EXPERIMENT-3
Create LAN network using Hub, Switch. Establish Inter LAN communication
using Router
AIM:
To Install and configure Network Devices HUB, Switch and Routers PCs are
interfaced using connectivity devices.
THEORY:
1. Repeater: Functioning at Physical Layer.A repeater is an electronic device that
receives a signal and retransmits it at a higher level and/or higher power, or onto
the other side of an obstruction, so that the signal can cover longer distances.
Repeater has two ports, so cannot be used to connect for more than two devices.
2. Hub: An Ethernet hub, active hub, network hub, repeater hub, hub or
concentrator is a device for connecting multiple twisted pair or fiber optic
Ethernet devices together and making them act as a single network segment.
Hubs work at the physical layer (layer 1) of the OSI model. The device is a form
of multiport repeater. Repeater hubs also participate in collision detection,
forwarding a jam signal to all ports if it detects a collision.
3. Switch: A network switch or switching hub is a computer networking device
that connects network segments. The term commonly refers to a
network bridge that processes and routes data at the data link layer (layer 2) of
the OSI model. Switches that additionally process data at the network layer (layer
3 and above) are often referred to as Layer 3
switches or multilayer switches.
4. Bridge: A network bridge connects multiple network segments at the data link
layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. In Ethernet networks, the term bridge formally
means a device that behaves according to the IEEE 802.1 D standards. A bridge
and switch are very much alike; a switch being a
bridge with numerous ports. Switch or Layer 2 switch is often used interchangeably
with bridge. Bridges can analyze incoming data packets to determine if the bridge is
able to send the given packet to another segment of the network.
PROCEDURE:
RESULT & DISCUSSION:
Thus, install and configure Network Devices PCs are interfaced using
connectivity devices – Hub, router and switch have been done successfully.
