Small Network Administration

This module describes the skills and knowledge required to design, configure and administer small network. The learner will be able to conduct site survey to identify network components, design network, implement physical topology, provide access to the media, apply ip addressing, subnet network, enable connection via wireless technology, implement the internet protocol to network, implement the application protocol to interact with end-user. He/she will be able to select and arrange different material equipment and tools when connecting small networks. A computer network is a group of computer systems and other computing hardware devices that are linked together through communication channels to facilitate elements communication and resource-sharing among a wide range of users. When discussing network design, it is useful to categorize networks based on the number of devices serviced: 

 ■ Small network: Provides services for up to 200 devices. 

 ■ Medium-size network: Provides services for 200 to 1,000 devices.

■ Large network: Provides services for 1,000+ devices.
