5. Modem
•Modem stands for Modulation Demodulation.
•A modem converts data to a signal so it can be easily sent and
received over a phone line, cable, or satellite connection.
•For transmission over an analog telephone line—which was once the
most popular way to access the internet—the modem converts data
between analog and digital formats in real time for two-waynetwork
communication.
•In the case of the high-speed digital modems popular today, the
signal is much simpler and doesn't require the analog-to-digital
conversion

9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

15. What is the hub?
•A hub is a common connection point
•which is used for connection of devices in a network.
•It works as a central connection for all the devices that are connected
through a hub.
•The hub has numerous ports.
•If a packet reaches at one port, it is able to see by all the segments of the
network due to a packet is copied to the other ports.
•A network hub has no routing tables or intelligence (unlike a network
switch or router),
•which is used to send information and broadcast all network data across
each and every connection.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

16. Hub
•Although most of the hubs can recognize network troubles or errors
like collisions, broadcasting all information to the several ports can be
a security risk and cause bottlenecks.
•The network hubs were popular in the past time as they were
cheaper as compared to a switch or router.
•Nowadays, switches are much cheaper than a hub and provide a
better solution for any network. Furthermore, a hub is noIPaddress,
as it is a dumb device
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

17. Types of Hub
There are three types of the hub
•Passive Hub:
•The passive hubs are the connection point for wires that helps to make the physical network.
•It is capable of determining the bugs and faulty hardware.
•Simply, it accepts the packet over a port and circulates it to all ports.
•Active Hub:
•it includes some additional features.
•It is able to monitor the data sent to the connected devices.
•It plays an important role between the connected devices with the help of store technology,
where it checks the data to be sent and decides which packet to send first.
•If a port receives a weak signal, but still it is readable, then the active hub reconstructs the
weak signal into a stronger signal before its sending to other ports.
•Intelligent Hub:
•It is a little smarter than passive and active hubs.
•These hubs have some kinds of management software that help to analyze the problem in
the network and resolve them.
•it offers better performance for the local area network.
•with any physical device, if any problem is detected, it is able to detect this problem easily.

22. What are the Repeaters
•A repeater is a dynamic network device
•used to reproduce the signals when they transmit over a greater
distance so that the signal’s strength remains equal.
•It can be used to create an Ethernet network.
•A repeater that occurs as the first layer of the OSI layer is the physical
layer.

23. Repeater
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

24. Features of Repeaters
•repeaters are linked to each other at the physical layer.
•It sends the signals for the unsteady areas to enlarge the system signals.
•These receptors linked the various network signals to convert the data
between the two devices.
•These repeaters can eliminate the distance between the two devices.
•The repeaters can frequently monitor the signals that are created between
the two LANs.
•The IP network links all the repeaters with an IP site relation network.
•These receptors can support 100 % digital communication so that they do
not require to wait for analog voice calls.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

25. •Advantages of Repeater
•The signals get weaker as they transit to greater distances. The repeater provides the
stability of the signals.
•These repeaters are cost-effective and easy to use.
•The repeaters don’t influence network performance.
•These repeaters can retransmit the information and powerful the weak signals.
•Disadvantage of Repeaters
•They cannot connect two distinct networks.
•While amplifying the signals, the repeaters also amplify the level of noise in those
signals.
•If we enhance the extent of the web by only using the repeaters. In that case, the signal
propagation time will grow to a considerable level, and the network’s performance will
collapse.

31. Bridge in Computer Network?
•Abridgeis a network device that connects two or moreLANs(local
area networks) to form a larger LAN.
•Network bridging refers to the process of aggregating networks.
•A bridge connects the various components, making them appear to
be part of a single network.
•In theOSI model, a bridge operates at layer 2, or thedata link layer.
•This is primarily to check incoming traffic and determine whether it
should be filtered or forwarded.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

32. 9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

33. Working of Bridge
•A bridge accepts all packets and amplifies them before sending them
to the other side.
•Bridges are intelligent devices that allow only specific packets to pass
through them.
•A bridge only transmits packets addressed from one network node to
another
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

34. Types of Bridges in Computer Networks
•Transparent Bridge
•It's an invisible computer network bridge, as the name implies.
•This bridge's primary function is to block or forward data based on
the MAC address.
•The other devices in the network are entirely unaware that bridges
exist.
•This bridge keepsMAC addressesin a table similar to a routing table.
•Typically, these bridges are used in Ethernet networks.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

35. Source-Route Bridge
•It decides the route between two hosts.
•The entire frame route is contained within a single frame in this bridge.
•Thedata link layeris connected to two similar network using this method.
Translational bridge
•Translational bridges are a type of network bridge that can translate
between various network protocols.
•This enables devices on different networks to communicate with one
another, even if they are using different protocols.
•It can connect different types of networks and helps in improving network
security and performance.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

36. Uses of Bridge in Computer Network
•Bridges are used to divide large networks into smaller groups,
networks which helps to reduce traffic.
•Bridges are used to extend the range of the network by connecting
two or more physically separated segments.
•Bridges provide security as it separates different parts of networks
from each other.
•Bridges provide network redundancy by connecting two or more
paths between different network segments.
•Bridges are used to forward frames without changing the source or
destination
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

37. Advantages of Bridges in Computer NetworksDisadvantages of Bridges in Computer
Networks
•It serves as a network extender by acting as
a repeater.
•Subdividing network traffic into network
communications can reduce network traffic
on a segment.
•Collisions can be reduced to a minimum.
•Some types of bridges use architectures
and different types of media to connect
networks.
•Because fewer network nodes share a
collision domain, bridges increase the
available bandwidth to individual nodes.
•It reduces BW waste (bandwidth).
•The network's length can be extended.
•It connects various network transmission
segments.
•It cannot assist in the construction of the
network between the various network
architectures.
•Because it is more concerned with MAC
addresses, it cannot read specific IP
addresses.
•When compared to repeaters, these are
more expensive.
•It cannot stop the flow of messages
because it transmits all types of broadcast
messages.
•It can't handle the more variable and
complex data loads from the WAN.

40. Switches in Computer Networks
•Switches are networking devices operating at layer 2 or a data link
layer of the OSI model.
•They connect devices in a network and use packet switching to send,
receive or forward data packets or data frames over the network.
•A switch has many ports, to which computers are plugged in.
•When a data frame arrives at any port of a network switch, it
examines the destination address, performs necessary checks and
sends the frame to the corresponding device(s).
•It supports unicast, multicast as well as broadcast communications

44. Features of Switches
•It is an intelligent network device that can be conceived as a multiport network bridge.
•It uses MAC addresses to send data packets to selected destination ports.
•It uses packet switching technique to receive and forward data packets from the source
to the destination device.
•It is supports unicast (one-to-one), multicast (one-to-many) and broadcast (one-to-all)
communications.
•Transmission mode is full duplex, i.e. communication in the channel occurs in both the
directions at the same time. Due to this, collisions do not occur.
•Switches are active devices, equipped with network software and network management
capabilities.
•Switches can perform some error checking before forwarding data to the destined port.
•The number of ports is higher –24/48.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

45. Types of Switches
•Switches are categorized into 4 types:
Unmanaged Switch−
•These are inexpensive switches commonly used in home networks
and small businesses.
•They can be set up by simply plugging in to the network, after which
they instantly start operating.
•When more devices needs to be added, more switches are simply
added by this plug and play method.
•they do not require to be configured or monitored.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

46. Managed Switch−
•These are costly switches that are used in organizations with large and
complex networks, since they can be customized to augment the
functionalities of a standard switch.
•The augmented features may be QoS(Quality of Service) like higher
security levels, better precision control and complete network
management.
•Despite their cost, they are preferred in growing organizations due to their
scalability and flexibility.
•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used for configuring
managed switches.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

47. •LAN Switch− Local Area Network (LAN) switches connects devices in
the internal LAN of an organization.
•They are also referred as Ethernet switches or data switches.
•These switches are particularly helpful in reducing network
congestion or bottlenecks.
•They allocate bandwidth in a manner so that there is no overlapping
of data packets in a network.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

48. •PoESwitch− Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches are used in PoE
GogabitEthernets. PoEtechnology combine data and power
transmission over the same cable so that devices connected to it can
receive both electricity as well as data over the same line. PoE
switches offer greater flexibility and simplifies the cabling connections

50. How Does a Network Switch Works?
•When the source wants to send the data packet to the destination,
the packet first enters the switch and the switch reads its header and
finds the MAC address of the destination to identify the device then it
sends the packet out through the appropriate ports that lead to the
destination devices.
•Switch establishes a temporary connection between the source and
destination for communication and terminates the connection once
the conversation is done. Also, it offers full bandwidth to network
traffic going to and from a device simultaneously to reduce collision.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

51. Network Switch Router
Network Switch works on Layer 2 of the OSI Model.
The router is primarily a device of Layer 3 of the OSI
Model.
The resource is shared among multiple devices with
the help of a single LAN using a network switch.
Data is moved between two or more computers with
the help of a router.
Network switches uses data frames. Routers use data packets.
Switches only work in a Wired network connection.Router works with both wired and wifi networks.
Switches use MAC Addresses for transferring data to
the proper destination.
Routers use IP Addresses for the same work.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

52. •Advantages of Switches
•Prevents traffic overloading in a network by segmenting the network
into smaller subnets.
•Increases the bandwidth of the network.
•Less frame collision as the switch creates the collision domain for
each connection.
•Disadvantages of Switches
•It can not stop traffic destined for a different LAN segment from
traveling to all other LAN segments.
•Switches are more expensive.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

53. What is a Router?
•The router is a physical or virtual internetworking device that is designed to receive,
analyze, and forward data packets between computer networks.
•A router examines a destination IP address of a given data packet, and it uses the
headers and forwarding tables to decide the best way to transfer the packets.
•There are some popular companies that develop routers; such
areCisco,3Com,HP,Juniper,D-Link,Nortel, etc.
•Some important points of routers are given below:
•A router is used inLAN(Local Area Network) andWAN(Wide Area Network)
environments.
•For example, it is used inofficesfor connectivity, and you can also establish the
connection between distant networks
•It shares information with other routers in networking.
•It uses the routing protocol to transfer the data across a network.
•Furthermore, it is moreexpensivethan other networking devices like switches and hubs

56. Router
•A router works on thethird layerof the OSI model,
•it is based on the IP address of a computer.
•It uses protocols such as ICMP to communicate between two or more
networks.
•It is also known as anintelligent deviceas it can calculate the best
route to pass the network packets from source to the destination
automatically.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

57. Why Routers?
•A router is more capable as compared to other network devices, such
as a hub, switch, etc., as these devices are only able to execute the
basic functions of the network.
•For example, a hub is a basic networking device that is mainly used to
forward the data between connected devices, but it cannot analyze or
change anything with the transferring data.
•On the other hand, the router has the capability to analyze and
modify the data while transferring it over a network, and it can send it
to another network.
•For example, generally, routers allow sharing a single network
connection between multiple devices.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

58. How does Router work?
•A router analyzes a destination IP address of a given packet header
and compares it with the routing table to decide the packet's next
path. The list of routing tables provides directions to transfer the data
to a particular network destination. They have a set of rules that
compute the best path to forward the data to the given IP address.
•Routers use amodemsuch as a cable, fiber, or DSL modem to allow
communication between other devices and the internet. Most of the
routers have several ports to connect different devices to the internet
at the same time. It uses therouting tablesto determine where to
send data and from where the traffic is coming
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

59. •A routing table mainly defines the default path used by the router. So,
it may fail to find the best way to forward the data for a given packet.
For example, the office router along a single default path instructs all
networks to its internet services provider.
•There are two types of tables in the router that arestatic and
dynamic. The static routing tables are configured manually, and the
dynamic routing tables are updated automatically by dynamic routers
based on network activity
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

60. Features of Router
•A router works on the 3rd layer (Network Layer) of the OSI model, and it is able to communicate
with its adjacent devices with the help of IP addresses and subnet.
•A router provides high-speed internet connectivity with the different types of ports like gigabit,
fast-Ethernet, and STM link port.
•It allows the users to configure the port as per their requirements in the network.
•Routers' main components are central processing unit (CPU), flash memory, RAM, Non-Volatile
RAM, console, network, and interface card.
•Routers are capable of routing the traffic in a large networking system by considering the sub-
network as an intact network.
•Routers filter out the unwanted interference, as well as carry out the data encapsulation and
decapsulationprocess.
•Routers provide the redundancy as it always works in master and slave mode.
•It allows the users to connect several LAN and WAN.
•Furthermore, a router creates various paths to forward the data.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

61. •Applications of Routers
•There are various areas where a router is used:
•Routers are used to connect hardware equipment with remote location networks likeBSC, MGW, IN, SGSN, and other servers.
•It provides support for a fast rate of data transmission because it uses high STM links for connectivity; that's why it is used in both
wired or wireless communication.
•Internet service providers widely use routers to send the data from source to destination in the form of e-mail, a web page, image,
voice, or a video file. Furthermore, it can send data all over the world with the help of an IP address of the destination.
•Routers offer access restrictions. It can be configured in a way that allows for few users to access the overall data and allowsothers
to access the few data only, which is defined for them.
•Routers are also used by software testers for WAN communications. For example, the software manager of an organization is
located in Agra, and its executive is located at a different place like Pune or Bangalore. Then the router provides the executive the
method to share his software tools and other applications with the manager with the help of routers by connecting their PCs to
the router using WAN architecture.
•In wireless networks, by configuring VPN in routers, it can be used in the client-server model, which allows sharing the internet,
video, data, voice, and hardware resources. As shown in the below picture:

63. •In modern times, routers have the facility of inbuilt USB ports within
the hardware. They have enough internal storage capacity. External
storage devices can be used with routers to store and share data.
•Routers are used to set up the operation and maintenance center of
an organization, which is known as the NOC center. All equipment at a
distant location are connected by routers on optical cable at a central
location, which also offer redundancy through the main link and
protection link topology
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

64. •Types of Routers
•There are various types of routers in networking; such are given below:
•1. Wireless Router:Wireless routers are used to offer Wi-Fi connectivity to
laptops, smartphones, and other devices with Wi-Fi network capabilities, and it
can also provide standard ethernetrouting for a small number of wired network
systems.
•Wireless routers are capable of generating a wireless signal in your home or
office, and it allows the computers to connect with routers within a range, and
use the internet. If the connection is indoors, the range of the wireless router is
about 150 feet, and when the connection is outdoors, then its range is up to 300
feet.
•Furthermore, you can make more secure wireless routers with a password or get
your IP address. Thereafter, you can log in to your router by using a user ID and
password that will come with your router.

65. •2. Brouter:A brouteris a combination of the bridge and a router. It allows transferring the data between networks like a bridge.
And like a router, it can also route the data within a network to the individual systems. Thus, it combines these two functions of
bridge and router by routing some incoming data to the correct systems while transferring the other data to another network.
•3. Core router:A core router is a type of router that can route the data within a network, but it is not able to route the data
between the networks. It is a computer communication system device and the backbone of networks, as it helps to link all
network devices. It is used by internet service providers (ISPs), and it also provides various types of fast and powerful data
communication interfaces.
•4. Edge router:An edge router is a lower-capacity device that is placed at the boundary of a network. It allows an internal network
to connect with the external networks. It is also called as an access router. It uses an External BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) to
provides connectivity with remote networks over the internet.
•There are two types of edge routers in networking:
•Subscriber edge router
•Label edge router
•Thesubscriber edge routerbelongs to an end-user organization, and it works in a situation where it acts on a border device.
•Thelabel edge routeris used in the boundary of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks. It acts as a gateway between the
LAN, WAN, or the internet.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

66. •5. Broadband routers:Broadband routers are mainly used to provide
high-speed internet access to computers. It is needed when you
connect to the internet through phone and use voice over IP
technology (VOIP).
•All broadband routers have the option of three or four Ethernet ports
for connecting the laptop and desktop systems. A broadband router is
configured and provided by the internet service provider (ISP). It is
also known as abroadband modem, asymmetric digital subscriber
line (ADSL), or digital subscriber line (DSL) modem
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

67. •Routing Protocols
•Routing protocols specify a way for the router to identify other routers on
the network and make dynamic decisions to send all network messages.
There are several protocols, which are given below:
•Open Shortest Path First (OSPF):It is used to calculate the best route for
the given packets to reach the destination, as they move via a set of
connected networks. It is identified by the Internet Engineering Task
Force(IETF)as Interior Gateway Protocol.
•Border Gateway Protocol (BGP):It helps manage how packets are routed
on the internet via exchange of information between edge routers. It
provides network stability for routers if one internet connection goes down
while forwarding the packets, it can adapt another network connection
quickly to send the packets.
9/13/2023 Compiled By : Sayed Ehsan Shamsi

68. •Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP):It specifies how routing information will be
exchanged between gateways within an independent network. Then, the other network
protocols can use the routing information to determine how transmissions should be
routed.
•Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP):In this protocol, if a router is
unable to find a path to a destination from the tables, it asks route to its neighbors, and
they pass the query to their neighbors until a router has found the path. When the entry
of routing table changes in one of the routers, it informs its neighbors only about the
changes, but do not send the entire table.
•Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP):It decides how routing information can be exchanged
between two neighbor gateway hosts, each of which has its own router. Additionally, it is

number of hops that can be allowed for RIP is 15, which restricts the size of networks
that RIP can support.
