Network

Introduction

In this section, I share articles covering a variety of networking topics and technologies. The content is organized by subject, with topics ranging from networking fundamentals to practical configurations, troubleshooting, and real-world scenarios. 

Network Hardware Draft

When I started learning computer networking and IT, I noticed that most courses focused on technologies, software, and services provided by major vendors. However, they rarely covered the physical hardware commonly found in server rooms, network racks, offices, and enterprise environments.

To address this gap, I started collecting the names of networking and IT hardware mentioned during my courses and researching additional devices and equipment online. Over time, I built a list of commonly used hardware and created a draft to help me become familiar with these devices, understand their basic functions, and recognize how they are used in real-world environments.

Later, with the availability of AI assistants, I could explore these devices in more detail by asking questions about their functions, applications, and relationships with other components.

This draft helped me feel more confident when I started working in real environments and encountered equipment I had never seen before. I decided to share it for people who are new to networking and IT administration and want to build a basic understanding of the physical equipment they may encounter in server rooms, racks, and offices.

The draft is intended as an introductory reference rather than a comprehensive technical guide. If you want to learn more about a specific device, you can search for its name on platforms such as YouTube and explore detailed demonstrations and explanations.
