Читать книгу CompTIA Network+ Study Guide - Todd Lammle - Страница 12

This chapter created a solid foundation for you to build your networking knowledge on as you go through this book.

In it, you learned what, exactly, a network is, and you got an introduction to some of the components involved in building one – routers, switches, and hubs – as well as the jobs they do in a network.

You also learned that having the components required to build a network isn't all you need. Understanding the various types of network connection methods, like peer-to-peer and client-server, is also vital.

Further, you learned about the various types of logical and physical network topologies and the features and drawbacks of each. I wrapped up the chapter with a short discussion about network backbones and segments and equipped you with the right questions to ask yourself to ensure that you come up with the right network topology for your networking needs.
