Switch, Firewall and Configuration

Switch 

A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, officially MAC bridge) is a computer networking device that connects devices together on a computer network by using packet switching to receive, process, and forward data to the destination device.

Different models of network switches support varying numbers of connected devices which are consumer-grade network switches provide either 4 or 8 connection, while corporate switches support between 32 and 128 connections. 

A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses hardware addresses to process and forward data at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model and also process data at the network layer (layer 3) by additionally incorporating routing. switch is used to create a mirror image of data that can go to an external device. Since most switch port mirroring provides only one mirrored stream, network hubs can be useful for fanning out data to several read-only analyzers, such as intrusion detection systems and packet sniffers.

Firewall

A firewall is a network security device that monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic and decides whether to allow or block specific traffic based on a defined set of security rules. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software.

Prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets and examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified security criteria.

Basic Networking

Process of prevent and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Involves the authorization of access to data in a network controlled by network administrator. Security Management For different kind of situation on home or office may require high-maintenance and advanced software and hardware to prevent malicious attacks from hacking and spamming . Types of Attack : Passive Network - wiretapping, port scanner, idle scan, encryption and etc. Active Virus Data modification - Denial-of-service attack, DNS spoofing, ARP poisoning SQL injection, phishing, sniffing and etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_security

Structured Cabling

Telecommunications cabling infrastructure that consists of a number of standardized smaller elements (hence structured) called subsystems. Design and installation of a cabling systems that will support multiple hardware uses systems and be suitable for today’s needs and those of the future.   Standards that specify wiring data centers, offices, and apartment buildings for data or voice communications using various kinds of cable, most commonly category 5e (CAT5e), category 6 (CAT6), and fiber optic cabling and modular connectors. Subsystem: Entrance facilities Equipment rooms Backbone cabling Horizontal cabling wiring Telecommunications rooms Work-area components https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_cabling
