ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING ACTIVITY

- Identifying Network Devices and Cabling-

Objectives

Part 1: Identify Network Devices

• Describe the functions and physical characteristics of the network device.

Part 2: Identify Network Media

• Describe the functions and physical characteristics of the media.

Background / Scenario
As a member of the networking support staff, you must be able to identify a total of 12(Twelve)
different Network Devices listed as follows: 2 (Two) for each of the categories listed.

Refer to your Packet Tracer Network Devices (Routers, Switches, Hubs, Wireless
Devices, Security and Wan Emulator).
Another 10(Ten) different Network Media: 6 (Six) for connections and 4 (Four) for Structured
Cabling.

Refer to your Packet Tracer Network Media (Connections, Structured Cabling).

You must also understand the function of equipment in the appropriate part of the network.
Research it.
In this activity, you will have access to network devices and media. You will identify the type and
characteristics of the network equipment and media.

Part 1: Identify Network Devices

Fill in the table below with the device tag ID number, manufacturer, device model, type (Routers,
Switches, Hubs), functionality (wireless, router, switch, or combination), and other physical
characteristics, such as number of interface types. The first line is filled out as a reference.
(Example is excluded in the count.)

Part 2: Identify Network Media

You will name the network media, identify the media type (copper, fiber optic, or wireless), and
provide a short media description including what device types it connects. Use the table below to
record your findings. The first line in the table has been filled out as a reference. (Example is
excluded in the count.)

ID Network Media Type Description and to What It Connects

Connect wired NIC and Ethernet ports on network devices

1 UTP Copper Cat 5 straight-through wired. Connects PCs and routers to
switches and wiring panels.
