Network Switch
A switch, in the context of computer networking, is a device that connects multiple devices in a local area network (LAN) and forwards data packets between them. It operates at the data link layer (Layer…
Firewall
A firewall is a network security device that acts as a barrier between an internal network and the external network (usually the Internet). It monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined…
Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS)
Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) are security technologies designed to protect computer networks from unauthorized access, malicious activities, and potential cyber threats. They monitor network traffic, analyze it for suspicious patterns or behaviors, and…
Routing
Routing is a fundamental concept in computer networking that involves the process of directing network traffic between different networks or subnets. It determines the most efficient path for data packets to travel from a source…
IP Network

Packetization
Packetization is the process of breaking down data into smaller units called packets for transmission over an IP network. This process involves dividing the data into manageable chunks and adding necessary header information to each…
TCP/IP and OSI Models
The TCP/IP model, also known as the Internet Protocol Suite, is a conceptual framework that defines how data is transmitted and received over networks. It is a layered model that provides a structured approach to…
Automation
BasicĀ – Access – IP Network – Services – Security – Automation The need for automation in networking has become increasingly important in recent years due to the growing complexity and scale of modern networks.…
Encryption
Network encryption is a security measure that involves the conversion of data transmitted over a computer network into an unreadable format. This process helps protect the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information while it is…
