 INTRODUCTION

• Cisco Networking Academy is an educational program developed by Cisco Systems to provide

comprehensive training and education in the field of networking, information technology, and cybersecurity.
It offers a wide range of courses, modules, and resources aimed at individuals, including students, educators,
and professionals, who want to acquire essential networking and technology skills. Cisco Networking
Academy's primary goals include:
• Cisco Networking Academy delivers a comprehensive, 21st century learning experience to help students
develop the foundational ICT skills needed to design, build, and manage networks, along with career skills
such as problem solving, collaboration, and critical thinking . Study the latest networking, security, and
cloud technologies and practice what student learn in hands-on labs and using simulation tool.

NETWORKING ESSENTIALS
• Networking essentials are the basic concepts and skills required to understand and manage
networks. This includes knowledge of network components, protocols, and topologies. It also
includes the ability to configure and troubleshoot networks.

You'll Learn These Core Skills:

• Plan and install a home or small business network using wireless technology, then connect it to the
Internet.
• Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills using Cisco Packet Tracer.
• What is Network ?
A network is a group of two or
more devices connected together so
they can communicate with each
other.
Networks can be as simple as two
computers connected by a cable, or
as complex as millions of devices
connected all over the world
through the Internet.
Types Networks
• There are many different types of networks, but some of the most common include:
• Local area networks (LANs): LANs are small networks
that are typically confined to a single building or campus.
➢ Example : Home Wi-Fi networks and small business networks
are common examples of LANs.

• Wide area networks (WANs): WANs are large networks that can span cities, countries, or even the entire
world.
➢ Example :A bank, including its branch offices and ATM machines, is another example of an organization
using a WAN.
• Metropolitan area networks (MANs): MANs are networks that fall
somewhere between LANs and WANs in terms of size. They are
typically used to connect businesses and other organizations in a
metropolitan area.
Example :Examples of a MAN are part of the telephone company
network that can provide a high-speed DSL line to the customer or the
cable TV network in a city.
Networking components
• Networking components are the physical and logical building blocks
that make up a computer network. These components work together
to facilitate communication and data exchange within a network.
Here are some essential networking components like Computers and
Devices , Servers , Routers , Switches , Hubs , Network Cables etc.
Network Topologies
• Network topologies define the physical or logical arrangement of devices and connections in a computer network.
• There are two main types of network topology: physical and logical.
• Physical topology is the physical layout of devices and connections in a network. It is the arrangement of cables and
wires that connect devices together.
• Logical topology defines how data flows through a network. It is the pattern of data transfers between devices.

• Types Of Network Topologies

1. Bus Topologies
2. Star Topologies
3. Ring Topologies
4. Mesh Topologies
5. Tree Topologies
 ➢BUS TOPOLOGY:
• Bus topology is a type of network topology in which
all devices are connected to a single cable called
a "bus."
• Bus topology is the simplest type of network topology
Bus Topology to implement, and it is often used in small networks,
such as home networks and small business networks.
Star Topology

• Star topology is a network topology where

all devices are connected to a central hub or
switch. This hub or switch is responsible for
routing data between the devices on the
network. Star topology is the most common
network topology in use today, and it is used
in a wide variety of environments, including
homes, offices, schools, and businesses.

Ring Topology

• In a ring topology, devices are connected in a

circular or ring-like fashion. Each device is
connected to exactly two other devices. This
creates a continuous path for data to flow
around the ring.
Mesh Topology
• Mesh topology is a network
topology where each device is
connected to multiple other
devices. This creates a web-like
structure.
Tree Topology

• In computer networking, Tree topology is a network topology in which devices are connected in a
hierarchical structuretre. It is a type of network topology that resembles a tree. In a tree
topology, there is one central node (the “trunk”), and each node is connected to the central
node through a single path. Nodes can be thought of as branches coming off of the trunk.
