The utilization of networking hardware is used to connect different computers to a server in the case of my company it will be used to connect the different sections within our company. There are many different types of hardware to include bridges, routers, switches, and even networking cards. Our company will use routers, firewalls, and switches. With the routers and firewalls we will protected from threats to a degree by viruses, and attackers. One of the most commonly used is McAfee Antivirus which is the software that I would present to be used as security software. With the routers and firewalls, it will block any unwanted activity coming across the network. The use of the software allows the use of a security firewall that works with the internet firewall increasing our chances of not being attacked or corrupted by viruses, and hackers. It also provides anti-spyware upon the network, indicates safety of websites, and web protection detects and helps rid the network of any spyware, malware, and viruses, phishing and spam when it comes to email, and web usage. Without both networking hardware and software total security cannot exist.
A Land Are Network (LAN) is a network that connects a group of computers that are within distance of each other to the same network. LAN’s are very useful when it comes to printer sharing and sending and receiving files between all the systems within the facility that share that one network. A LAN is connected by using Ethernet cables, adapters, and hubs. Its counterpart is the WAN or Wide Area Network a WAN is connected by two or more LAN’s and are used for public networking the largest is the internet. This is primarily used for larger networks because it can cover more area giving access to more users. A WLAN connection is the WAP or Wireless Access Point that is transmitted by radio waves over hundreds of feet connected by the internet hub. WLAN is composed of
