As we have already discussed about NIC in our previous blog if you have not read it fire go for it then after you can continue with the type of NIC, to get to know about NIC click on what is NIC.


NIC means network interface card (NIC) and it is a hardware component without which a computer cannot be connected over a network.


What are the types of NIC? Explain Advantages and Disadvantages of NIC

First we are going to understand about the types of Network Interface Card


Types of NIC card


  • Internal Network Card

  • External Network Card



Internal Network Cards


In internal networks cards, motherboard has a slot for the network card where it can be inserted. It requires network cables to provide network access. Internal network cards are of two types. The first type uses Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) connection, while the second type uses Industry Standard Architecture (ISA).


External Network Cards


In desktops and laptops that do not have an internal NIC, external NICs are used. External network cards are of two types: Wireless and USB based. Wireless network card needs to be inserted into the motherboard, however no network cable is required to connect to the network. They are useful while traveling or accessing a wireless signal.


Here I am presenting a Diagram of  NIC


What are the types of NIC? Explain Advantages and Disadvantages of NIC

Now following are the Advantages and Disadvantages of NIC



Advantages of NIC


  • The communication speed utilizing the Web is high ordinarily in Gigabytes.

  • Highly dependable connection.

  • Many peripheral gadgets can be associated with utilizing numerous ports of NIC cards.

  • Bulk information can be shared among numerous clients.



Disadvantages of NIC


  • Badly arranged in case of wired cable NIC, because it isn’t versatile like a remote router

  • The arrangement ought to be appropriate for superior communication.

  • Data is unsecured.

What is STP? - Explain Advantages and Disadvantages

The Spanning Tree Protocol is a network protocol that builds a loop-free logical topology for Ethernet networks. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them. STP is a protocol. It actively monitors all links of the network. To finds a redundant link, it uses an algorithm, known as the STA (spanning-tree algorithm). The STA algorithm first creates a topology database then it finds and disables the redundant links. Once redundant links are disabled, only the STP-chosen links remain active. If a new link is added or an existing link is removed, the STP re-runs the STA algorithm and re-adjusts all links to reflect the change. STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) automatically removes layer 2 switching loops by shutting down the redundant links. A redundant link is an additional link between two switches. A redundant link is usually created for backup purposes. Just like every coin has two sides, a redundant link, along with...
