Essay about Physical Network Layer Concepts

A network interface card is already present in the computers. The purpose of the network card is to enable the computers to connect together using a protocol in order to transfer packets of data. In order to connect the computers, a form of connection is required that links the computers. In this case the form of connection used will be ethernet (Science - Opposing Views, 2014).

According to (Burke, 2004),A switch is a multiport bridge. When a switch receives a frame (A data packet with address and other protocol information embedded), it amplifies the signal, looks at the MAC address to determine which port should retransmit the frame to get it to the intended network device and sends it to that port. The switch can be configured to disconnect any attached device, to discard frames intended for an attached device, to send frames with a specific hardware address to another hardware address instead and to copy a frame to a mirror port which can send it to an attached traffic monitor.

The definition of a switch or network switch is a small device that joins multiple computers together, working on layer two of the OSI, to form a local

The proposed network is designed for the UMUC new building in Rockville. This new building will have some administrative offices, lecture rooms, library, and computer labs with an open Wi-Fi. This new building will have total six computer labs that will be used for instruction. Each of these labs will have 25 computers, 23 student computers and one instructor computer, one server in the closet and in addition to the six computer labs, there will also be a Student Computer Lab that will provide computer access to students for doing their own purpose like homework. In Student Computer Lab there will be 30 computers and a server in the closet. There will be 10 computers for student’s use and 5 computers for Library staff in the library so they can access to the library resources for staff use, with the exception of the admissions office, which will have five computers. There will be six class room which will have a computer for instructor’s use. Finally, there will be 7 offices in the building and each of these offices will have one computer. There will be two server rooms, one on the first floor and another one on the second floor. There should be at least 3 separate networks: Administrative, Instructional, and Public. All staff-accessed computers will be on the
