Bridges are networking devices that can connect 2 local area networks (LAN). A bridge can learn all of the MAC addresses on the network, and this is done during the bridges data gathering phase. Basically a bridge will receive the data and analyze the address. The bridge will then pass the data on to the correct address. The ports on a bridge are in and out, but they are smart ports with the ability to locate the address on the network. Switches are much like a bridge where they can connect networks that use the same protocols. They are used to direct traffic over multiple networks. Some switches will check …show more content…

In a small network with just file sharing a 10 Mbps NIC card would work fine, but with 24 computers in the LA office the advantages of having the faster 10/100 cards outweigh keeping the older slower cards. Karla receiving formal training would help SMPR in the future. I believe that it would make her an even greater asset to the company if she was properly trained. Her knowledge and experience would greater benefit this company. Karla has done a great job with the knowledge that she posses and if she had some formal training she could be an even greater benefit. Managing and troubleshooting a network a certain level of training that she at the moment lacks, and that is why I believe that she would benefit from some formal training. I would benefit in attending the seminar on fine-tuning Ethernet networks. This seminar would help increase my knowledge pool. Seminars are times to learn new techniques and then apply to techniques to help my network run more optimal. I believe all Techs would greatly benefit from attending these seminars for the knowledge that they gain, and possibly from the people that they meet. Gaining this knowledge would help me do my job better and also help keep the SMPR network running smoothly. Ethernet is typically the technology that is used to allow computers locally to communicate with one another. Computers that are close to each other they are connected by Ethernet.
