Basic Networking
Network
A network is a group of two or more computer systems linked together. There are
many types of computer networks, including:
local-area networks (LANs) : The computers are geographically close
together (that is, in the same building).
ide-area networks (WANs) : The computers are farther apart and are
w
connected by telephone lines or radio waves.
Also deactivate all active plugins. You can reactivate them again after the
network is created.

You must choose one or the other. You can reconfigure your network to
use the other choice after installation, despite the advice on the screen,
but reconfiguring it might not be easy.

You only need wildcard DNS for on-demand domain-based sites, despite
the advice that may be on the screen.
Server Address
The domain of the URL you are using to access your WordPress
installation.
Network Title
The title of your network as a whole.
Note: The installer may perform a check for wildcard subdomains when
you have not configured them yet, or when you do not need them at all.
Ignore the warning if it does not apply to your network. See the Server
Requirements section in Before You Create A Network for information
about wildcard subdomains.

After completing these steps, log in again using the link provided. You
might have to clear your browser's cache and cookies in order to log in.
At the left of your WordPress toolbar, My Sites is now the second item.
There, all your sites are listed, with handy fly-out menus, as well as
a Network Admin menu item. Under Network Admin you can use
the Dashboard item to go to the Network Dashboard screen.

Advantages of LANs:
20 | Page
Disadvantages of LANs:
● Printing can be slow. Where a lot of workstations are served by only
one or two printers, long print queues may develop.
● A virus can spread more easily. If a virus gets into one computer, it is
likely to spread quickly across the network because it will get into the
central backing store.
● As data is shared there is a greater need for security. Users of the
network have to have authentication techniques such as user
ids and passwords. Unique user ID’s control access to the files and
settings on the network while passwords prevent unauthorized users
from logging onto the network. Data may also have to be
encrypted so that it is meaningless if intercepted.
● If the server fails, all the workstations are affected. Work stored on
shared hard disk drives will not be accessible and it will not be
possible to use network printers either.
● The cost of installing the equipment is greater. Cabling can be expensive to
buy and to install.
● Damage to cables can isolate computers. Some sections of the network can
become isolated and will not be able to communicate with the rest of the
network.

Advantages of WANs:
23 | Page
▪ These are similar to those of LAN’s except the scale of sharing etc.
becomes far greater and can be world-wide.
Disadvantages of WANs:
▪ Again these are similar to those of LAN’s except that issues such as
security become even more important as potential hackers could
break into a computer system from anywhere in the world rather than
having to physically be in a building.
▪ Encryption of secure data such as financial transactions is necessary
because it is even easier to intercept data.
I. NETWORKING CABLES
A. Twisted Pair Cables
Twisted pair cabling is a form of wiring in which pairs of wires (the
forward and return conductors of a single circuit) are twisted together for
the purposes of canceling outelectromagnetic interference (EMI) from

other wire pairs and from external sources. This type of cable is used for
home and corporate Ethernet networks.
There are two types of twisted pair cables: shielded, unshielded.
B. Coaxial

A. RJ45
RJ45 is a standard type of connector for network cables. RJ45 connectors
are most commonly seen with Ethernet cables and networks. RJ45
connectors feature eight pins to which the wire strands of a cable

Networking hardware may also be known as network
equipment or computer networking devices. Units which are the last
receiver or generate data are called hosts or data terminal equipment.

computers are connected so that the signal travels around the network
from one computer to another in a logical ring. A single electronic token
moves around the ring from one computer to the next. If a computer
does not have information to transmit, it simply passes the token on to
the next workstation. If a computer wishes to transmit and receives an
empty token, it attaches data to the token. The token then proceeds
around the ring until it comes to the computer for which the data is
meant. At this point, the data is captured by the receiving computer. The
Token Ring protocol requires a star-wired ring using twisted pair or fiber
optic cable. It can operate at transmission speeds of 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps.
Due to the increasing popularity of Ethernet, the use of Token Ring in
school environments has decreased.
FDDI
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) is a network protocol that is used
primarily to interconnect two or more local area networks, often over
large distances. The access method used by FDDI involves token-passing.
FDDI uses a dual ring physical topology. Transmission normally occurs on
one of the rings; however, if a break occurs, the system keeps
information moving by automatically using portions of the second ring to
create a new complete ring. A major advantage of FDDI is high speed. It
operates over fiber optic cable at 100 Mbps.
ATM
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a network protocol that transmits
data at a speed of 155 Mbps and higher. ATM works by transmitting all
