A firewall operating between two networks typically includes features such as packet filtering, which examines incoming and outgoing traffic based on predefined security rules, and stateful inspection, which tracks active connections to ensure legitimate traffic flow. It may also provide intrusion detection and prevention capabilities to identify and block malicious activities. Additionally, many firewalls offer logging and monitoring functionalities to track traffic patterns and potential security breaches, as well as VPN support for secure remote access.
Firewall act as a security gateway between two networks as trusted and untrusted networks. (VIKRAM SINGH)
Security between networks is implemented in an intermediary device (a router or firewall appliance) at the perimeter of the network. The firewall function performed by this device permits only known, trusted data to access the network.
A firewall is a security system—hardware, software, or both—that controls and filters network traffic between different networks, usually protecting an entire organization or network. A personal firewall is software installed on an individual device (like a PC or laptop) to monitor and control its incoming and outgoing traffic, protecting that single device rather than a whole network. In short: Firewall → Protects a network Personal firewall → Protects a single computer or device
Provides interoperability between the various networks and nations operating in Afghanistan.
A router (a piece of hardware) is just a way to move/share a connection with several other computers (i.e. using a router so that all three computers in your house can use the same internet connection) - while a firewall (usually a piece of software) is meant to block unauthorized access (hackers) to your computer/network and help protect you from viruses, spam, etc. ----- Put this way---- With a router (with default settings) in between two or more networks, hosts from any two networks can communicate accross, because router has to entertain them (no security zoning) With a firewall (with default settings) in between two or more networks, hosts from any two networks CANNOT communicate accross, because firewall MUST NOT entertain them (Security Zones) ----BTW Read these lines if you are getting interviewed----- ;)
Fiber optic interconnected star has its known destination. Star networks require more wire it features a hub, switch or router lending to several different connections.
I believe it's a router. I have this question on a test the choices are. router, hub, layer 2 switch or firewall. I answered layer 2 switch. It was wrong.
differences between unilateral and bilateral networks
Firewall is a piece of software that creates a barrier between Internet and your PC. In short, Firewall analyzes the traffic that goes from and to your computer and blocks such packets (traffic) that could hurt your computer.
2. What is different between computer networks and internetwork?
