Introduction to LAN
This module introduced various LAN topologies—star, bus, and ring—along with their advantages and disadvantages. I also got a brief overview of switches and routers and their roles in network communication. Then, I dived into subnetting, which involves dividing a network into smaller subnetworks, learning how subnets utilize IP addresses and their benefits.
Additionally, I explored the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), which helps devices identify themselves on a network. Finally, I covered the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and its four-step process for assigning IP addresses to devices.
