NETWOKING DEVICES
- RUPALI PARDESHI
Computer networking devices are units
that mediate data in computer network
Network equipment, intermediate
systems (IS) or interworking unit
(IWU).
Function of networking devices
Separating (connecting)networks or
expanding network
e.g. repeater, hubs,
bringes,router,brouter,swiches
,gateways etc.
Remote access
e.g. 56k modem & ADSL modems.
Networking devices are follows :-
Repeaters
Routers
Switches
Bridges
Hubs
Limitations and features
Cannot link unlike segments.
Cannot join segments with different access
methods (e.g. CSMA/c d &token passing).
Do not isolate & filter packets .
Can connect different types of media.
The mot eco way of expanding networks.
REPEATERS & HUBS
Repeaters &hubs works at the osi
physical layer to regenerate the networks
signal & resend them to other segments.
Primitive hubs can be viewed as a
multiport repeater.
It regenerate data& broadcasts them to
all port.
Advantages & disadvantage of
REPEATER
Advantages:-
Repeater can regenerate the desire information
They can reduced the noise effect.
They can extend
Disadvantages:-
A repeater can not connect two LAN.
It only connect to segment of LAN.
Repeater & hub
ROUTERS
Layers 2 switches can not take
advantage of multiple paths.
Router works at the OSI Layer 3
(network layer).
They use the ”logical address” of
packets and routing tables to determine
the best path for data delivery.
How routers works?
As packets are passed from router data link
layer source and destination addresses are
stripped off and hen recreated.
Enables a router to route a packet form a
tcp/ip ethernet n\w s to tcp/ ip token ring
network.
Only packets with known network address
will the passed- hence reduce traffic.
Routes can listen to a network and identify
busiest path.
TYPES OF ROUTER
STATIC ROUTER DYNAMIC ROUTER

route. 2. Can select the best route.
3 .More secure. 3. Need manual
configuration to improve
security.

SWITCHES
Switches operate at the data link layer(layer2)
of the OSI model.
Can interpret address information.
Switches resemble bridges and can be
considered as multiport bridges.
By having multiport can better use limited
bandwidth and prove more cost-effective
than bridges.
Switches divide the a networks into several
isolated channels.
Switches & bridges
ADVANTAGES OF SWITCHES
Reduce the possibility of collision .
Collision only occurs when two devices try to
get occurs to one channel.
Each channel has its own network capacity
suitable for real-time application (e g video
conferencing).
Since isolate, hence secure
data will only go to the destination but not
others.
BRIDGES
bridges connect network segment.
They are used to increase the maximum
possible size of the network.
The bridges read the physical location of the
source and destination computer from
address.
A bridges selectively determines the
appropriate segment to which it should pass
the signals.
GATEWAY
Gateway comprise of software dedicated
Network or combination of both.
A gateway is a device that can interpret & translate
the different protocol that are used on two distinct
network, gateway operates in on 7 layer of osi
Networks model.
A gateway can actually converted the data so that it
works with an application on a computer on the
other side of the gateway.
