Computer networks can be divided into several types, based on their coverage area, namely: PAN, LAN, CAN, MAN, WAN and Internet.\u00a0In its implementation, there is a design scheme for building a computer network, known as topology.\u00a0Network topology is<\/strong>\u00a0a structure or arrangement of connections between devices contained in a computer network.\u00a0Network Topology determines how devices in a network communicate with each other.\u00a0There are various network topologies ranging from bus network topology, ring network topology, star network topology, mesh network topology, and tree network topology.<\/p>\n Computer Network Components<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There are several devices or computer network components that have their respective functions in building a computer network, among others<\/p>\n A router is a device that connects a local network with an external network (such as the internet).\u00a0Routers also function to direct data traffic between computer networks.<\/p>\n Switch is the same device as Hub.\u00a0The switch functions to communicate between devices on a network with each other.<\/p>\n A hub is a device that connects other devices on a network without regard to the destination address.\u00a0The difference between hubs and switches is that hubs are usually less efficient than switches.<\/p>\n Access Point is a device that functions to provide wireless access to a network.<\/p>\n Client Computer is the hardware used by end users to be able to access resources from the server.\u00a0Example: laptops and PCs<\/p>\n A server computer is a device that provides resources to client computers, for example: file servers, web servers.\u00a0The Server component functions to store and provide access to various resources and services on the network.<\/p>\n IoT (Internet of Things) devices are devices that can be sensors on the transmitter or receiver side such as sensors, cameras, or other smart devices connected to a network to send and receive data.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Also read : Network Access Control<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Cable is a transmission medium that can send information or data from one computer to another computer.\u00a0Cables become a physical path for transferring data between devices.\u00a0There are various types of cables that we use today, such as fiber optic cables and copper (coaxial) cables.<\/p>\n Wireless\u00a0(Wi-Fi)<\/em>\u00a0is a transmission medium based on electromagnetic waves (radio) to transfer data without using physical cables (Wireless).\u00a0Apart from Wi-Fi, another widely used wireless technology is Bluetooth.<\/p>\n TCP\/IP (Transmission Control Protocol\/Internet Protocol) is a computer network protocol as a standard for sending data on the internet.\u00a0TCP\/IP is used as the basic protocol for the internet and many local networks (LANs)<\/p>\n SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for sending email<\/p>\n FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for transferring files between devices on a network<\/p>\n HTTP\/HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol\/Secure) is a protocol for transferring data on the web.<\/p>\n DNS (Domain Name System) is a protocol for converting domain names into IP addresses, DNS can help in searching for resources on the internet.<\/p>\n DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol used to provide network configuration (such as IP Address) to devices on the network.<\/p>\n SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used to manage and monitor network devices, allowing network managers to retrieve information from monitored devices.<\/p>\n ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is a protocol for sending control and error messages in a network, including the ping command.<\/p>\n Network Operating System is computer network software in the form of Windows Server, Linux which is able to facilitate network resource management, security and other services.\u00a0The Network Operating System functions to manage data traffic.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n![\"Computer](\"https:\/\/it.telkomuniversity.ac.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Komponen-Jaringan-Komputer-1-1024x681.jpg\" "\\"Computer")
