Hub
• Data is sent to all the machines in the network at the
same time(broadcasting).
• This generates more traffic. So the communication is
much slower.
• Destination is data is detected by the computers by
machine IP and the MAC address.
• Data communication is half duplex.
• To connect a hub to another hub you must use a hub
with a uplink port.
Switch
• Data is sent only to the requested destinations
(forwarding).
• This reduces traffic so communication is much
faster.
• Data communication is full duplex(can receive
and send at the same time).
• Destination of data is decided by the switch itself
by keeping all MAC addresses in its temporary
memory.
• Can connect any numbers of switches without
using a special port or device.
• No server to control the network.
• Less security, restrictions and control.
• No centralized user management or
administrator.
• Administrator must visit each to perform any
configurations or management tasks.
• The domain controller control the network.
• More security, restrictions and control.
• A centralized user management and
administrator.
• The administrator performs all the tasks
through the domain control.

Public

• Addresses which are
reserved for local area
networks/ Intranets.
• These addresses freely
assigned for our privet
networks.

• Addresses which are
reserved for Wide area
networks/ Internet. You
must buy this addresses
from Internet Service
Providers(ISP) or from any
internet authority.
IP Types
Dynamic IPs
• Addresses which are
automatically assign by a
Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) service.
These addresses are
randomly assigned and they
changed frequently.

Static IPs
• Addresses which are
manually assigned in the
properties of TCP/IP
protocol by the
administrator. These
addresses will not changed
unless we changed them.
• DHCP allows to automatically assign IP addresses,
subnet masks and other configuration information to
client computers on the local network.
Domain Name System ( DNS )
• DNS is a system for naming computers and network
services that maps those names to network
addresses and organizes them into a hierarchy of
domains.
