Out of the many devices available for networks, the most obvious and common ones are:

  • routers
  • network cables (varying from fibre optic to CAT 5 and CAT 6)
  • servers/workstations
  • Network Interface Cards

Although the next set of hardware is not needed, they are sometimes very important and must be implemented into the network system - this of course all depends on type of typology and network configuration used in the network:

  • modems and other peripherals (such as cameras, printers, etc.)
  • hubs
  • switches
  • repeaters
  • gateways

Clients can access the network via NIC's which plug directly into hubs, switches and or routers.

This is a simple computer network, but a generalisation would say that anything that can connect to the internet is something that can access a network. As we know that the internet is the worlds largest WAN (Wired Area Network)
