NIC & Switch Hub

A network interface card (NIC) connects a computer to a computer network. It translates computer data into electrical signals that are compatible with the network, allowing computers to reliably exchange information. Key aspects of the NIC include the type of port (e.g. Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet), connection speed (e.g. 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps), and physical connector (e.g. RJ45, BNC). The MAC address is a unique hardware identifier for the NIC that allows for identification on the network.

NETWORK INTERFACE CARD

A network interface controller (NIC, also


known as a network interface card, network
adapter, LAN adapter or
physical network interface, and by similar
terms) is a computer hardware component
that connects a computer to a
computer network.

A network interface card connects your computer to a
local data network or the Internet. The card translates
computer data into electrical signals it sends through the
network; the signals are compatible with the network so
computers can reliably exchange information.
 MAC Stands for Media Access Control also called
Physical Address or Hardware Address.
 It is Inbuilt in All Desktop
PC,Laptop,Router,Switch,Cell Phone,TAB etc.,
 It is a 48bit Address
 Represented in Hexa-Decimal Value
 Ex:f2-a4-b3-c9-cd-9c
 A MAC address is a hardware identification number
that uniquely identifies each device on a network. ...
For this reason, MAC addresses are made up of six
two-digit hexadecimal numbers, separated by : or -.

 PXE - Pre-Boot Execution Environment
 It allows a workstation to boot from a server

on a network prior to booting the operating


system on the local hard drive. A PXE-
enabled workstation connects its NIC to the
LAN via a jumper, which keeps the
workstation connected to the network even
when the power is off.
