INTRODUCTIO
N
Different networking devices have different roles to play in a

computer network. These network devices also work at different

segments of a computer network performing different works. In

our new series after network topology, we talk about different

networking devices like a switch, router, hub, bridge etc.

Networking Device

Consist of, but are not limited to non-local

printers, workstations, servers, webcams, data
loggers, instruments, dial-in devices, and, in general
anything that requires an Ethernet connection.
These devices are supported on a best-effort basis
limited by the staffing and equipment level
available.
Network Interface Card (NIC)

• A printed circuit board, an adapter that plugs into the computer’s

motherboard when connected with a network cable, provides the
physical link between your computer and the network
• Modem

• Modem is a device which converts the computer-generated digital signals of a

computer into analog signals to enable their travelling via phone lines. The ‘modulator-
demodulator’ or modem can be used as a dial up for LAN or to connect to an ISP. Modems can
be both external, as in the device which connects to the USB or the serial port of a computer,
or proprietary devices for handheld gadgets and other devices, as well as internal; in the form
of add-in expansion cards for computers and PCMCIA cards for laptops.
• Network firewall
• protects a computer network from
unauthorized access. Network firewalls
may be hardware devices, software
programs, or a combination of the two.
Network firewalls guard an internal
computer network (home, school,
business intranet) against malicious
access from the outside. Network firewalls
may also be configured to limit access to
the outside from internal users.

Network gateway
 HUB
S
Hubs enable computers on a network to
communicate. Each computer plugs into the
hub with an Ethernet cable, and information node node
sent from one computer to another passes 1 2
through the hub.
hu
A hub can't identify the source or intended b
destination of the information it receives, so it
sends the information to all of the computers
connected to it, including the one that sent it. A node
node
hub can send or receive information, but it can't 3 4
do both at the same time.
 SWITCH
Switches work the same way as hubs, but they
can identify the intended destination of the
information that they receive, so they send that
information to only the computers that are node node
1
supposed to receive it. Switches can send and 2

receive information at the same time, so they can

send information faster than hubs can. hu

BRIDG
E
A bridge is a computer
networking device that builds
the connection with the other
bridge networks which use the
same protocol. It works at the
Data Link layer of the OSI
Model and connects the
different networks together
and develops communication
between them. It connects
two local- area networks; two
physical LANs into larger
logical LAN or two segments
of the same LAN that use the
same protocol.
 ROUTER

Routers enable computers to

communicate and they can
pass information between
two networks— such as
between your home network
and the Internet.

 W IRELESS ACCESS POINT (AP OR WAP)

Access points (also called base

stations) provide wireless
access to a wired Ethernet
network. An access point plugs
into a hub, switch, or wired
router and sends out wireless
signals.
This enables computers and
devices to connect to a wired
network wirelessly.

 PATCH PANEL

A panel that allows multiple devices to be

connected and managed in a more efficient
manner. Computer networks, sound studios,
television stations, and a number of other
systems use patch panels to deal with
components of their electronic systems.

commercial and industrial building to
cleanly attach network cables. It is
commonly used in a structured
network.

 REPEATER

A network device used to regenerate or

replicate a signal. Repeaters are used in
transmission systems to regenerate
analog or digital signals distorted by
transmission loss. Analog repeaters
frequently can only amplify the signal
while digital repeaters can reconstruct a
signal to near its original quality.
