Minimum Requirements for Networking

Minimum Requirements for Networking

The minimum requirements for networking are 4 to 6 computers and 4 to 6 network interface cards, Cat 6 cables for LAN connections and 4 to 6 network operating systems software, 4 to 6 IP addresses for network connections, and the set of rules (network protocol). The minimum requirements for networking are 4 to 6 computers and 4 to 6 network interface cards, Cat 6 cables for LAN connections and 4 to 6 network operating systems software, 4 to 6 IP addresses for network connections, and the set of rules (network protocol).

The following Minimum Requirements For Networking is

  1. PC’s
  2. NIC ( N/W interface card  (or) Either net card )
  3. Cables  & Connector
  4. Network OS
  5. IP-Address (Internet protocol)
  6. Protocol (Set of  rules)

PC’s (Computers)

Therefore networking we need to buy 4 to 6 computer sets like Monitors, Cabinets with CPU, Keyboards, and Mouse. Such as the basic essentials for computer systems to work fine. However, a CPU is a central processing unit it contains Motherboard, RAM, Processor, FAN, SMPS, CMOS battery, and VRAM.

NIC (N/W interface card  (or) Either net card)

A Network Interface Card (NIC) is used to connect computers to the network with the help of LAN cable (CAT 6). Therefore it provides connection between the computers and connects to the internet. It is also know as Ethernet Adaptor, LAN Adaptor, and Network Adaptor.

Cables  & Connector

A cables and connector is used to connect computers to communicate each other. Therefore LAN cables (CAT 5 or CAT 6 cables) are connect with ethernet cards to share information with each computer.

Network OS

An Operating system is software that interfaces between computer hardware and computer users. Therefore in network operating systems, it has features like DNS configuration, Active Directory configurations, SQL management, etc,.

Printer

What is Printer? Another widely used output device is a printer and it is a computer peripheral device. A printer produces a hard copy of a processed text or a result. A hard copy refers to a permanent human-readable text or graphics taken on physical print media such as paper or transparency. A printer will use toner to provide a quality print on paper, a toner is a replaceable material. Once the toner gets empty we can refill it and reuse it.  Most of the printers are used for commercial purposes such as private offices, industries, government offices, photo studios, etc,. Most of the printers are used to print emails, documents, files, images, color photos, color documents, color posts, banners, advertisement posters, etc,. There are the following 5 types of printers such as dot matrix printer, inkjet printer, laser printer, dye-sublimation printer, and plotter printer this are all the printer which uses nowadays for a printing purpose. A printer is characterized by the followin...

Optical Disk Drives

What is Optical Drives? Optical Drives is a hardware device which used for reading and writing  a data in CD and DVD Disc. It uses electromagnetic waves to produce visible light spectrum which provide a read/write data process in optical disc. The CD was develop by Sony and Denon which is introduce in 1984 and the storage capacity is 650 MB. The DVD is develop by Panasonic, Sony, and Toshiba which is introduce in 1995 and the storage capacity is 4.7 GB. Types of Optical Disk Drives Some of the commonly used optical storage devices compact disks are Compact Disk Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) Compact Disk Recordable (CD-R) Compact Disk Rewritable (CD-RW) Compact Disk Digital Video Disc (DVD) Types of Optical Disk Drives Compact Disk Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) The Compact Disk Read Only Memory it contains data were computers can read but not write or erase in CD-ROM it is a type of read-only memory. In the 1990s CD-ROM was use for software and data distribution for the computer. Some ...

IP Routing

What is IP Routing? IP routing is the field of routing methodologies of Internet Protocol (IP) packets within and across IP networks. This involves not only protocols and technologies but includes the policies of the worldwide organization and configuration of Internet infrastructure. In each IP network node, the following IP routing involves the determination of a suitable path for a network packets from a source to its destination in an IP network. Therefore the process uses static configuration rules or dynamically obtained status information to select specific packet forwarding methods to direct traffic to the next available intermediate network node one hop closer to the desired final destination, a total path potentially spanning multiple computer networks. Networks are separated from each other by specialized hosts, called gateways or routers with specialized software support optimized for routing...
