NETWORKING Class 3 (Devices) New

This document discusses various networking devices: 1. LAN cards connect computers to a network by interfacing with the network at the physical layer of the OSI model. Hubs and switches connect multiple computers but operate differently, with switches providing more advanced features. 2. Routers connect different networks and select the path for data transmission, using various port types. They can connect both locally using Ethernet ports and over wider areas using serial or auxiliary ports. 3. Other devices discussed include repeaters for boosting signals, bridges for blocking and forwarding data at the data link layer, firewalls for network protection, and gateways for connecting differing networks or protocols.

Networking Devices

PHYSICAL part- network topology, cabling, OSI model, Network devices

LOGIC- IP addresses, Protocols.

Devices-

LAN card:

1. Local area network- it is hardware component i.e. Used to connect your computer to computer
network.
2. It is also called NIC Network interface card
3. It is placed on motherboard.
4. MAC- media access control- 48bits 1. 24 bits provided by IEEE standards, 2. 24 bits provided by
any man. Company.
5. It works on the first layer of OSI model i.e. Physical layer.

REPEATER

1. It is a hardware component that is used to boost up the signals


2. It receives a signal and retransmits it at a higher level or higher frequency.
3. They are of 2 types:
1. Analog-it amplifies the signal and boost up the signal in which signal is not regenerated.
2. Digital- it regenerates the signal and boost up as well.

HUB

1. It is a broadcasting devices or a land device.

2. It is a central device which connects computer together

3. It works on half duplex mode

4. It doesn’t understand MAC address.

5. Less security due to broadcasting.

6. Broadcasting domain is single.

Collision domain-single. (One data at a time)

6. Speed is same as the cable speed or connection speed.


7. Works on first layer of OSI.
8. No of ports is less than switch
9. Types of HUB
1.

1. Active HUB- Power is required for initiating and it detects the error. Itamplifies the data and
regenerates the data so it is also known as multiport repeater.
2. Passive HUB-doesn’t req. power, it sends data as it is.
3. Intelligent HUB- it detects the errors and corrects it up to a certain limits. It is also called
manageable HUB. Power is required.

SWITCH

1. It is a central device which Is used in the network for connecting devices .This is a LAN
device. The number of ports are more than HUB
2. Max 24 ports
3. 3. It understands the MAC address.
4. It first creates Broadcasting and then uncasing.
5. A chip is present in it which stores MAC address known as ASIC- Automatic Switch
Integrated Chip.
6. Works on Full duplex mode.
7. Broadcasting domain is single but we can manage its Security.
8. Collision domain- ‘n’ n-> number of devices connected to it.
9. VLAN- virtual LAN. Is a techniques by which we can divide domain
10. The speed of switch is double the connection speed. HIGH SECURITY than HUB.
11. Works on 2nd and 3rd layer of OSI model.
12. Types of SWITCH:
1. Based on CONFIGURATION: manageable switch and unmanageable switch
2. Manageable –in this console port is present and some methods are used to manage this
device.
3. Unmanageable–It is like a passive HUB. No console port is present.
4. Based on OSI MODEL-
a. Two layer switch- It works on frames- it works on physical and data link layer so
it works like a bridge.
b. Multilayer switch(3layer switch)- It works on data link and network layer of OSI
Model and it works like a switch as well as router
BRIDGE
1. It is a hardware component that is used to forward the data and block the data.
2. It eliminates broadcasting
3. Works on 2nd layer of OSI model

GATEWAY
1. It is an end point to exit or enter in the network
2. It is used to connect different networks or diff protocols together.
3. It can hardware or software
4. Works on all later or OSI model.
5. Sometimes router act as a gate way.
1.

FIREWALL
1. It is a hardware or software component that is used to protect your computer or device from
outer traffic

ROUTER

1. It is a wan device which connects diff network together


2. It is manageable device and it is a path selector
3. It performs routing.
4. There are four types of PORTS:
a. Serial port (ROUTER TO ROUTER) cable serial cable
b. Console port – to manage switch (Router to Port)just for the configuration
purpose- Console cable is used
c. Fast Ethernet port- is used to connect Router with any LAN device (Router to
and land device(HUB, Switch))- straight cable is used which a type of twisted
cable
d. Auxiliary Port- is used to connect Router with MODEM- straight cable is used.

5. There are 2 types of routers: Modular router and Non Modular


A. MODULAR-In this ports can be extended by introducing a card known
as WIC- wide interface card
B. NON-Modular – in these ports cannot be extended.
