• NIC ( Network Interface
Card)
Repeater
•In telecommunications, a repeater
is an electronic device that receives a
signal and retransmits it. Repeaters are
used to extend transmissions so that
the signal can cover longer distances or
be received on the other side of an
obstruction.
Hub
• In networking, a hub is a device
that links multiple computers and
devices together. Hubs can also
be referred to as repeaters or
concentrators, and they serve as
the center of a local area
network (LAN). In a hub, each
connected device is on the same
subnet and receives all data sent
to the hub.
Switch
• Switches are key building blocks for any
network. They connect multiple devices, such
as computers, wireless access points,
printers, and servers; on the same network
within a building or campus. A switch enables
connected devices to share information and
talk to each other.
Bridge
• A bridge in a computer network is a device
used to connect multiple LANs together with
a larger Local Area Network (LAN). The
mechanism of network aggregation is known
as bridging. The bridge is a physical or
hardware device but operates at the OSI
model's data link layer and is also known as a
layer of two switches.
Router
• A router receives and sends data
on computer networks. Routers
are sometimes confused with
network hubs, modems, or
network switches. However,
routers can combine the
functions of these components,
and connect with these devices,
to improve Internet access or
help create business networks.
Multi-Layer switch(layer 3 switch)
• A multilayer switch (MLS) is a
computer networking device
that switches on OSI layer 2 like
an ordinary network switch and
provides extra functions on
higher OSI layers. The MLS was
invented by engineers at Digital
Equipment Corporation.
Brouter
• A bridge router or brouter is a
network device that works as a
bridge and as a router. The
brouter routes packets for
known protocols and simply
forwards all other packets as a
bridge would. Brouters operate
at both the network layer for
routable protocols and at the
data link layer for non-routable
protocols.
Modem
• A modulator-demodulator or
modem is a computer hardware
device that converts data from a
digital format into a format
suitable for an analog
transmission medium such as
telephone or radio.
FireWall( security device)
• A Firewall is a network security
device that monitors and filters
incoming and outgoing network
traffic based on an
organization's previously
established security policies. At
its most basic, a firewall is
essentially the barrier that sits
between a private internal
network and the public Internet.
NIC (Network Interface Card)
• A network interface controller
(NIC, also known as a network
interface card, network adapter,
LAN adapter or physical network
interface, and by similar terms)
is a computer hardware
component that connects a
computer to a computer
network.
