Two types of computer networks are LAN (Local Area Network), which connects devices within a small geographic area like an office or building, and WAN (Wide Area Network), which connects devices over a larger geographic area, such as across cities or countries.
There are more than three types of input device... * Mouse * Keyboard * Microphone * Touchscreen * Scanner * Joystick * Barcode reader ... are just a few
An example of a storage area network is IBM DS4500. The main purpose of a SAN is to connect to different types of data storage devices.
Routers typically have three types of ports: LAN (Local Area Network) ports, which connect devices within a local network; WAN (Wide Area Network) ports, used to connect the router to an internet service provider; and USB ports, which can be used for various purposes, such as connecting external storage devices or printers. These ports facilitate communication and data transfer between devices and networks.
Network scanners can be categorized into several types, including port scanners, which identify open ports and services on devices; vulnerability scanners, which detect security weaknesses; and network mappers, which visualize network topology and connected devices. Additionally, there are packet sniffers that analyze data packets traveling through the network and wireless scanners that focus on detecting wireless networks and their security configurations. Each type serves a specific purpose in network management and security assessments.
A wireless man is a type of network connection that uses wireless technology to connect devices within a specific geographical area, such as a city or campus. It differs from other types of network connections, like wired connections or wireless LANs, in that it typically covers a larger area and allows for greater mobility and flexibility in connecting devices.
There are many types of built in wireless network connections. For example, lots of phones and computers come with Bluetooth.
Computer network devices also known as communication devices and they constitute a data communication network. These devices are routers, switches, hubs, LAN cards, gateway, modems, hardware firewall, CSU/DSU, ISDN terminals and transceivers. In an Ethernet or WAN network, the data communication cannot be performed without these devices. Being an IT professional or a network administrator, you must have the good understanding of these devices.
There are two types of network security concerns: network infrastructure security and content security. Securing a network infrastructure includes the physical securing of devices that provide network connectivity and preventing unauthorized access to the management software that resides on them. Content security refers to protecting the information contained within the packets being transmitted over the network and the information stored on network attached devices.
One device that is shared on the network is a router. This is the one that will connect the various devices to the shared network.
An ad-hoc network is a wireless network in which all connections are wireless. The only devices required are wireless network interface cards in all of the devices that want to participate in the network.
