Report writing for fundamental of computing (week 3)

-

 On the third week of August we learned about Computers Network and Hardware essentials which is under topic B01 and 


  1. Topic BO1

Network Communication 

- Kilobit is one thousand bits.

-kbps(kilobit per second) or KBps(Kilobytes per second)

-K stands for 1024 and k stands for 1000

-Download speed and internet bandwidth depends on kbps (higher the kbps faster is the speed of the download)

Components of networks

hardware components need

-NIC provides connection between the computer and the network. It is like chip that helps computer to connect connect to the network.

-network medium can be air waves as in wireless and cable for NIC. 

- interconnecting device.


NIC

Components of networks
1. Software components
-network client and server 
Client server- request information stored from another device
Server software - allows device to share its resources.

- protocols meaning rules
-NIC driver forwards data to NIC(chip like)

Layers of Network communication process
1.user application
2.network software
3.network protocol
4.network interface

Broadcast IP address- message broadcasting for all the networks.

Network Terminology
-internetwork : networked collection of LANs(Local area network)
All LAN connected to router.
 

PAN(Personal area network): connects electronic device within the a users immediate area. example like air pods and wireless headphone.

LAN(local area network): collection of devices connected together in one physical location. it covers smaller area.
wireless LAN- router connecting many devices.

MAN(Metropolitan Area Networks)- collection of LAN and it covers larger are than LAN.

WAN(wide area networks)- covers larger area than MAN and WAN thus it is expensive.




Internet- world wide area./ public network
Intranet- private network
Extranet- limited access to internal resources by outside user.

Private IP address- for private networks.
IP address for private network (192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255) &(172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255) &(10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255)

difference between private and public IP address



# IP address can be only accessed through intranet not internet.
#same IP address for particular neatwork but deferent mac address.

what is packet?
- it is a smaller segment of larger message.
- have source an destination IP address

what is frames?
- packet with source and destination IP/ MAC address

* process of adding IP address and MAC address to chunks of data is called encapsulation.

Fundamental of Computing DO3 On 10th week I learned about fundamental commands in Linux, basic file operations, and an introduction to the Linux file system. I also learned more advanced commands, such as those for process management, system monitoring, and package management. The explanation of the "ls -al" command and examples for interpreting its output are also taught by our lecturer. Additionally, the content briefly touched on text editors like VI or VIM, Nano, and gedit. In the second section we  discussed the Linux file system, highlighting the directory tree, pathname, and different types of files in Linux, including regular files, directories, special files, sockets, pipes, and links. And to know more , some examples are shown to illustrate practical usage scenarios for these commands and concepts Basic Command in Linux The command given below are used in Linux; ·        ls : Lists the contents of a directory. ·   ...

 On 12th and 13th week week we worked on practical 10 which was about configuring web(apache) and FTP servers. Practical 10 We will configure the Web server and FTP server in our system(Ubuntu 20.04LTS). We will make use of the virtual machine. You can get help related to ftp command with the command <man ftp>. Note : If you get permission issues while doing the practical. Please use the concept of previous practicals and solve it. Configuring Apache Web Server What is an Apache web server? - An Apache web server is a software program that runs on a computer and makes websites accessible on the internet. It receives requests from web browsers (like Chrome or Firefox) and sends back the web pages and other files that make up a website.   Which port number is used by the Apache webserver by default? - The default port number used by the Apache web server is port 80 ( secure port for communicating with world for Apache is 443.)   1. Install the Apache webserver with th...

Topic C02: Network  Protocols Network protocols are like set of rules that devices in a network follow to communicate with each other. They break down big tasks into smaller ones and work together to get things done. Its like a team effort.   It plays an important role is DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONs.   Application Layer It is a crucial component of the OSI model, serving as the interface btw end-user software and the network. It enables software to communicate and present data to users. Some notable application layer protocols include: 1.HTTP(Hypertext Transfer Protocol) -it is used for web browsing. 2.FTP(File Transfer Protocol) -it enables the transfer of files btw devices or servers 3.DNS(Domain Name System) -it converts domain name into IP addresses, making web addressing user-friendly. 4.SMTP(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) -It is responsible for sending emails. 5.POP(Post Office Protocol) -It allows email clients to retrieve  a messages from a mail server. 6.Telnet -...
