    EXPERIMENT-3

    Ex. No. 3. Install and configure Network Devices: HUB, Switch, and Routers.

    Aim:
    To Install and configure Network Devices HUB, Switch, and Routers PCs are interfaced using
    connectivity devices.

    Principle:

    1. Repeater: Functioning at the Physical Layer. A repeater is an electronic device that receives a
    signal and retransmits it at a higher level and higher power, or onto the other side of an
    obstruction so that the signal can cover longer distances. Repeaters have two ports, so cannot be
    used to connect more than two devices.

    2. Hub: An Ethernet hub, active hub, network hub, repeater hub, hub or concentrator
    is a device for connecting multiple twisted pairs of fiber optic Ethernet devices and making them
    act as a single network segment. Hubs work at the physical layer (layer 1) of the OSI model. The
    device is a form of multiport repeater. Repeater hubs also participate in collision detection,
    forwarding a jam signal to all ports if it detects a collision.

    3. Switch: A network switch or switching hub is a computer networking device that connects
    network segments. The term commonly refers to a network bridge that processes and routes data
    at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. Switches that additionally process data at the
    network layer (layer 3 and above) are often referred to as Layer 3 switches or multilayer switches.

    4. Bridge: A network bridge connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (Layer 2) of
    the OSI model. In Ethernet networks, the term bridge formally means a device that behaves
    according to the IEEE 802.1D standard. A bridge and a switch are very much alike; a switch is a
    bridge with numerous ports. Switch or Layer 2 switch is often used interchangeably with bridge.
    Bridges can analyze incoming data packets to determine if the bridge can send the given packet to
    another segment of the network.

    5. Router: A router is an electronic device that interconnects two or more computer networks,
    and selectively interchanges packets of data between them. Each data packet contains address
    information that a router can use to determine if the source and destination are on the same
    network, or if the data packet must be transferred from one network to another. Where multiple
    routers are used in a large collection of interconnected networks, the routers exchange
    information about target system addresses, so that each router can build up a table showing the
    preferred paths between any two systems on the interconnected networks.

    6. Gateway: In a communications network, a network node is equipped for interfacing with


    another network that uses different protocols.
    • A gateway may contain devices such as protocol translators, impedance matching devices, rate
    converters, fault isolators, or signal translators as necessary to provide system interoperability. It
    also requires the establishment of mutually acceptable administrative procedures between both
    networks.
    • A protocol translation/mapping gateway interconnects networks with different network
    protocol technologies by performing the required protocol conversions.

    Procedure:

    Result:
    Thus, installed and configured Network Devices PCs are interfaced using connectivity devices –
    Hub, router, and switch have been done successfully.
