© 2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. Repeaters Repeater Repeaters extend the maximum allowed distance between nodes. telnet Repeaters Repeaters repeat a signal from one port to another. Repeaters pass all traffic through without error checking or filtering.. Repeaters pass collisions, too. Repeaters are used primarily to overcome maximum segment length restrictions. H3065S F.00 © 2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
© 2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. Hubs Hub Hubs make it very easy to add and remove hosts on a network. telnet Hubs… Hubs propagate a signal received on one port to all other ports.. Hubs propagate errors and collisions across ports, too. Hubs simplify the addition and removal of nodes on a LAN. Hubs are also used to connect network segments cabled with different media types.

Bridges Bridge Hub Hub Bridges make it possible to segment your network into separate collision domains to minimize collisions and improve performance. telnet telnet Separate Collision Domains Bridges Bridges provide all the functionality of a hub, PLUS ... Bridges filter frames by destination MAC, and segment a LAN into multiple collision domains. Bridges filter signal and timing errors. Bridges can be used to connect segments operating at different speeds. H3065S F.00 © 2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
© 2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. Switches Switch Switches are similar to bridges, but offer multiple parallel communication channels across ports for improved performance. telnet telnet Switches Switches provide all the functionality of a bridge PLUS ... Switches typically offer more ports than bridges. Switches allow for multiple, parallel channels of communication between ports. Switches sometimes offer “full-duplex” functionality. Switches are replacing both bridges and hubs in many modern networks. H3065S F.00 © 2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
© 2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. Routers and Gateways Router Router Router Gateway Router Mainframe Routers and Gateways Routers use IP addresses to route data between networks. Routers can be used to connect different network types. Routers don’t forward broadcast packets; broadcast packets are dropped. Gateways are used to connect dissimilar networks over all 7 OSI layers H3065S F.00 © 2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
© 2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. Firewalls Internet Firewall Firewalls make it possible to control access to and from your local area network. Firewalls Firewalls determine what traffic is allowed in and out of your network. Firewalls may filter packets by IP or port number. Firewalls may log what packets are sent to and from whom. Firewalls use these and many other features to improve network security. H3065S F.00 © 2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
