This unit provides a comprehensive overview of Networking Fundamentals, focusing on how data travels across both Local Area Networks (LAN) and Wide Area Networks (WAN). It covers both the physical hardware, such as switches, routers, and cabling types, as well as the logical systems involving IP addressing and subnetting for efficient data routing and security. The course is designed to equip students with essential networking knowledge, including the differences between network types, the functions of various devices, and the importance of subnetting for controlling broadcast traffic. Activities, including vocabulary matching and practical applications, reinforce the key concepts, while a case study allows students to apply their understanding in real-world scenarios.
