WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT NETWORK DEVICES?

I'm gonna discuss what is the definition of network device. WHAT IS THE NETWORK DEVICE? The network device is provide connectivity and functionality.The other hand refers to equipment that connects to a network.

So that's the different type of network device and the other devices not included. 1.HUB - Networking device which is used to connect multiple devices in a network. They are generally used to connect computers in a LAN. Least expensive and intelligence.Simple device that directs data all devices connected to it.

2.SWITCH - A device that operates at the Data Link layer, using packet switching to receive and forward data to the destination device it is smarter than hub and direct sending.

3.ROUTER -That forwards data packets between computer networks. It can transmit through wired and wireless networks.

4.NETWORK BRIDGE -That creates a single aggregate network from multiple communication networks. A bridge in a computer network connects with other bridge networks that utilize a similar protocol.

5.NETWORK INTERFACE CARD - A controller is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network. It can be used a hardware component without which a computer cannot be connected over a network.

6.MODEM -a short of modulator-demodulator is a hardware device that converts data from a digital format,converts the diigtal signals generated by a computer that can travel over conventional phone lines.

7.TRANSCEIVER -is a device that is able to both transmit and receive information through a transmission medium.For placing signals into network media and travelling through same wire.

Router,hubs and router device that tend to used interchangeably and they are integrated into single device. hub or switch that is concerned with transmitting frames, a router is to route packets to other networks until that packet ultimately reaches its destination.
