Network Devices

1.Network card/ Adapters

All computers must be installed with at least one network adapter.

Network adapters come according to speeds such as 10/100 and 100/1000 

Also we require separate network adapters according to type of cable.

2.Repeaters

These are the devices used to extend the maximum distances of cables.

It takes weak signals and strengths it so that it can travel more distance.

Repeaters are two parts devices that can only extends a single connection.


2.HUB

This the central device used in STAR devices.

It provides the interface through which multiple computers can communicate with each other.

This device also come according to speed and number of parts.

We need separate HUBs according to type of cable.

4.Bridge

This is the device used to interconnect two network segments together. 

It can remember the physical address of all computers and perform.

5.Switch traffic filtering between segements to reduce collison

This the same as bridge but it can interconnect multiple segment together.

6.Router

This is used to interconnect different network together.

It can store the logical address of the network and perform traffic filtering.

7.Brouter   

This can function both as a bridge and router.

It can filter traffic both logically and remotely.

Since developed country, has a divers population, it will be hard for the immigrants to understand the different accents of native speakers. Also it takes a long time to learn all th...

  What is Linux Shell? In Linux and Unix, a shell refers to a program that is used to interpret the typed commands the user sends to the operating system.  The closest analogy in windows is  MS-DOS, Shell name is COMMAND.COM which is also used for same purpose, but it's not as powerful as our Linux Shells are! Computer understand the language of 0's and 1's called binary language. In early days of computing, instruction are provided using binary language, which is difficult for all of us, to read and write. So in OS there is special program called Shell. Shell accepts your instruction or commands in English (mostly) and if its a valid command, it is pass to kernel.   Shell is a user program or it's environment provided for user interaction. Shell is an command language interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input device (keyboard) or from a file. Shell is not part of system kernel, but uses the system kernel to execute pr...

Awk programming The easiest way to learn the awk command usage is to see them in action. In order to find the working directory we are in . Type pwd ( "print working directory" ) Then type ls ( listing)for listing to see what's in the current directory $ ls Permissions and Ownership List directories and files ls -al # shows something like this for each file/dir: drwxrwxrwx # d: directory # rwx: read write execute # first triplet: user permissions (u) # second triplet: group permissions (g) # third triplet: world permissions (o)     It shows like this when we type   $ls -al   drwxr-xr-x 2 prakash prakash 4096 Oct 27 03:56 Videos drwxr-xr-x 2 prakash prakash 4096 Nov 18 10:19 .vim -rw------- 1 prakash prakash 11158 Dec 16 18:54 .viminfo -rw------- 1 prakash prakash 124 Dec 16 18:11 .Xauthority -rw------- 1 prakash prakash 82 Dec 16 18:11 .xsession-errors Assign write and execute permission...
