- Contain MAC Address
62
Hub
- A device that connect computer together to make a LAN
- A 'dumb' device
63
Switch
- Same like hub
- A 'Intelligent' device
- More secure
64
Router
- A device that connect two or more networks
- Join together various different network and make up the internet
- Transmit internet and protocols
- Allow private network to be connected
- Use IP Address to receive or forward packet
65
Router Function

- Frame
71
Collision
- Ethernet support broadcast
- The risk of two data sent together in a same channel lead to collision
- CSMA/CD was developed
72
How CSMA/CD Work ?
- When collision detected
- Node stop transmitting frame
- Sent jammed signal
- Warn all end-station
- Wait for some time interval
- resend frame

- Data is retrieved from buffer
85
Benefit of private cloud
- Not rely on 3rd parties
- Better privacy
- More storage provided
86
How data transmission in star topology
- Sender will transmit packet to the switch
- Switch will check the destination address
- Forward packet directly only to the address
87
Drawback of CSMA/CD
- Constant jamming , nothing ever send
- High power consumption
- Limited distance
88
Private IP Address
- only can be accessed within the LAN
89
Static IP Address
- IP for the device does not change every time rejoin a network
- Used for internal LAN
90
How data is transmitted between LAN
- The data is transmitted from sender to ( router )
- The data has address to be sent
- The router will determine the address
- The router only transmit to receiver
91
Why we do subnetting ?
- Improve security
- Easier network management
- Improve network speed/performance
92
Public IP Address
- Assign to a device to allow direct connection to a network
93
Dynamic IP Address
- IP Address always change every time rejoining a network
94
IPv4
- 4 Groups
- Represented in 8 bits
- Separated by full stop
95
IPv6

- Separated by colon
- Multiple group that contain 0 values double colon
96
