Different types of Networking device and its function
What is networking device?
It’s a physical device that is required for communication and interaction
between hardware on a computer network.
Most of the Networking device is used to amplify signals so the transmission of data
can exceed on larger distance.
What is the purpose of networking device?
1. First, they allow a greater number of nodes to be connected to the network
2. Second, they extend the distance over which a network can extend.
3. Third, they can merge existing networks.
4. Lastly, they isolate network problems so that they can be diagnosed more easily.
Types of networking device
1. NIC (Network Interface Card
2. Hub
3. Switch
4. Router
5. Bridge
6. Modem
7. Repeater
Network Interface Card (NIC)
It is a circuit board installed in a computer that provides a dedicated network
connection to the computer.
It is also called network interface controller, network adapter or LAN adapter.
What is the purpose of NIC?
NIC allows both wired and wireless communications.
NIC allows communications between computers connected via local area network
(LAN) as well as communications over large-scale network through Internet Protocol
(IP).
It provides the necessary hardware circuitry so that the physical layer processes and
some data link layer processes can run on it.
There are two types of NIC.
1. Internal NIC
2. External NIC
Internal NIC - In internal networks cards, motherboard has a slot for the network card
where it can be inserted. It requires network cables to provide network access.
External NIC - In desktops and laptops that do not have an internal NIC, external NICs are
used. External network cards are of two types: Wireless and USB based
Hub
Hubs connect multiple computer networking devices together.
A hub also acts as a repeater in that it amplifies signals that deteriorate after
traveling long distances over connecting cables.
How does a hub work?
Hubs do not perform packet filtering or addressing functions; they just send
data packets to all connected devices.
Usually it operates at the Physical LAYER of OSI model.
Switch
A switch is a multi-port device that improves network efficiency.
The switch maintains limited routing information about nodes in the internal network,
and it allows connections to systems like hubs or routers.
How does a switch work?
A switch can work at either the Data Link layer or the Network layer of the
OSI model
A multi-layer switch is one that can operate at both layers, which means that it can
operate as both a switch and a router.
Router
Routers help transmit packets to their destinations by charting a path through the
sea of interconnected networking devices using different network topologies.
Routers are intelligent devices, and they store information about the networks they’re
connected to.
How does a router work?
Most routers can be configured to operate as packet-filtering firewalls and
use access control lists (ACLs).
Routers can also be connected internally to other routers, creating zones that
operate independently. Routers establish communication by maintaining tables
about destinations and local connections.
Bridges
Bridges are used to connect two or more hosts or network segments together.
The basic role of bridges in network architecture is storing and forwarding frames
between the different segments that the bridge connects.
How do Bridges work?
They use hardware Media Access Control (MAC) addresses for transferring frames.
By looking at the MAC address of the devices connected to each segment, bridges
can forward the data or block it from crossing.
Modem
It is a hardware component that allows a computer or another device, such as
a router or switch, to connect to the Internet.
Modems (modulators-demodulators) are used to transmit digital signals over analog
telephone lines.
Repeater
It’s an electronic device that amplifies the signal it receives. Repeaters work on the Physical
layer. In a data network, a repeater can relay messages between sub networks that use
different protocols or cable types.
