    OPM 4 Hub Works as traffic concentrator Multiple computers are connected to network through it. An incoming packet is broadcasted to all out going port irrespective of the destination port that leads to congestion in network and results in low throughput. OPM 6 Router Layer 3 device used for routing purpose to route traffic from one network to another network or one subnetwork to another subnetwork. OPM 9 Bridge It is used to interconnect same type of networks. Example: One WiFi network to another WiFi network etc.

    Networking Devices / components

    Connecting wires Hub Switch Router Gateway Server Bridge

    OPM

    Connecting Wires
    These days RJ45 cable is used for computer network. It contains 8 twisted wires in four pairs.

    OPM

    Connection techniques
    Straight connection Cross connection The position of wires at both the end are identical.

    OPM

    Cross connection Technique


    Used to connect same type of devices like computer to computer, switch to switch etc.

    Note: If there is auto MDI/MDI-X feature support on the switch / hub / network card or other network devices, the crossover function would be enabled automatically when it's needed.
    OPM 4

    Hub
    Works as traffic concentrator
    Multiple computers are connected to network through it. An incoming packet is broadcasted to all out going port irrespective of the destination port that leads to congestion in network and results in low throughput.

    OPM

    Switch
    Works as traffic concentrator Multiple computers are connected to network through it. An incoming packet is forwarded to the destination port only, results in better connectivity higher throughput and low congestion in network.
    The above feature makes switch an intelligent device Switch is preferred over a Hub. L2 and L3 switches available in market along with managed and unmanaged features.
    OPM 6

    Router
    Layer 3 device Used for routing purpose To route traffic from one network to another network or one subnetwork to another subnetwork.
    Its an intelligent device

    Wired router and wireless router (WiFi router)

    OPM

    Gateway
    Used to specify exit and entry point of a network to another network.
    It is also used to interconnect different type of networks like Internet to ATM network etc.

    OPM

    Server
    Server system ( application software + hardware) A simple computer can be used to make it a server As per requirement and size of the network, devices with higher computing capability with more memory backup may be required. DHCP server Proxy server Web cashing server Network management system (network server) Mailing server Web hosting server Banking server etc.
    OPM 9

    Bridge
    It is used to interconnect same type of networks.
    Example: One WiFi network to another WiFi network etc. So this device works as intermediate device / Relay.
