    Lab - My Local Network

    Objectives
     Record all the different network attached devices in your home or classroom.
     Investigate how each device connects to the network to send and receive information.
     Create a diagram showing the topology of your network.
     Label each device with its function within the network.

    Background / Scenario
    The path that a message takes from its source to destination can be as simple as a single cable connecting
    one computer to another or as complex as a network that literally spans the globe. The network infrastructure
    contains three categories of hardware components:
     End devices
     Intermediary network devices
     Network media

    Instructions
    Take a close look at the network you have at home or school. Record the network and end-user devices that
    are connected on the local network.

    Reflection
    1. Are there other electronic devices that are not connected to the local network to share information or
    resources? What would be the benefit of having these devices online?
    Network Attached Storage can provide extra local or back up storage and allow users to share their
    files in a central location. Home Security cameras can be connected to the network so you can have
    access to the information remotely.
    2. Which type of connectivity is used most frequently in your local network, wired or wireless?
    If most of your devices are connected via Ethernet cables, then you would be using wired connection
    more frequently. However, if most of your devices are more mobile, such as tablets, smartphones,
    laptops, you probably use the wireless connection more often.
