Gateway: device sitting at a network node for interfacing with another network that uses different protocols. Works on OSI layers 4 to 7.
Router: a specialized network device that determines the next network point to which to forward a data packet toward its destination. Unlike a gateway, it cannot interface different protocols. Works on OSI layer 3. Bridge: a device that connects multiple network segments along the data link layer. Works on OSI layer 2. Switch: a device that allocates traffic from one network segment to certain lines (intended destination(s)) which connect the segment to another network segment. So unlike a hub a switch splits the network traffic and sends it to different destinations rather than to all systems on the network. Works on OSI layer 2.

2. VLAN (VIRTUAL LAN) CONFIGURATION:-VLAN project is provide the following features: Improved Administration Efficiency Virtual Groups Reduction of Routing for Broadcast Containment Enhanced Network Security
3. DHCP (DYNAMIC HOST CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL):-The dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) project allows devices to dynamically acquire their addressing information. DHCP is actually based on BOOTP. It is built on a client/server model. Some advantages of using DHCP are the followings:
4. ACL (ACCESS CONTROL LIST) CONFIGURATION:-This project is based on when implementing security policies. Access list is used to filtering unwanted packets.
