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)

What is a network traffic analyzer used for?
A network traffic analyzer is used for analyzing and monitoring the use of network traffic for many devices. Network Traffic Analyzer is also used to monitor the wireless network performance.
Where is the OUI used?
OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) is used in MAC addresses of network devices to identify the manufacturer or vendor of the device. It helps in organizing and managing network traffic, troubleshooting network issues, and ensuring security by identifying the origins of devices connected to the network.
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.
