Chabot College ELEC 99.05 Network Devices
Network Devices • Every type of network device was developed to solve a problem. • Network devices operate at different layers of the OSI model. • Are represented by Cisco icons.
Repeater • Problem: On a long wire, signal gets weak. • Function: to strengthen signal & extend it to a new media segment. • Layer 1 device - works with bits. • Animation
Hub • Problem: workgroups need shared access to printers, files, etc. • Function: to provide concentrated connections for workgroups. • Hub is a multi-port repeater. • Layer 1 device - works with bits. • Animation
Bridge • Problem: too much traffic jams network. • Function: to segment traffic and contain traffic jams. • Layer 2 device - works with MAC addresses.
Switch • Problem: shared access often results in traffic jams. • Function: to concentrate connections & segment traffic. • Combines advantages of hub & bridge. • Switch is a multi-port bridge. • Layer 2 device - works with MAC addresses.
Router • Problem: How to find network path from Hayward to New York. • Function: to direct traffic over multiple paths. • Also: • to contain traffic jams • to connect different network topologies • Layer 3 device - works with IP addresses. • Animation
