What is CCNA?

What is CCNA?

What is CCNA?

Definition: CCNA is a popular certification in computer networking developed 

by Cisco Systems. Cisco created the CCNA to recognize basic competency in 

installation and support of medium-sized networks.

The core CCNA certification can be obtained by passing a single 90-minute 

written exam. The exam has no prerequisites, although Cisco and other 

companies offer various formal training courses to help students prepare. 

Topics covered on the CCNA exam include

LAN and WAN design (including the OSI model)

IP addressing

Routers and routing protocols (including OSPF, EIGRP and RIP)

VLAN (virtual LAN) and WLAN (wireless LAN)

Network security and management (including ACLs)

What is Wireless Computer Networking?

What is Wireless Computer Networking? 

What is Wireless Computer Networking?

        The term wireless networking refers to technology that enables two or more computers to communicate using standard network protocols, but without network cabling. Strictly speaking, any technology that does this could be called wireless networking. The current buzzword however generally refers to wireless LANs. 
       This technology, fuelled by the emergence of cross-vendor industry standards such as IEEE 802.11, has produced a number of affordable wireless solutions that are growing in popularity with business and schools as well as sophisticated applications where network wiring is impossible, such as in warehousing or point-of-sale handheld equipment.

IP ADDRESS (INTERNET PROTOCOL)

 IP ADDRESS (INTERNET PROTOCOL)  

 IP ADDRESS (INTERNET PROTOCOL)

An IP address is a unique address used to locate and identify a device over a network. That device can be an electronic device, a computer, a server, a router or even an IP phone. It is the addressing used for the transmission of data packets over a network working with the IP protocol.

An IP address is slightly complex to understand in details for non-technical readers, so I try to explain briefly what they are. We see
