 Typical network hardware includes server, clients, routers,
switches, hubs, gateways, access points, network interface
cards, networking cables, network bridges, modems, ISDN
adapters, firewalls and other related hardware,
 When producing your coursework you need to be able to
demonstrate that you can identify the function of devices and
describe what each does.
