Cons?
• Switches
• A switch serves as a controller, enabling networked devices to talk to each other
efficiently. A switches use to connect computers, printers, phones, cameras,
lights, and servers in a building or campus.
• Just like Hub and Bridge, Switch is also used to connect the multiple devices
together in a LAN segment. Basically, a Switch is the upgraded version of the
Bridge. Besides providing all the functionalities of Bridge, it also offers several
additional features.
• Routers
• When a device in a Local Area Network needs to communicate with a device on
another LAN, it must send that traffic to a specialized device connected to the
LAN called a “router” whose purpose is to find the best path for the message to
take to arrive at the intended target device, and to send the message along its
way following that path.
• Routers are the network devices that route packets between networks. These
Layer 3 devices enable everything from communication between multiple
subnets within the same WAN to the internet connection that allows you to read
this article. A good way to think of routers is this: They are the network device
that deals with IP addresses.
• Modem
• In simple language, a Modem is the device that is used to connect with the
Internet. Technically, it is the device that enables the digital data to be
transmitted over the telecommunication lines.
• A Telco company uses entirely different data transmission technology from the
technology that a PC uses for the data transmission. A modem understands both
technologies. It changes the technology that a PC uses, in the technology which
Telco Company understands.
• It enables communication between the PC (Known as the DTE device) and the
Telecom company' office (Known as the DCE device).
