Technical & industry Knowledge Flashcards
What is a LAN,
what does it stand for
What’s the analogy
LAN (Local Area Network):
A network that connects devices within a small geographic area, such as an office or a home.
Analogy: Think of it as the network inside your house that connects all your devices.
WAN (Wide Area Network): A network that covers a large geographical area, connecting multiple LANs. Analogy: Imagine a network connecting multiple offices in different cities.

What is a router
Router: A networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks, connecting different networks like LAN and WAN.
Analogy: A router is like a post office that directs letters (data packets) to their correct destinations.

What is a switch
What is the analogy
Switch: A networking device that connects devices within a LAN and forwards data packets to the correct device on the network.
Analogy: Think of a switch as a traffic cop directing cars (data packets) to their correct destinations within a city.

What is a network protocal
What is an analogy
Network Protocol: A set of rules and conventions that govern how devices communicate and exchange data over a network.
Analogy: Protocols are like different languages spoken by devices to understand each other.
Image:
What is network topology
Network Topology: The arrangement or layout of network devices and the connections between them. Common network topologies include bus, star, ring, and mesh.
Analogy: Network topologies are like different ways of organizing city streets (grid, circular, etc.).

What is a OSI model
What is the analogy
OSI Model (Open Systems Interconnection): A conceptual framework that standardizes the functions of a network into seven distinct layers, each with a specific purpose. Analogy: Think of the OSI model as a multi-layered cake, where each layer has its own flavor and function.

What is Subnetting
What is analogy of this
Subnetting: The process of dividing an IP network into smaller network segments, improving network efficiency and organization.
Analogy: Subnetting is like dividing a large city into smaller neighborhoods for easier management.
Image:
What is an IPA
IP Address (Internet Protocol Address): A unique numerical label assigned to each device on a network, used to identify and locate devices.
Analogy: An IP address is like a street address for your house that allows mail to be delivered correctly.
Image:
What is a DHCP
what’s an analogy
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): A network protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network, simplifying IP address management.
Analogy: DHCP is like a hotel receptionist assigning rooms (IP addresses) to guests (devices) as they check in.
Image:
What is a DNS
what’s an analogy
DNS (Domain Name System): A system that translates human-readable domain names (e.g., www.example.com) into IP addresses, making it easier to find and access resources on the Internet. Analogy:
DNS is like a phonebook that helps you find the phone number (IP address) of a person (website) by their name (domain name).
Image:
What is a VPN
what’s an analogy
VPN (Virtual Private Network): A secure, encrypted connection between two networks or between a device and a network, allowing users to send and receive data privately.
Analogy: A VPN is like a secure, private tunnel that only authorized users can travel through.
