Basics of Switching & Networking Using CISCO Packet Tracer

This document discusses basic networking devices such as hubs, switches, routers, bridges, and repeaters. It provides examples of how hubs and switches operate when sending messages between devices. Hubs broadcast messages to all ports, while switches examine destination addresses and send frames only to the targeted port(s). The document notes that switches are now preferred over hubs due to reducing unnecessary traffic and improving security. Routers connect multiple switches and their networks, using routing tables and techniques like NAT. Overall, the document provides a high-level overview of common networking devices and how they function to send data within local and wide-area networks.

HOW A HUB SENDS A MESSAGE ? A

Let us suppose that Device A sends a


message to Device C or vice versa.
How a hub will send a message from
one device to another device ? D B
Send message to every device and
then also receive the reply on every
device

HUBS
A hub is a physical layer networking device
which is used to connect multiple devices in a
network. They are generally used to connect
computers in a LAN (Local Area Network).
A hub has many ports in it. A computer which
intends to be connected to the network is
plugged in to one of these ports. When a data
frame arrives at a port, it is broadcast to every
other port, without considering whether it is
destined for a particular destination or not.
WHY HUBS ARE NOT USED NOWADAYS ?
1. Unnecessary Traffic
2. What will happen to the security of information ?

HOW A SWITCHES SENDS A MESSAGE ?
A
Let us suppose that Device A sends a
message to Device C or vice versa.
How a switches will send a message
from one device to another device ?
D B
Initially broadcast message to every
device then maintain a switch table
after that.

SWITCHES
A switch is a data link layer networking device
which connects devices in a network and uses
packet switching to send and receive data
over the network.
Like a hub, a switch also has many ports, to
which computers are plugged in. However,
when a data frame arrives at any port of a
network switch, it examines the destination
address and sends the frame to the
corresponding device(s). Thus, it supports both
unicast and multicast communications.
USE OF SWITCH TABLE .
/ Interface

1. MAC : Media Access Control address (Physical Address)


2. NIC : Network interface controller

A MAC address is unique identifier assigned to a NIC.


ROUTERS
03
WORK OF ROUTERS .
1. Connecting network to
another network . How ?
2. NAT (Network Address
Translation)
3. Router uses routing table
4. IP address in mainly used in
case of routers
