 WHAT ARE NETWORK
DEVICES
Network devices are components
used to connect computers or
other electronic devices together
so that they can share files or
resources. These are physical
devices that are required for
communication and interaction
between hardware on a computer
network.

 HUB
Hub is a networking device that
receives a signal from the source,
amplifies it and sends it to
multiple destinations or
computers. Practically, a hub is a
small box in a rectangular shape
that may contain a minimum
amount of 4 ports and it can have
up to 24 ports for connecting
various devices and peripherals to
it.

 TYPES OF HUB
• ACTIVE HUB
An active hub not only connect
network devices but also amplifies or
regenerates the signal before
sending it to other devices. This
helps in maintaining signal strength,
especially over long distances. Active
hub requires an external power
source and are useful for extending
the reach of a network by ensuring
strong signal transmission.

 ACTIVE HUB
KEY FEATURES
• Amplifies or regenerate signals
• Requires power to operate
• Suitable for large networks where
signals may weaken

 TYPES OF HUB
• PASSIVE HUB
A passive hub simply connects
devices within a network without
amplifying or regenerating the
signals. It acts as conduit through
which data passes without altering
the signal. Because it doesn’t boost
the signal, passive hub are typically
used in small networks where
devices are located close to each
other.

 PASSIVE HUB
KEY FEATURES
• Doesn’t amplify signals
• No external power required
• Used in small networks with
short distances between devices

 TYPES OF HUB
• INTELLIGENT (SMART HUB)
An intelligent hub, also known as a
smart hub, offers additional features
like network management and
diagnostics. It can monitor traffic and
detect problems within the network.
This type of hub is often used in larger,
more complex networks where
monitoring is essential.

KEY FEATURES
• Monitors network traffic and
performance
• Offers management and
diagnostic tools
• Suitable for larger networks that
require network management

 SWITCH
A switch (also called a switching hub, or
bridging hub) is a computer networking
device that connects devices together on a
computer network by using packet
switching to receive, process, and forward
data to the destination device. Unlike
network hubs, a network switch has a more
intelligent role than a hub. It forwards data
only to one or multiple devices that need to
receive it rather than broadcasting the
same data out of each of its ports.
Generally, switches can read the hardware
addresses of incoming packets to transmit
them to the appropriate destination.

 SWITCH
Each device connected to a switch port
can transfer data to any other ones at a
time, and the transmission will not
interfere with the limitation that, in half
duplex mode, each switch port can only
either receive from or transmit to its
connected device at a certain time. In full
duplex mode, each switch port can
simultaneously transmit and receive
assuming the connected device also
supports full duplex mode

 DATA TRANSMISSION
• HALF DUPLEX MODE
In half duplex mode, data transmission
can occur in both directions, but not
simultaneously. This means that while
one device is sending data, the other
device has to wait until the transmission
is complete befor it can respond. This is
similar to a walkie-talkie where only one
person can speak at a time.
Example: Ethernet hubs and traditional
wireless networks often use half-duplex

 DATA TRANSMISSION
• FULL-DUPLEX MODE
In full-duplex mode, data can be
transmitted in both directions
simultaneously. This allows for faster
and more efficient communication
between devices, similar top a phone call
where both parties can talk and listen at
the same time.
Example: Most modern Ethernet
switches and devices as well as fiber
optic communication.

 ROUTER
A router is a networking device that
forwards data packets between
computer networks. It performs traffic-
directing functions on the Internet. A
data packet is typically forwarded from
one router to another through the
networks that constitute the
internetwork until it reaches the
destination node.

PRELIMINARY NEXT PAGE

 PLANE
Two stages of router operation
• CONTROL PLANE (ROUTING PLANE)
A router maintains a rouiting table that
lists which route should be uised to
forward a data packet, through which
physical interface connection
• FORWARDING PLANE
The router forwards data packets
between incoming and outgoing
interface connections. It routes them to
the correct network type using
information that the packet header
contains.

 BRIDGE
• A network bridge, also known
as an Ethernet bridge,
connectst two segments of a
network together.
• The segments are not
independent entities, but are
owned and managed by the
same organization.
• The purpose of the bridge is to
devide a network into
manageable sections.
PRELIMINARY NEXT PAGE
 BROUTER
• A bridge router or brouter is a
network device that works as a
bridge and as a router.
• It routes packets for known
protocols and simply forwards
all other packets as a bridge
would
• It is used as connecting device
in the networking system, so it
acts as a bridge in a network
and as a router in an
internetwork
PRELIMINARY NEXT PAGE
 GATEWAY
• A gateway is a passage to
connect two networks
together that may work upon
different network models.
They basically works as
messenger agents that take
data from one system,
interpret it, and transfer it to
another system
• Gateways are also called
protocol converters
PRELIMINARY NEXT PAGE
 MODEM
• Modem(Modulator-
demoduator) is used to
trasmit digital signal over
analog telephone lines. The
digital signal is converted into
analog signal of different
frequencfies and transmitted
at the receiving location

PRELIMINARY NEXT PAGE

 ACCESS POINT
• Involve either a wired or
wireless connection, it
commonly means a wireless
device.
• It works at second OSI Layer, the
data link layer and it can
operate either as a bridge
connecting a standard wired
network to wireless device or as
a router passing data
transmission from one access
point to another
PRELIMINARY NEXT PAGE
 REPEATER
• Repeaters are used to extend
transmission so that the
signal can cover the longer
distance or be received on the
other side of an obstruction.
