Thank you very much for the opportunity to interview for the position of Junior Network Administrator. You have requested my response to the following questions: What are some foundational concepts and components of a computer network? When explaining the foundational concepts of a network I will start with the different types of an area network. Here are some of the common types of area networks:
LAN - Local Area Network
WAN - Wide Area Network
WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network
MAN - Metropolitan Area Network
PAN - Personal Area Network
The mostly know area networks are LAN and WAN networks.
First I will explain what a computer network is. A computer network is an interconnected group of computers and/or devices that share information …show more content…
Components involved in a computer network: Hosts are the end device on the network or the source of information and another host will be the destination. A host can be a PC, an internet Server, a database server etc. Media is a twisted pair can be copper cable, fiber optic cable, coaxial cable or if wireless, it can be free-to-air radio frequency or some special wireless band. Wireless frequencies can be used to interconnect remote sites too. Hub is repeaters its main function is to connect hosts in a LAN segment. It is on Layer 1 of the OSI Model. Switches are also known as a bridge and is used to connect hosts to a LAN segment. Switches work on the Data Link Layer but they also can be set to work as a Layer 3 network device. Routers are Layer 3 devices on the Network Layer of the OSI model. Router are designed to make routing decisions for the data/information sent to some remote destination.
Gateways – can be a combination of software and hardware putting together works for exchanging data among networks which are using different protocols for sharing data. Firewall - Software or combination of software and hardware, used to protect users’

From my reference materials from Cisco and previous work history, I firmly believe that the #1 issue surrounding the deployment of a wireless network is wireless security. Specifically, passive monitoring, unauthorized access, and DoS attacks. Passive Monitoring – wireless networks are intentionally designed to propagate data throughout buildings and areas, almost always resulting in the radio signals traveling beyond the limits of the area. By default, wireless devices are configured for maximum…

1. What is the difference between a. and a. 1. What is the difference between a. and a. Choose a pair of two-digit numbers and find their greatest common divisor. Show the steps to the. For this example: 72 and 84. We'll find their greatest common divisor (GCD) using the Euclidean algorithm, which involves iteratively applying the division algorithm. Step 1: Divide the larger number by the smaller number and find the remainder. 84/72= 1 R 12 Step 2: Replace the larger number with the smaller number…
