Interconnecting Devices
An Interconnecting devices is a network device. It used to transfer data from one computer to other computer with the help of network devices. There are five categories of interconnecting devices are such as.
- Router
- Hubs
- Switches/Bridge
- Repeater
- BRouter
Repeater:
Now I am going to tell you the repeater is an electronic device that used to receive and send a signal. It amplifies the signal and noise. It provides transmission of the signal.
HUB (Hyper User Bus):
In this, it used to link several computers in the same network. It based on broadcasting, and it sends the data to all computers and repeats the signal which receives a signal from one port and copies to other port and traffic are high.
Bridge / Switch:
In this, we can see the interconnecting devices which can divide a single network into two or more segment are called Bridge / Switch. It has multiple ports like 2, 4, 16, and 32. The Switch maintains MAC-TABLE (MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL) and The Bridge maintain CAM-TABLE (CONTENT ADDRESSABLE MEMORY).
Router:
The router is highly intelligent Interconnecting devices which connect two dissimilar networks. It defines the shortest and best path. It maintains a table is called RIT it uses a protocol like RIP, IGRP and EIGRP.
RIT - ROUTING INFORMATION TABLE
RIP - ROUTING INFORMATION PROTOCOL
IGRP – INTERIOR GATEWAY ROUTING PROTOCOL
EIGRP - ENHANCED INTERIOR GATEWAY ROUTING PROTOCOL
BRouter:
It is the combination of Bridge and Router, it will connect LAN & WAN. It provides a single network into two or more segment and shortest and best path.
