 Network devices -  " network "  device  is a component that makes up the  network  infrastructure such as modems, routers and switches. A "networked"  device  on the other hand refers to equipment that connects to a  network . Hub - is a simple device that directs data packets to all devices connected to it. S erves simply as a conduit for the data, enabling it to go from one device to another.  Switch - are the connectivity point of a wired network. Devices are connected via twisted - pair  cabling, one cable for each device. Router -  are completely different devices. I s hardware device designed to receive, analyze and move incoming packets to another network. Bridge - is used to divide larger network into smaller sections. It is located between two physical network segments and manages the flow of data between the two.  Network Interface Card - is a device that enables com...

What is Network Topology? Network Topology -   refers to layout of a  network . How different nodes in a  network  are connected to each other and how they communicate is determined by the  network's topology .  Network Topology  refers to the layout of a  network  and how different nodes in a  network  are connected to each other and how they communicate.         TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY 1 .   Linear Bus Topology -  is a type of  network topology  in which each device is connected one after the other in a sequential chain.   Advantages of Linear Bus Topology: 1.   It is easy to connect a device to the network. 2.  It is cheaper than other network options. 3.  The failure of one station does not affect the rest of the network. 4.  No hubs or switches are required. 5.  Extensions can be made to the network. 6.  Multiple no...
