1. Hub "Dumb" a hub connects the
router to the network, takes
the data packets from the
router, and sends then to all
the devices connected on
the network. An example:
USB hub. This sits at the
physical layer, or first layer of
the OSI model. It eats up
bad- width more than a
switch.
2. Swtch "Smart" build a table of MAC
addresses. Used to connect
de- vices n a specific network
and al- lows them to
communicate efl- ciently
within a network. It uses less
bandwidth, so used more
often. Sits at the second layer
of the OSI model or the
Data Level.
3. Router connects two or more ditter-
ing networks, forwards
packets (uses IP addresses)
it sits at the third lyer of OSI
"network" level. can access
through a wired eth- ernet
or wirelessly. (wired is far
more secure)

5. Which device forwards data packets to all connect- Hub
ed ports?
Switch, Router, Hub or Access Point
6. Which of the following devices passes data
based on MAC addresses. Switch
7. Network Topology Refers to the geometric
arrangement of the actual
phys- ical organization of the
comput- ers and other
network devices) in a
network. what type of cables
are used as well.
8. Topology and protocols The networking protocol is
the set of rules established
for users to gain contrtol of
the network to exchange
information. The topology is
the network archi- tecture
used to interconnect the
networking equipment.
9. Bus Topology A LAN configuration in which
all nodes share a common
line. They were created
before there was an Internet.
Connected via a backbone or
common data link. CAble
ends have to be terminat- ed.
Devices can only access the
cable one at a time "First
come First Serve"
