Variations on the elements of a network anditsdesign, however, arenearly infinite.A network can be as small as two computers connected by a cable in a homeoffice or the largest network all, the Internet, made up ofbillions of computersand otherdevicesconnected across the world via a combination of cable, phone lines, and wireless links.Networksmightlinkcellphones,personalcomputers,mainframecomputers,printers,corporate phone systems, security cameras, vehicles, and wearable technology devices. Theymight communicate through copper wires, fiber-optic cable, or radio waves. This chapterintroduces students to the fundamentals of networks and how technicians support them.Chapter ObjectivesAfter reading this chapter and completing the exercises, the student will be able to:Distinguish between client-server and peer-to-peer models used to control access to anetworkIdentify types of applications and protocols used on a networkDescribe various networking hardware devices and the most common physical topologiesDescribe the seven layers of the OSI modelExplore best practices for safety when working with networks and computersDescribe the seven-step troubleshooting model for solving a networking problemTeaching TipsNetwork Models1.Define and describe the termtopology.Discuss the two types of topology students willneed to understand:physical topologylogical topology2.Explain that controlling how users and programs get access to the resources on anetwork is a function of the OS used on the network.3.Introduce students to the peer-to-peer and the client-server network models.Point outthat the client-server model requires one or more network operating systems (NOS).
