with each other.
     Networks can be classified based on their size and scope:
    o Local Area Network (LAN): Covers a small geographical area (e.g., within a building or
    campus).
    o Wide Area Network (WAN): Spans larger distances (e.g., across cities or countries).

    o Metropolitan Area Network (MAN): Falls between LAN and WAN in terms of size.

     Network Components:
    o Nodes: Devices connected to the network.

    o Links: Communication channels (wired or wireless) between nodes.

    o Switches: Devices that connect multiple nodes within a LAN.

    o Routers: Connect different networks (e.g., LANs and WANs).

     Protocols:
    o TCP/IP: The fundamental protocol suite for the internet.

    o Ethernet: Common LAN technology.

    o IPv4 and IPv6: Versions of the Internet Protocol.

     Network Topologies:
    o Star Topology: All devices connect to a central switch or hub.

    o Bus Topology: Devices share a common communication line.

    o Ring Topology: Devices form a closed loop.

     Network Security:
    o Firewalls: Protect networks from unauthorized access.

    o Encryption: Secures data during transmission.

    o Access Control Lists (ACLs): Control network traffic.

     Subnetting:
    o Dividing an IP address range into smaller subnetworks.

    o Helps manage IP addresses efficiently.

    Notes summarizing key concepts from Cisco Module 1: Network Today:

    1. **Introduction to Networks**:
    - Networks connect devices and allow them to communicate and share resources.
    - Types of networks include LANs (Local Area Networks) and WANs (Wide Area Networks).

    2. **Network Components**:
    - **Devices**: Computers, routers, switches, and servers.
    - **Media**: Cables (like Ethernet), fiber optics, and wireless connections.

    3. **Networking Models**:
    - **OSI Model**: Organizes networking functions into seven layers, from physical (Layer 1) to
    application (Layer 7).
    - **TCP/IP Model**: Used for internet communication, consisting of four layers: network interface,
    internet, transport, and application.

    4. **Ethernet Standards**:
    - Common standard for wired networking, defining protocols for data transmission over LANs.
    - Speeds range from traditional Ethernet (10 Mbps) to Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) and beyond.

    5. **IP Addressing**:
    - **IPv4**: Uses 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and is the most widely used addressing scheme.
    - **IPv6**: Uses 128-bit addresses (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334) to address the
    issue of IPv4 address exhaustion.

    6. **Networking Protocols**:
    - **TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)**: Provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of
    data over IP.
    - **UDP (User Datagram Protocol)**: Provides connectionless, unreliable, and fast delivery of data
    over IP.

    7. **Wireless Networking**:
    - Utilizes radio waves to transmit data over the air instead of physical cables.
    - Common standards include Wi-Fi (802.11) for local wireless connectivity.

    8. **Network Security**:
    - Protects networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and data breaches.
    - Techniques include firewalls, encryption, VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), and authentication
    protocols.

    9. **Cloud Computing**:
    - Network-based services and resources delivered over the internet.
    - Examples include public, private, and hybrid cloud deployments.

    10. **Emerging Technologies**:


    - **IoT (Internet of Things)**: Interconnected devices and sensors that communicate over the internet.
    - **5G Networks**: Next-generation wireless technology promising faster speeds and lower latency.
