  1. Basic Networking Components David Ingles

  2. Basic parts of the network • Hub • Switch • Router • Bridge • Gateway • Firewall • Wireless AP

  3. Network Hubs • Hubs sends data from one computer to all other computers on a network • Operates on Layer 1 of OSI model • Acts as a “repeater” for signal passing through • Declining in use in favor of switches and routers

  4. Switches • Relays traffic using Layer 2 address • Contains software that supports building of routing tables • Substantial improvement over Hubs • Used to join multiple computers to a LAN

  5. Bridges • Similar to a switch in function • Used to combine two or more independent networks into a single unit • Usually associated with LAN device using MAC addresses • Operates on OSI layers 1 and 2

  6. Routers • More powerful than hubs, switches, or bridges • Principal operations at OSI layer 3 with IP Addresses • Often configured as Firewalls • Utilize extensive network management features • Can be configured to operate as Bridges • Used to connect multiple computers together as a LAN and provide connection to WAN

  7. Wireless Access Points • Connects wired and wireless networks • Operates at IEEE 802.11 specifcations • Many Routers have WAP features integrated into them • Used to connect wireless devices to a network

  8. Gateways • Network node used to interface with networks using other protocols • Can operate at any network level • Serves as access point to another network • Usually integrated into other hardware

  9. Firewalls • Protects computers from unauthorized access • Hardware or software-based • Often integrated into Routers or switches

  10. How it all connects

  11. Price Ranges • Hubs- $15- $1000 • Switches $50-$100,000 • Bridges $20-$4000 • Routers $10- $1500 • WAPs $10- $4000 • Gateways $10-$12000 • Firewalls $150- $200,000 for hardware • $20-$500 for software
