Study Notes

Network Interface Cards (NICs)

Physically connect host devices to network media
Can be a printed circuit board or a peripheral device
Identified by a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address
MAC address is used to control data communication for the host on the network

Repeaters

Regenerate analog or digital signals distorted by transmission loss due to attenuation
Do not make intelligent decisions concerning forwarding packets

Hubs

Concentrate on connections, allowing the network to see multiple hosts as a single unit
Act passively, without affecting data transmission
Active hubs also regenerate signals

Bridges

Convert network data formats and perform basic data transmission management
Provide connections between LANs
Check data to determine if it should cross the bridge, making each part of the network more efficient

Switches

Add intelligence to data transfer management
Determine if data should remain on a LAN and only transfer data to the needed connection
Do not convert data transmission formats

Routers

Have all the capabilities of bridges, switches, and other network devices
