Base of computer networking
When we start to learn about computer networking, understanding how switches and routers work is the first step. Networks function, connecting computers with other devices such as switches and routers. Switches and routers make communication between connected devices on one network or different networks possible or. Routers and switches have different functions..
Base of networks: Switches
Switches are used to connect multiple devices on the same network within a building or campus. For example, a switch can connect your computers, printers, and servers, creating a network of shared resources. The switch, one aspect of your networking basics, would serve as a controller, allowing the various devices to share information and talk to each other. Through information sharing and resource allocation, switches save you money and increase productivity.
There are two basic types of switches to choose from as part of your networking basics: managed and unmanaged.

An unmanaged switch works out of the box and does not allow you to make changes. Home networking equipment typically includes unmanaged switches.

A managed switch can be accessed and programmed. This capability provides greater network flexibility because the switch can be monitored and adjusted locally or remotely. With a managed switch, you have control over network traffic and network access.

Network: Routers

Routers, the second valuable component of your networking basics, are used to connect multiple networks together. For example, you would use a router to connect your networked computers to the Internet and thereby share an Internet connection among many users. The router will act as a dispatcher, choosing the best route for your information to travel so that you receive it quickly.

Routers analyze the data being sent over a network, change how it is packaged, and send it to another network or to a different type of network. They connect your business to the outside world, protect your information from security threats, and can even decide which computers get priority over others.

Depending on your business and your networking plans, you can choose from routers that include different capabilities. These can include networking basics such as:

• Firewall: Specialized software that examines incoming data and protects your business network against attacks.
• Virtual private network (VPN): A way to allow remote employees to safely access your network.
• IP phone network: Combines your company’s computer and telephone network, using voice and conferencing technology, to simplify and unify your communications.

else, we prefer to be with friends and other people.

We all have learned through endless videos and articles online and also experienced the boredom that comes from loneliness that makes us want to give up, and ultimately leads to our failure. However, we also see that as we group together and make friends and make a bigger network of people, we end up having more fun in the position we have been placed in. Through the energy that comes from being in these social groups, we learn more of the content, and we learn to enjoy our work.

What comes to mind when you don’t understand an explanation in an online

video, where you can’t find someone to give you a clearer interpretation? Videos like this, even in the replay give no extra help, no matter how many times you look back over it. This is what makes having an instructor so nice; when you don’t understand something that is taught, you can ask questions and get personal feedback in ways that will make sense to you, allowing you to fully understand the subject.

At Tirana Center of Technology, you will not find traditional classes but only those tailored for your unimaginably complex mind.

***Alone is a default in this life, it’s a given, you need not do anything while a good time together is priceless.

Life is the most dear thing that we could ever possess and there is no way that I  can entrust all the success and well-being that I have experienced in my life to someone else. Therefore, neither can I blame the whole system my whole life for its unpreparedness when I was unwilling to push myself just a little bit further. It is very easy just to do the absolute minimum, but the happy man is the mature man, not him who waits and waits for something to happen. The newcomer may not see how much work has been suffered through because fatigue is witnessed only during a public success.
Do you see how cunning, how determined, how voracious, how eager, how alert and how much more knowledgable are those who do the most for society?
Why should we wait for others to do what we want? Work for what interests you and invest yourself in it!
It will become one of your most valuable investments in your life!
A good night’s rest is much more appreciated after a hard day’s work, or a healthy hope for tomorrow.
Get all of this from Tirana Center of Technology (TCT): get renewed strength for your life, prepare yourself for a future in Information Technology. Practice is more beautiful than theory: you learn more; and when you work in a group, your satisfaction will be multiplied.
We have the best facilities: a wonderful location, modern and comfortable computer labs, instructors who are experienced in their field, Cisco switches, routers and Linux and Windows servers.
