Network architectures refer to the overall design and layout of a network, including how devices and components are organized and interconnected. In this course, explore wireless and wired networking standards, the features of key satellite and cellular technologies, and the differences between various types of wired transmission media. Next, compare Ethernet and fibre channel (FC) transceiver protocols and the differences between common network connector types. Finally, learn about common network topologies, architectures, and types, as well as use cases for a collapsed core architecture and network traffic flow. This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) certification exam.
