a _ is a set of computer or devices connected to each other with the ability to exchange data.
computer network
is the arrangement of the elements of a communication network?
Network topology
It is usually a small network constrained to small geographic area.
Local area network (LAN)
A computer network in which the computers connected may be far apart, generally having a radius of half a mile or more.
wide area network (WAN)
is a wireless distribution method for two or more devices that use high-frequency radio waves and often include an access
Wireless Local Area Network or WLAN
The term is applied to the interconnection of networks in a city into a single larger network.
metropolitan area network
is a computer network for interconnecting devices centered on an individual person’s workspace.
Personal Area Network (PAN)
is a network topology in which nodes are directly connected to a common linear half-duplex link.
A bus network
is a network configuration in which device connections create a circular data path.
Ring topology
In this configuration, every node connects to a central network device, like a hub, switch, or computer.
Star topology
A network setup where each computer and network device are interconnected with one another, allowing for most transmissions to be distributed even if one of the connections go down.
mesh topology
Is a node that broadcasts data to every computer or Ethernet-based device connected to it
network hub
a device that is used at the Access or OSI Layer 2; also, can be used to connect multiple hosts (PCs) to the network
Switch hub
A router is a device that analyzes the contents of data packets transmitted within a network or to another network.

wireless router
a type of connector commonly used for Ethernet networking.
RJ45 connector
wiring pattern is recognized as the preferred wiring pattern for this standard because it provides backward compatibility to both one pair and two pair USOC wiring schemes.
T568a
standard matches the older ATA&T 258A color code and is/was (?) the most widely used wiring scheme. It is also permitted by the ANSI/TIA/EIA standard, but it provides only a single pair backward compatibility to the USOC wiring scheme.
t568b
cable is a type of CAT where one end is T568A configuration and the other as T568B configuration.
Pin 1 is crossed with Pin 3 and Pin 2 is crossed with Pin 6.
crossover
A popular type of cable that consists of two unshielded wires twisted around each other.
utp

The cable standard provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T
Cat5
This Category cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet over twisted pair.
The cable standard provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is suitable for 100BASE-TX
cat5e
This Category cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet over twisted pair.
The cable standard provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is suitable for 1000BASE-T.
cat6
Refers to the planning of the implementation of a computer network infrastructure.
Network design
It is a numeric/symbolic number or address that is assigned to any device that seeks access to or is part of a network.
addressing
It is the strategy used to partition a single physical network into more than one smaller logical sub-networks.
Subnetting
A facility allowing computers, smartphones, or other devices to connect to the Internet or communicate with one another wirelessly within a particular area.
wifi
a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network
wireless access point (WAP)
a sequence of characters that uniquely names a wireless local area network (WLAN)
service set identifier (SSID)
a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC).
MAC
a hardware identification number that uniquely identifies each device on a network.
Media Access Control (MAC)

windows server
It is a specialized operating system for a network device such as a router, switch or firewall.
network operating system (NOS)
A hierarchical and decentralized naming system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the Internet or a private network.
Dns
It is a client/server protocol that automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
It is a feature of the Microsoft Windows NT family of operating systems that controls the working environment of user accounts and computer accounts.
Group Policy
A location on a network server used to store a computer username, password, and other information.
user account
These are used together to redirect the path of local folders (such as the Documents folder) to a network location, while caching the contents locally for increased speed and availability.
Folder Redirection
Remote desktop refers to a software or operating system feature that allows a personal computer’s desktop environment to be run remotely on one system, while being displayed on a separate client device.
remote dekstop
It is a device or unit featuring a number of jacks, usually of the same or similar type, for the use of connecting and routing circuits for monitoring, interconnecting, and testing circuits in a convenient, flexible manner.
