NETWORK DEVICES
---------Important definitions --------

1. Router: A router is a networking device that connects multiple networks and forwards data
packets between them. It determines the best path for data transmission based on routing
protocols and network conditions.

2. Switch: A switch is a device that connects multiple devices within a local area network
(LAN). It receives data packets and forwards them to the intended device based on the
destination MAC address.

3. Hub: A hub is a basic networking device that connects multiple devices in a network,
allowing them to communicate with each other. However, unlike switches, hubs do not
perform any intelligent data forwarding and simply broadcast incoming data to all connected
devices.

4. Modem: A modem is a device that allows computers to connect to the internet by


converting digital signals from the computer into analog signals for transmission over
telephone or cable lines, and vice versa.
5. Network Interface Card (NIC): A network interface card, also known as a network adapter,
is a hardware component that enables a device to connect to a network. It provides the
physical interface between the device and the network media.

6. Firewall: A firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and
outgoing network traffic based on predefined security rules. It helps protect the network from
unauthorized access and potential threats.

7. Access Point: An access point (AP) is a device that allows wireless devices to connect to a
wired network. It acts as a central point for transmitting and receiving wireless signals,
enabling wireless connectivity in a specific area.

8. Repeater: A repeater is a device that amplifies and regenerates network signals to extend
the reach of a network. It receives and retransmits the signals to overcome signal degradation
and extend the network coverage area.
9. Bridge: A bridge is a networking device that connects two or more LAN segments or
network segments, allowing them to communicate with each other. It operates at the data link
layer and can filter network traffic based on MAC addresses.

10. Gateway: A gateway is a device that connects networks with different protocols or
network architectures, enabling communication between them. It translates data from one
network format to another to facilitate interoperability.
