Sophisticated networks generally use which of the following hardware devices to ease the flow of data packets throughout the network?
Modern networks used two devices for the data packets within the network will flow easily. The two devices are the routers and switches.
A type of hardware device that can be used to interconnect networks?
Switches
What is a node that connects two different networks?
Two different networks are connected by a router. Switches are used to connect network devices within networks.
How catalyst switch different from the simple switch?
Catalyst switches have support for several technologies that may be used in larger networks, and that are not available on home switches - for example, VLANs, and STP (Spanning-Tree Protocol), as well as options for port security.Catalyst switches have support for several technologies that may be used in larger networks, and that are not available on home switches - for example, VLANs, and STP (Spanning-Tree Protocol), as well as options for port security.Catalyst switches have support for several technologies that may be used in larger networks, and that are not available on home switches - for example, VLANs, and STP (Spanning-Tree Protocol), as well as options for port security.Catalyst switches have support for several technologies that may be used in larger networks, and that are not available on home switches - for example, VLANs, and STP (Spanning-Tree Protocol), as well as options for port security.
A network technician is evaluating the desirable features of both access and distribution layer switches Which two features are common to switches at these two layers?
qos, link aggregation
What device separates collision domains?
Bridges, Switches and Routers will all separate collision domains.
What is the main function of an edge device?
They are routers, switches, routing switches, IAD's multiplexers, and a variety of MAN and WAN access devices that provide entry points into enterprise or service provider core networks. Edge devices also provide connections into carrier and service provider networks. They provide access to faster, more efficient backbone and core networks.
Why do LANs tend to use brodcast networks Why not use networks consisting of multiplers and switches?
Broadcasts are necessary at local network levels. ARP is on of the broadcasts but it's required for existence of a local network.
What has the author Ebrahim Mirshamsi written?
Ebrahim Mirshamsi has written: 'Performance of opening and closing switches for pulsed-power networks'
What is a Ethernet switch used for?
Ethernet switches are used to make possible communication between different network meaning, switches create networks. Also switches use different mechanism of forwarding communication between computers as well as it does not share one channel for multiple computers.
