Network Diagram

Network devices connect electronic devices together to share resources. Basic network devices include computers, hubs, switches, routers, bridges, firewalls, servers, and cables. A network diagram provides planning, security, and flexibility by mapping the physical and logical network topology using common symbols like communication links, wireless access points, gateways, switches, cables, and servers. Software like SmartDraw, Edraw, Visio, and ConceptDraw can be used to create professional-looking network diagrams.

NETWORK DEVICE

Network devices are components used to connect computers or


other electronic devices together so that they can share files or
resources like printers or fax machines.
Basic network devices

• A Computer
• A hub
• A switch
• A router
• A bridge
• A firewall
• A server
• Cables
Why to go for a network diagram?

Network diagram: provides


• Planning
• Security
• Flexibility
 Physical network topology

 Logical network topology


Topology
A computer
Hubs:
Connects multiple Ethernet segments together making
them act as a single segment. Works on OSI layer 1.

100baseT hub
Switches

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.
Switch ISDN switch

Switch image Stack of the switch


ROUTERS:

A device that forwards data packets along networks. A


router is connected to at least two networks, commonly
two LANs or WANs .
Routers use the logic network address such as IP address to
make decisions.

Router Wireless Router


FIREWALL
A piece of hardware or software put on the
network to prevent some communications
forbidden by the network policy.

Firewall Router Firewall


server
• A computer on a network or other network
device that stores all necessary information
and is dedicated to provide a particular
service.

Communication link Wireless Access point

Gateway
ATM switch
• ATM uses a connection-oriented model in
which a virtual circuitmust be established
between two endpoints before the actual data
exchange begins

• Gateway- a computer or a network that allows


or controls access to another computer or
network

Twisted pair cable


• Twisted pair cabling is a type of wiring in which two
conductors are twisted together for the purposes of canceling
out electromagnetic interference

• Coaxial cable is the kind of copper cable used by cable TV


companies between the community antenna and user homes
and businesses. 

• Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting


information from one place to another by sending pulses
of light through an optical fiber
