Networking Basics for Students

This blog post discusses networking concepts and provides information about Lachlan Rees's contact details, devices, and upcoming units. It defines key networking terms like network protocols, packets, Ethernet, hardware, software and networking. Network protocols establish communication rules between computers on a network. Packets are chunks of data enclosed in wrappers that help identify and route the data. Ethernet is a system for connecting multiple computers to the internet using cables like Cat5 and Cat6. Hardware includes components like motherboards, monitors, and servers that can be used to set up a local area network. Software like Ubuntu can be installed to access and control networks. Networking involves servers, clients, users, administrators and moderators that allow data access and flow through

packets
Each piece of information transmitted on an Ethernet network
is sent in something called a packet. A packet is simply a
chunk of data enclosed in one or more wrappers that help to
identify the chunk of data and route it to the correct
destination.

Ethernet

Tech terms
Networking protocols (rules by agreement)
- TCP/IP (Terminal Computer Protocol/Internet Protocol)
Fixed e.g. 192.608.0.5
Bytes vs. Bits
Binary (10110000111)
IRQ (Internet Request) (Keyboard keys)
IRC (Internet Relay Chat Channel)

Hardware
Computer System = Mother Board, Cable, Monitor, OS, Hard
drive, Memory, Power, RAM, Keyboard etc.
Arduino
Raspberry Pi-B+
Any old PC
Or rebuilt one
Servers: setup own LAN

Software
Installing Unbuntu
http://
www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-desktop
Use 2gb USB or more

Networking
Server --[connection]--- client/clone (devices connected)
Users access data
Admins control restrictions
Moderators control data flow
PRAC master server, create own LAN, connect to server
and use server, protocols.

network
Switch something that allows data/electricity to pass
through by turning on and off
Hub the center of activity or network
RJ45 cable made of a twisted cat 5 and cat 6 cable
Cat 5 Ethernet cables
Cat 6 Ethernet but faster than Cat 5
Ethernet A system used for connecting multiple computers
to the internet.
