4.Describe each of these devices in detail with diagram and

functionalities.

 Hub:-
 Active Hub:

An active hub is actually a multipart repeater. It is normally

used to create connections between stations in a physical star topology.
We have seen examples of hubs in some. Ethernet implementations
(lOBase-T, for example). However, hubs can also be used to create
multiple levels of hierarchy, as shown in Figure 15.4. The hierarchical
use of hubs removes the length limitation of 10Base-T (100 m).

 Passive Hub:

A passive hub is just a connector. It connects the wires

coming from different branches. In a star-topology Ethernet LAN, a
passive hub is just a point where the signals coming from different
stations collide; the hub is the collision point. This type of a hub is part of
the media; its location in the Internet model is below the physical layer.

 Switches:
A switched network consists of a series of interlinked nodes, called
switches. Switches are devices capable of creating temporary
connections between two or more devices linked to the switch. In a
switched network, some of these nodes are connected to the end
systems (computers or telephones, for example).
Types:

 Circuit Switched:

A circuit-switched network consists of a set of switches connected

by physical links. A connection between two stations is a dedicated path
made of one or more links. However, each connection uses only one
dedicated channel on each link. Each link is normally divided into n
channels by using FDM or TDM. A circuit-switched network is made of a
set of switches connected by physical links, in which each link is divided
into n channels.

 Packet Switch:

A switch used in a packet-switched network has a different

structure from a switch used in a circuit-switched network.We can say
that a packet switch has four components: input ports, output ports, the
routing processor, and the switching fabric.
  Message Switch:

In message switching, each switch stores the whole message

and forwards it to the next switch. Although, we don't see message
switching at lower layers, it is still used in some applications like
electronic mail (e-mail).

 Router:
A router is a three-layer device that routes packets based on
their logical addresses (host-to-host addressing). A router normally
connects LANs and WANs in the Internet and has a routing table that is
used for making decisions about the route. The routing tables are
normally dynamic and are updated using routing protocols. We discuss
routers and routing in greater detail in Chapters 19 and 21. Figure 15.11
shows a part of the Internet that uses routers to connect LANs and
WANs.

Routers connecting independent LANs and WANs

Types:

 Three-Layer Switches

A three-layer switch is a router, but a faster and more

sophisticated. The switching fabric in a three-layer switch allows faster
table lookup and forwarding. In this book, we use the terms router and
three-layer switch interchangeably.

 Two-Layer Switches
 When we use the term switch, we must be careful because a
switch can mean two different things. We must clarify the term by adding
the level at which the device operates. We can have a two-layer switch
or a three-layer switch. A three-layer switch is used at the network layer;
it is a kind of router. The two-layer switch performs at the physical and
data link layers.

 Bridge:
A bridge operates in both the physical and the data link layer. As
a physical layer device, it regenerates the signal it receives. As a data
link layer device, the bridge can check the physical (MAC) addresses
(source and destination) contained in the frame.

A bridge connecting two LANs

Types:

 Filtering:

One may ask, What is the difference in functionality between a

bridge and a repeater? A bridge has filtering capability. It can check the
destination address of a frame and decide if the frame should be
forwarded or dropped. If the frame is to be forwarded, the decision must
specify the port. A bridge has a table that maps addresses to ports.

 Transparent Bridges:
 A transparent bridge is a bridge in which the stations are
completely unaware of the bridge's existence. If a bridge is added or
deleted from the system, reconfiguration of the stations is unnecessary.
According to the IEEE 802.1 d specification, a system equipped with
transparent bridges must meet three criteria:
I. Frames must be forwarded from one station to another.
2. The forwarding table is automatically made by learning frame
movements in then network.
3. Loops in the system must be prevented.

 Source Routing Bridges:

Another way to prevent loops in a system with redundant

bridges is to use source routing bridges. A transparent bridge's duties
include filtering frames, forwarding, and blocking. In a system that has
source routing bridges, these duties are performed by the source station
and, to some extent, the destination station. In source routing, a sending
station defines the bridges that the frame must visit. The addresses of
these bridges are included in the frame. In other words, the frame
contains not only the source and destination addresses, but also the
addresses of all bridges to be visited. The source gets these bridge
addresses through the exchange of special frames with the destination
prior to sending the data frame. Source routing bridges were designed
by IEEE to be used with Token Ring LANs. These LANs are not very
common today.

 Gateway:
Although some textbooks use the terms gateway and router
interchangeably, most of the literature distinguishes between the two. A
gateway is normally a computer that operates in all five layers of the
Internet or seven layers of OSI model. A gateway takes an
application message, reads it, and interprets it. This means that it can be
used as a connecting device between two internetworks that use
different models. For example, a network designed to use the OSI model
can be connected to another network using the Internet model. The
gateway connecting the two systems can take a frame as it arrives from
the first system, move it up to the OSI application layer, and remove the
message.
  Repeater:
A repeater is a device that operates only in the physical layer.
Signals that carry information within a network can travel a fixed
distance before attenuation endangers the integrity of the data. A
repeater receives a signal and, before it becomes too weak or corrupted,
regenerates the original bit pattern. The repeater then sends the
refreshed signal. A repeater can extend the physical length of a LAN, as
shown in Figure 15.2.

A repeater does not actually connect two LANs; it connects two

segments of the same LAN. The segments connected are still part of
one single LAN. A repeater is not a device that can connect two LANs of
different protocols. A repeater connects segments of a LAN. A repeater
can overcome the 10Base5 Ethernet length restriction. In this standard,
the length of the cable is limited to 500 m. To extend this length, we
divide the cable into segments and install repeaters between segments.
Note that the whole network is still considered one LAN, but the portions
of the network separated by repeaters are called segments. The
repeater acts as a two-port node, but operates only in the physical
layer. When it receives a frame from any of the ports, it regenerates and
forwards it to the other port.

 Modem:
 The term modem is a composite word that refers to the two
functional entities that make up the device: a signal modulator and a
signal demodulator. A modulator creates a bandpass analog signal from
binary data. A demodulator recovers the binary data from the modulated
signal.
Modem stands for modulator/demodulator.

The relationship of modems to a communications line The computer on

the left sends a digital signal to the modulator portion of the modem; the
data are sent as an analog signal on the telephone lines. The modem on
the right receives the analog signal, demodulates it through its
demodulator, and delivers data to the computer on the right. The
communication can be bidirectional, which means the computer on the
right can simultaneously send data to the computer on the left, using the
same modulation/demodulation processes.

 Dail up Modem:

Traditional telephone lines can carry frequencies between 300

and 3300 Hz, giving them a bandwidth of 3000 Hz. All this range is used
for transmitting voice, where a great deal of interference and distortion
can be accepted without loss of intelligibility. As we have seen, however,
data signals require a higher degree of accuracy to ensure integrity. For
safety's sake, therefore, the edges of this range are not used for data
communications. In general, we can say that the signal bandwidth must
be smaller than the cable bandwidth. The effective bandwidth of a
telephone line being used for data transmission is 2400 Hz, covering the
range from 600 to 3000 Hz. Note that today some telephone lines are
capable of handling greater bandwidth than traditional lines. However,
modem design is still based on traditional capability.

 Digital subscriber Line:

After traditional modems reached their peak data rate, telephone

companies developed another technology, DSL, to provide higher-speed
access to the Internet. Digital subscriber line (DSL) technology is one of
the most promising for supporting high-speed digital communication over
the existing local loops. DSL technology is a set of technologies, each
differing in the first letter (ADSL, VDSL, HDSL, and SDSL). The set is
often referred to as xDSL, where x can be replaced by A, V, H, or S.

ADSL is an asymmetric communication technology designed for

residential users; it is not suitable for businesses.

The high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (HDSL) was designed as an

alternative to the T-lline (1.544 Mbps). The T-1line uses alternate mark
inversion (AMI) encoding, which is very susceptible to attenuation at
high frequencies.

The symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL) is a one twisted-pair

version of HDSL. It provides full-duplex symmetric communication
supporting up to 768 kbps in each direction.

The very high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (VDSL), an alternative

approach that is similar to ADSL, uses coaxial, fiber-optic, or twisted-pair
cable for short distances. The modulating technique is DMT.

 Network Interface Card:

A network interface card (NIC) is a circuit board or card that is
installed in a computer so that it can be connected to a network. A
network interface card provides the computer with a dedicated, full-time
connection to a network. Personal computers and workstations on a
local area network (LAN) typically contain a network interface card
specifically designed for the LAN transmission technology

NIC Physical Description

Network cards come in many different forms but the two main ones are
wired and wireless.

Wireless NICs need to use wireless technologies to access the network,

so they have one or more antennas sticking out of the card. You can see
an example of this with the TP-Link PCI Express Adapter.
Wired NICs just use an RJ45 port since they have an Ethernet cable
attached to the end. This makes them much flatter than wireless network
cards. The TP-Link Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Network Adapter is
one example.

No matter which is used, the NIC protrudes from the back of the
computer next to the other plugs, like for the monitor. If the NIC is
plugged into a laptop, it's most likely attached to the side.

observation in detail. Justify with obsevation.

 From above collected information we can say that there are

number of networking devices which we can use to create
different networks and each device has its own features. And
also these devices are manufactured by number of different
manufacturers. We can say a single device can have n
number of maufacturers and that it may have n number of
cost values depending on functionalities it can provide to the
user and how capable device is so that we can use it to a
have a good network.

Lab 1.Select a device of your choice and write the steps for its
Activity: installation and configuration.

Installation and Configuration of Repeater:

Steps:

 First, plug your repeater into the wall next to your PC with the
supplied power cord, and connect the repeater to your PC’s
Internet/LAN input (a broadband “phone jack” type plug that is
wider than your phone plug connector”).
 In Windows 7 (the steps are similar for other operating systems. If
you get stuck, please comment below and we’ll provide detailed
instructions), type “Network and Sharing Center” into your Start
Menu search box and hit enter.
 If your wireless repeater is recognized by your PC, you should see
it as a wired network (i.e. “Local Area Connection”) under “View
your active networks.”
 Left-click the connection, and select “Properties.”
 Select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” (select
TCP/IP Protocol is there is only one version) and click on
“Properties.”
 Change “Obtain an IP address automatically” to “Use the following
 IP address.” Then enter:
 IP Address: 192.168.1.100
 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
 Default gateway: 192.168.1.2 (substitute with the
IP address of your wireless repeater – should be
specified in the documentation)
 Leave DNS settings as is and save.
 Browse to the IP address of your repeater in a browser
window (i.e. //192.168.1.2).
 Your wireless repeater user ID and password (usually
admin/admin by default – you’ll want to change these once in).
 Browse to Basic > Wireless
 Enter the SSID that matches the name of your wireless network
(we initially tried giving the repeater a unique name but couldn’t
get it to connect). Select your network band (we recommend 2.4
GHz (B+G+N), where N allows speeds up to 300mbps or faster.
Note that this repeater is not compatible with the newer 5 GHz
band, available on dual band routers.
 Click on “Site Survey.”
 Find the SSID of your wireless network and select “Connect.”
 You should see a message that you connected successfully. If
not, see the troubleshooting section below.
 You can now move your wireless repeater to a location halfway
between your router and your PC.
 Disconnect and re-connect to your wireless connection on your
PC. You should notice a marked increase in connection speed.

Installation steps for Network Interface Card:

Step 1: Install a network card. This could be PCI card or USB network
card adaptor.

If you are installing a PCI card you need to open your computer case
and push the PCI network card into an empty PCI slot. It is quite simple
and straight forward. If you are using a USB network adaptor you simply
need to plug it into an empty USB port.
Step 2: Install the device driver for the network card. Windows will
detect that you have installed a new hardware. In most cases it will
install the drivers automatically. If not, you need to install the drivers
manually from the CD supplied with the network card. 7 operating
system

Step 3: After the drivers have been installed successfully you can see a
network card listed under windows device manager. To go to the device
manager click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Security ->
Device Manager.

You will see a network card listed under the device manager similar to
the image below:
Step 4: Go to network sharing center by clicking Start -> Control panel
-> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center. As you can
see from the image below the computer name tiger is connected to a
network and has access to the Internet. This indicates that our network
card is installed correctly and managed to get connection to our network.
In this case it is connected to a ADSL router.
Step 5: Check your local area connections by clicking on change
adaptor settings link on the left side of Network and Sharing center.
You will get an icon similar to below:

Step 6: Double click on Local Area Connection icon which will display
your LAN status. It shows the network connection duration, the speed of
the connection, number of bytes sent and received etc
Step 7: Click Details to see the Network connection details. You will see
some very import connection details. Inside the red highlighted area you
will see DHCP Enable is set to Yes and your IP Address listed. DHCP
means (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Basically its a feature
built into most Routers or server operating systems which automatically
assigns an IP address to the client computer. In our case the Router is
the DHCP server and our computer is the client. Please note the
dynamic IP address assigned by a DHCP server is random and can
change next time you reboot your computer or the router.
Step 8: Close the Network connection details. Click Properties -> (on
Network area connections status) -> Internet protocol version 4
(TCP/IPv4) -> Properties. As you can see everything is set to
automatic. This means the DHCP server assigns everything
automatically as mentioned above.
Step 9: If you have many computers on a network i.e. your Desktop PC,
Your Laptop, and your PS3 console its a good idea to fix the IP Address
for each device. This is called static IP address. By fixing the IP address
you can easily identify each computer on the network. This is what i will
do below. I will choose my IP address as 192.168.0.100. The subnet
mask will be automatically set to 255.255.255.0. Default gateway
is 192.168.0.1. The gateway IP address is normally the IP address of
your router. Preferred DNS server is also the IP Address of your router,
although you can use other DNS server like Open DNS IP address.
Step 10: You can now check if the static settings have taken effect by
clicking on Detailson Local Area connection status as you have done on
Step 6. Finally you will see all the settings that you have made in the
previous step has taken effect. You will notice that the DHCP enable is
set to No, as we have set each value manually.
