Explain each type of network devices with its function?

Computer network devices also known as communication devices and they constitute a data communication network. These devices are routers, switches, hubs, LAN cards, gateway, modems, hardware firewall, CSU/DSU, ISDN terminals and transceivers. In an Ethernet or WAN network, the data communication cannot be performed without these devices. Being an IT professional or a network administrator, you must have the good understanding of these devices.


What is connecting to a network?

Network Topology decides how Devices on a Network will be interconnected. General used Topologies are BUS, RING & STAR Topologies.

Is an internet connection required for a home network and why?

No, a simple home network can be configured to share data and devices without connecting to the internet.


Deine the topology and explain the advantage and disadantage of bus star and ring topology?

Topology is the structure that describes how devices in a Network are connected.Bus Topology: Directly connects all devices to network i.e utilises a single Physical medium for Data transmission between devices.Star Topology: Connects all devices in network through a Central Network connecting device such as Hubs & Switches.Advantage of Bus Topology is that less connecting cable is used.Advantage of Star Topology is that Network can function in case one or more devices fail.Disadvantage of Bus Topology is that whole Network goes down if one device fails.Disadvantage of Star Topology is that it requires physical connecting medium from Central device to the connecting device i.e more expensive.


What are the basic hardware building blocks to interconnect network nodes?

The basic hardware building blocks to interconnect network nodes include network interface cards (NICs) for connecting devices to the network, switches for connecting multiple devices within a local network, routers for managing traffic between different networks, and cables or wireless connections for transmitting data between nodes.


Does connecting 8 devices to the Sabrent Network Switch hub slow down the connections?

Yes the more devices connected, the more slow the connection will be.


How are the devices connected on a bus network?

Devices on a linear bus network are connected to each other via a wire, usually through a T-connector device. In effect, the devices are "daisy chained" together without any other device connecting them.


How do network adapters work to connect devices to a network?

Network adapters are essential devices for connecting computers, laptops, smartphones and other devices to a network (such as the internet or local area networks). They function as intermediaries between the device and the communication medium (such as cables, Wi-Fi signals or Bluetooth connections), allowing communication to occur efficiently.

What is a managed switch used for?

A managed switch is a network switch, which is used for connecting computers and network devices. It is handy because it allows you to handle individual ports of the switch.
