Study Notes
Network Hub Essentials
- Primarily functions to connect multiple network devices, allowing data communication between them.
- Operates at the physical layer (Layer 1) of the OSI model, dealing directly with electrical signals.
- Considered a basic device with no intelligence; it simply transmits incoming signals to all connected devices without filtering.
- Works with raw binary data (0's and 1's) at the physical layer, facilitating the transmission of frames through electrical pulses.
Interconnecting Networks
- Routers connect multiple Local Area Networks (LANs), facilitating communication and data exchange between different networks.
- The primary purpose of using routers is to manage traffic between networks efficiently, ensuring data packets reach the correct destination.
