Part 17- Network Bridge (Networking Devices)- Computer Networking- CCNA

hello friends .. i am Vasu Birla and today we will discuss about the another network device that is Network Bridge.

Network Bridge 

Network Bridge is a device which is used to get connect multiple network segments. And it is capable to filter data traffic on the base of MAC(Media Access Control) address. This device works on Layer 2 of OSI Model.

The Main function of Bridge is to reduce the amount of data traffic in the network by the dividing of LAN into multiple segments.

WHY Network Bridge was needed ? 


Look at above picture ,  suppose there is a Local area network and using bus topology or Ethernet devices are connected with it.  now look in picture there are 8 computers .  suppose if computer 1 is want to communicate or transfer data computer 4, so he will send data but problem was that , all remaining computer get the same data , number 4 computer will receive data and all computer would drop the data so it would create a unwanted data traffic and it may cause a slow speed of data or may be shut the Network. so because of this problem bridge is used to reduce the unnecessary data traffic.

How does bridge work ?? 



Look at above picture , there is a Network in which a Network bridge is used , suppose computer 1 does want to send data computer 4 , so data will be sent to only computers those are in a single segments , because there is bridge which does not allow to pass data in another segment until data is to be sent in another segment. if Computer 1 wants to send data to computer 7 so bridge will allow data to pass through the bridge otherwise data will be filter.

How Data Frames are filtered ?? 

As we know each data frame contain a Source MAC address and Destination MAC address.
 So Network bridge makes a table in which port numbers are there. 

In above picture there is two ports of bridge  Port Number 1 and 2.  and suppose computer 1 is A... Computer 2 is B , Computer 3 is C and Computer 4 is D ....like wise Computer 5,6,7,8 are  E, F, G, H.

Now read care fully 

Network Bridge makes a Table stored in it's buffer  in which Port 1 of bridge contain MAC address of  Computer A ,B, C, D
and Port 2 of Bridge Contain MAC address of Computer E, F, G, H.

now this network bridge has a information about ports and their computers on the base of MAC address.

Computer A send Data to Computer D  so .. data will go to all B  C and D data but on the basis of MAC destination address only D will receive the data and B and C will dropout the data.  as well Bridge will also drop the data at port 1 because the destination is not in port 2 segment.


So it is clear that Bridge can easily divide the LAN into multiple segments and reduce the data traffic so that hosts can get good speed of data.

GitHub Repo Collaboration Work on single project

 =============================================== To collaborate effectively with your friend on the same project, you should use Git branches to manage different lines of development. Here's a step-by-step procedure you can follow to streamline collaboration: 1. Create Separate Branches for Each Developer Create a New Branch for Your Friend: On your local repository, create a new branch for your friend. For example if your friend name is kilvish , if you want to create a branch named kilvish , you would run: make sure you would be on main branch already   command->  git checkout -b kilvish git push origin kilvish 2. Set Up Your Friend’s Environment( On your Friend's System )  at kilvish side  run ->  Clone the Repository (if not already done): If your friend hasn’t cloned the repository yet, they should do so: command ->  git clone https://github.com/Vasu-Birla/your-repo.git   // your your main clone line  Fetch All Bran...

How to deploy NodeJS app on server with Apache2 and acess it with Server IP addresss - Node JS deploy project Live.

     hello friens , This is Vasu Birla , in previous post we have seen the deployement of NodeJS app on AWS instance server instance but AWS server is expensive than other servers . SO today we will use simple Ubuntu server for making Live out Project using Apache2 . At the end you will be abe to access your NodeJS app using server IP address from anywhere  .. 1.  Login to your server using SSH terminal . (in AWS part i already explained how to do this )     -> Open your putty in hostname put your server IP -      login with ssh username ->root and password     (if you dont have root username and pass ask your      provider or reset it from cpanel or hosting panel ) 2. after login - on terminal you can Put your project anywhere.     There are two ways to put your project folder on server location     (i) - > using Github - (very popular and easy to track your everyday code changes t...

Part 19- Router (Networking Devices)- Computer Networking- CCNA

Hello friends...i am Vasu Birla and today will discuss about the most important Networking Device ..Router.  so let's start... ROUTER Router is a device which connect two or more networks together, which is why router is also known is Inter-networking device also. Inter-networking means two or more networks are connected together with the help of router. one more thing router is just like a computer  but it is designed for routing only, our computer can be router also but that are software router while hardware router which are specialize for routing is more efficient and fast than software router.  There is a Operating System installed on router which get moves data from one network to another network with the help of routing table.  Router does work on Network layer or Layer 3 of the OSI model.  Cisco Router There many companies which manufacture Router but main companies are - Cisco , Juniper , HP, 3com and Nortel  ...
