What else can I help you with?
Which network topology do nodes act as repeaters?
Star Topology, where Hubs can act as repeaters.
Which device boosts the signal but does not segment the network?
Repeaters and Hubs
What is the maximum number of active hubs or repeaters that can be linked in a daisy-chain configuration?
10
What devices operate only at the Physical layer of the OSI model?
All network devices have some component that operates at layer 1. Only hubs and repeaters operate entirely at layer 1.
What can bridges do that hubs and repeaters cannot do?
Bridges send information (data) to the specified destination, whereas hubs and repeaters do not.
What can bridge do that hubs and repeaters cannot do?
Bridges send information (data) to the specified destination, whereas hubs and repeaters do not.

Connectivity devices such as hubs and repeaters operate at which layer?
Hubs and repeaters operate at the Physical Layer of the OSI Model. The Physical Layer is the first layer of the OSI Model.
Is an active or a passive hub better?
Passive Hubs These hubs are nothing more than point contacts for the wires that make up the physical network. An example of this would be a punchdown block that is a simple plastic, unpowered box used to plug network cables into it. Active Hubs Active hubs are a little smarter than the passive hubs we saw. All You might also come across the term "concentrators" which are basically active hubs, concentrating and strengthening a signal as it enters and exits the hub.
What is the 5 4 3 rule in networking?
On a standard Ethernet network, between any two devices that communicate (such as computers), you can't have more than 4 repeaters (this includes hubs). "5-4-3" refers to a maximum of 5 segments; 4 repeaters; 3 segments with hosts on them.
Do connectivity devices such as hubs and repeaters operate at the Presentation layer of the OSI Model?
No. Only protocols that users can see on their screen are considered Presentation Layer based. Hubs and repeaters operate on the physical layer, because it doesn't do anything with the data, it simply forwards it.
Which layer 1 devices can be used extend the area covered by a single LAN segment?
Repeaters and hubs
