10、er.Networks carry data in many kinds of environments,including homes,small businesses,and large enterprises.There are four major categories of physical components in a computer network:the computer,interconnections,switches,and routers.Networks are depicted graphically using a set of standard icons.
11、The major resources that are shared in a computer network include data and applications,peripherals,storage devices,and backup devices.The most common network user applications include e-mail,web browsers,instant messaging,collaboration,and databases.User applications affect the network by consuming
12、 network resources.2007 Cisco Systems,Inc.All rights reserved.ICND1 v1.01-20The ways in which networks can be described include characteristics that address network performance and structure:speed,cost,security,availability,scalability,reliability,and topology.A physical topology describes the layou
13、t for wiring the physical devices,while a logical topology describes how information flows through a network.In a physical bus topology,a single cable effectively connects all the devices.In a physical star topology,each device in the network is connected to the central device with its own cable.Whe
14、n a star network is expanded to include additional networking devices that are connected to the main networking device,it is called an extended-star topology.Summary(Cont.)2007 Cisco Systems,Inc.All rights reserved.ICND1 v1.01-21Summary(Cont.)In a ring topology,all the hosts are connected in the for
15、m of a ring or circle.In a dual-ring topology,there are two rings to provide redundancy in the network.A full-mesh topology connects all devices to each other;in a partial-mesh topology,at least one device has multiple connections to all other devices.There are three common methods of connecting the small office to the Internet:DSL using the existing telephone lines,cable using the CATV infrastructure,and serial links using the classic digital local loops.2007 Cisco Systems,Inc.All rights reserved.ICND1 v1.01-22
