Computer šŸ–„ šŸ’» Networking

Welcome to my blog dear friend, in some of my previous blog posts, I talked about, I also talked about farming. These are things that can make someone self-dependent.

Today, Iā€™ll like us to talk about ICT_Networking. This topic is not something that may end today, reason is that Iā€™m a type that takes things bit by bit. But I assure you that youā€™ll learn a lot after this comprehensive tutorial.

What is computer networking:

In a simple way, computer networking is an act of linking computers so that users can exchange information or share access to a central store of information.

Two computers for our tutorial

The above laptops will serve as our practical tools throughout this tutorial series. Both laptops are mine; one is Dell Laptop while the other is HP Laptop.

Who can do computer networking?

The answer is you. Anyone can network computers, you must not study Computer Science and Engineering to become an ICT person. Little informal education as this can put you through.

If I become ICT inclined, who will need my services and how much can I earn?

Our fatherā€™s used to say that theyā€™re the Jet age, but now, we are saying that weā€™re the computer age, meaning that everyone in this age will somehow need your services if you become ICT person.

For earnings, it can creat wealth for you depending on how deep you dive in it. Youā€™ll become employable for those of you that like becoming a staff in an organization. I myself has chosen to become a consultant because I valued my time, and I love freedom.

What are tools šŸ§° that I might need for networking jobs?

Well, you need your heard and your hands, you may not need any other thing. But for clarity sake, you might also need some of the tools that Iā€™m about to show you because your clients may not provide them for you.

LAN and WAN

Before I continue on the tools, letā€™s understand the type of networking that we have, because that will determine the required tools.

LAN stand for Local Area Network, in computer science environment, it means a collection of interconnected computers that can share applications, resources such as internet, printers and data. LAN can only cover a few kilometers and mainly used in offices, homes, schools and churches as the case may be.

WAN stands for Wide Area Network. This is a computer network that can cover a wide geographical area, most times over telephone lines, satellites šŸ“” etc. unlike LAN. Banks šŸ¦ are the type of organization that operates on WAN and LAN as well.

LAN

In this series, weā€™ll dwell on LAN as it remains the closest, which we can lay hold on.

Required tools for LAN networking

Iā€™m going to group the tools into two, one are the tools that you as a technician will have with you; thatā€™s working tools. The second group are the accessories needed to establish a LAN network, in most cases theyā€™re provided by your clients.

Working tools

RJ 45 clipping tool

This is called RJ 45 clipping tool. I have them two with me here. They are used to clip cables inside cat5 and cat6 network plugs . As we go further, Iā€™ll show you how it works.

Cutter

The above tool is called a cutter, itā€™s a sharp German tool for cutting network cables.

Clipping/pealing tool

This is pealing and clipping tools, itā€™s used to peal network cables and also used to push in network cables inside RJ42 female jack.

Screwdrivers

Screwdrivers are important in networking, in my case, I went for a set that contains many types. Itā€™s used to tighten the faceplates etc.

Electric network tester

The above is very important. Itā€™s used to test the clipped cables. It uses batteries for its functions and indicating lights.

It dictates bad connections, and prove good connections as well. It has eight light indicators that represents each network cable string; white-orange, orange, white-blue, blue, white-green, green, white-brown and brown.

With these working tools mentioned above, one can establish LAN network.

This is where we will call this part to a closure. In the coming series, we will start from the accessory part of the tools needed for LAN networking, and from there we can progress to networking itself.

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial. Please subscribe to my channel and follow through the continuation of the LAN networking tutorial.

Am impressed you always try to drop things which are very relevant and important here! Which in one way or the other empowers us. I am always following through your post here. I know only about the softwares of computer and his they operate, I think networking has to do with more of hardware and little software. I am so happy I will be learning a new skill too. I haven't forgotten about my promise to post my pet, I've just been a little busy, will do that sooner than later.

Good morning! I have no idea what you have written in your article. But thanks for that useful content. You know it takes time for me to understand like your article because I'm not really good at the English language, I still have poor English comprehension. I need to read it all word by word and I just did it.

It sad to say I don't have a laptop, I can't apply your tutorial, maybe someday. This is a very big help to anyone who is interested. I read this and I can share it with my husband and my brother. Just wow! I admired also on how you made your article. Thank you.

I'm an ICT Student. I love crimping networking cable to rj45 but I really hate configuring the server in admin-client configuration

Good to know that youā€™re an ICT student. Please why do you dislike server-clients configuration?

Itā€™s all about enabling their sharing options and assigning of IPs assuming your not working with auto mapping and signing method.

I hate it but it doesn't mean I can't do it. I just hate it when I got an error especially when configuring DHCP and my client can't connect to server. Then I have to start all over againšŸ˜”. Btw thanks for the upvote
