What is Switch?
Switches are networking A switch has many ports, to
devices operating at layer 2 which computers are
or a data link layer of the plugged in. When a data

devices in a network and a network switch, it
use packet switching to examines the destination
address, performs
send, receive or forward
necessary checks and sends
data packets or data the frame to the
frames over the network. corresponding device(s).It
supports unicast, multicast
as well as broadcast
communications.

Protocol
- a set of technical rules that control the exchange of
information between different computers or
computer networks.

Wired
- Connected to a computer or other device by
a wire.
- Using computers and internet
Wireless
- Using a system of radio signals rather than
wires to connect computers, cell phones, etc.
to each other.
Network
A computer network can be defined as a set
of computers connected together for the
purpose of sharing resources. The most
common resource shared today is connection
to the Internet. Examples of other shared
resources can include a printer or a file server.
The Internet itself can be considered as
a huge computer network. 

7
Router
Routers are networking devices operating at
layer 3 or a network layer of the OSI model.
They are responsible for receiving, analyzing,
and forwarding data packets among the
connected computer networks. When a data
packet arrives, the router inspects the
destination address, consults its routing tables
to decide the optimal route and then transfers
the packet along this route.

8
TCP
- (Transmission Control Protocol) is a standard that defines how to
establish and maintain a network conversation through which
application programs can exchange data.

Nodes
- A node is a basic unit of a data structure, such as a
linked list or tree data structure. Nodes contain data and
also may link to other nodes.

Wireless
- A device is a unit of physical hardware or equipment that provides one
or more computing functions within a computer system. It can provide
input to the computer, accept output or both.
Patch Panels
- is a piece of hardware with multiple ports that helps organize a
group of cables. Each of these ports contains a wire that goes
to a different location.

HTTP
- It stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. This is the
protocol being used to transfer hypertext documents that
makes the World Wide Web possible.

Ethernet
- is a way of connecting computers together in a local area network or
LAN. It has been the most widely used method of linking
computers together in LANs since the 1990s.
10
WAP
- WAP is the set of rules governing the transmission and reception of
data by computer applications on or via wireless devices like mobile
phones.

SMTP
- (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a set of interaction
guidelines that allow the software to transmit electronic mail
over the internet, referred to as Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol.

Application
and Examples
of Intranets

27
GoDaddy

Traditional tools didn’t provide

the level of engagement,
personal interaction and real
dialogue GoDaddy was looking
for, so they turned to Jive.
Within months of launching a
Jive Interactive Intranet,
engagement increased by 81%
in GoDaddy’s customer care
group. With an interactive
intranet, people are better
connected, better informed and
better able to contribute ideas
and execute the company’s
mission.
Vodafone Ukraine

Leading Ukrainian
mobile operator
Vodafone Ukraine took
Jive’s out-of-the-box
interactive intranet,
configured it to suit the
company’s needs and
drove major
organizational
improvements.
Schaeffler Group

Schaeffler is a global
automotive and industrial
supplier with more than
92,000 employees in over 50
countries. The company
replaced their 15-year-old
intranet with a Jive
Interactive Intranet, aka
“Schaeffler CONNECT.”
Cox Automotive

A Jive-powered interactive
intranet, dubbed “Fuel,”
gives Cox Automotive a
unified platform for
corporate communication,
collaboration, knowledge
sharing and social interaction
across the entire company.
It’s helped Cox evolve from
a collection of separate
acquisitions into a cohesive
organization that’s better
able to harness synergies
among its many brands and
extend its reach globally.

Clinics.
Types of Computer Network
A computer network can be categorized by their size.
A computer network is mainly of four types:

•LAN(Local Area Network)

•PAN(Personal Area Network)
•MAN(Metropolitan Area Network)
•WAN(Wide Area Network)

35
LAN (Local Area Network)

Local Area Network is a

group of computers
connected to each other
in a small area such as
building, office.

36
PAN(Personal Area Network)

Personal Area
Network is a
network arranged
within an individual
person, typically
within a range of
10 meters.

37
Two Types of Personal Area Network

•Wired Personal Area Network

•Wireless Personal Area Network
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)

A metropolitan area
network is a network
that covers a larger
geographic area by
interconnecting a
different LAN to form a
larger network.

39
WAN(Wide Area Network)

A Wide Area Network is

a network that extends
over a large
geographical area such
as states or countries.
