PART 1
FUNCTIONS
Connecting or expanding a network
Separate networks

Example:
Hub
Bridges
Routers
Switches
EXPANDING NETWORKS
Tedious process
Less efficient
Create smaller networks from bigger ones
Requires various devices

EXPANSION DEVICES
Regenerates signals for resending
Multiport used to broadcast signals
simultaneously
1. Repeaters and Hubs

EXPANSION DEVICES
Can support different types of media
Most Economic way of expanding a network
Features
Limitations
5
Cannot link unlike segments
Cannot join segments with different access
methods (e.g. CSMA/CD and token passing)
Do not isolate and filter packets
Limitations
EXPANSION DEVICES
Repeaters and Hubs
6
EXPANSION DEVICES
Use to connect two segments or two networks
2. Bridges
7
EXPANSION DEVICES
Has one input and one output
Used to isolate network traffic and computers
Has the intelligent to examine incoming packet
source and destination addresses
Features
8
Has one input and one output
Used to isolate network traffic and computers
Has the intelligent to examine incoming packet
source and destination addresses
EXPANSION DEVICES
Cannot interpret higher-level information
Cfilter packet according to its protocol
Limitations
9
Cannot interpret higher-level information
Cfilter packet according to its protocol
EXPANSION DEVICES

Bridge
EXPANSION DEVICES
Works as a hub but more intelligent
Divides a network into several isolated
channels
3. SWITCHES
14
Works as a hub but more intelligent
Divides a network into several isolated
channels
EXPANSION DEVICES
Better use of limited bandwidth
More cost-effective than bridge
Can be considered as multiport bridges
Can interpret address information
Features
15
Better use of limited bandwidth
More cost-effective than bridge
Can be considered as multiport bridges
Can interpret address information
EXPANSION DEVICES
Reduce the possibility of collision
Each channel has its own network capacity
Since isolated, hence secure
Advantages
16
Reduce the possibility of collision
Each channel has its own network capacity
Since isolated, hence secure
EXPANSION DEVICES
Can be overwhelmed by traffic
Cannot detect collision if buffer is full
Limitations

EXPANSION DEVICES
Used to route packets to their correct
destination
Identify the best path to take for packet
transmission
Make transmission faster and efficient
4. Router
21
Used to route packets to their correct
destination
Identify the best path to take for packet
transmission
Make transmission faster and efficient
EXPANSION DEVICES
Enables a router to route a packet from a TCP/IP
Ethernet network to a TCP/IP token ring network
Only packets with known network addresses will be
passed - hence reduce traffic
Routers can listen to a network and identify its busiest
part
How a Router works
22
Enables a router to route a packet from a TCP/IP
Ethernet network to a TCP/IP token ring network
Only packets with known network addresses will be
passed - hence reduce traffic
Routers can listen to a network and identify its busiest
part
EXPANSION DEVICES
Not suitable for large network
Filter packet according to its protocol
Limitations
23
Not suitable for large network
Filter packet according to its protocol
