Layer 7 of the OSI model, known as the Application Layer, includes devices such as web servers, email servers, and application gateways. These devices handle application-level protocols like HTTP, FTP, and SMTP, facilitating user interactions and data exchange over the network. Additionally, Layer 7 load balancers and application delivery controllers (ADCs) are used to manage traffic and optimize performance by making routing decisions based on application data.

Interfaces used on the system to connect to Network devices reside on Physical layer.
hub is the device that is used to extend the lan segment and used at layer1 that is physical layer.
A Hub or a Switch
Physical layer = Hub, NIC, Repeater. Data Link Layer = Switch, Bridge. Network Layer = Router.
If devices are within the same network then they operate at the second layer.
Layer 1 (hubs) or Layer 2 (bridges or switches) devices.
Hubs and Switches
Repeaters and hubs
The OSI layer that moves bits between devices is the Physical layer, which is the first layer of the OSI model. It is responsible for the transmission and reception of raw binary data over a physical medium, such as cables or wireless signals. This layer defines the electrical, mechanical, and procedural aspects required for the physical connection between devices.
Routers
The layer 2 devices use the data link layer addresses.
