2. NETWORKING DEVICES  What is a networking device?  What are the different networking devices?

3. NETWORKING DEVICE  includes all computers, peripherals, interface cards  other equipment needed to perform data-processing and communications within the network

4. NETWORKING DEVICES  Network Interface Card (NIC)  Hubs  Switches  Repeaters  Bridge  Router  Modem

6. NETWORK INTERFACE CARD  provides the physical connection between the network and the computer workstation  also referred to as Ethernet adapters, network adapters, LAN cards, or LAN adapters

7. How NICs Work  Before sending data from a computer, a NIC converts the data into a signal that is appropriate for network cabling.  Transceiver  Combo cards

9. HUB  sometimes referred to as a concentrator  acts as a convergence point of a network, allowing the transfer of data packets

10. HUB  a hub works by duplicating the data packets received via one Port, and making it available to all ports, therefore allowing data sharing between all devices connected to the hub

12. SWITCH  joins multiple computers together within one local area network.  capable of inspecting data packets as they are received, determining the source and destination device of each packet, and forwarding them appropriately

13. SWITCH  joins multiple computers together within one local area network.  capable of inspecting data packets as they are received, determining the source and destination device of each packet, and forwarding them appropriately

15. REPEATER  electrically amplifies the signal it receives and rebroadcasts it  can be separate devices or they can be incorporated into a concentrator  used when the total length of your network cable exceeds the standards set for the type of cable being used

17. BRIDGE  used to create a connection between two separate computer networks or to divide one network into two.

18. ROUTER

19. ROUTER  connects at least two networks  forwards and routes data packets along networks.

20. ROUTER  The router ensures that information doesn't go where it's not needed.  The router makes sure that information does make it to the intended destination.

22. MODEM A modem is a communication device that is used to provide the connectivity with the internet.
