ACTIVITY 2
TYPES OF NETWORK HARDWARE
There are many types of network
hardware available. The network hardware that i have learned in the lecture
videos are router, switch and network.
The function of routers are to
connect multiple computers or others router together and transmit data to its
correct destination on a network. Besides, Routers perform the traffic
directing function on the internet . A data packet is typically forwarded from
one router to another through the networks that constitute the internetwork
until it reaches its destination node .
The function of
switch are to connect device together on a computer network to receive, process
and forward data to the destination device.A netword switch is a multiportt
network bridge that uses hardware addresses to process and forward data at the
data link layer.
The function of
network are to enable a computer or device that does not have build-in
networking capability to access a network. The network controller
implements the electronic circuitry to required to communicate using a specific
physical layer and data link layer standard such as Ethernet,Fibre Channel,
WI-FI or Token Ring.
