Differentiate b/w HUB and REPEATER?
Ans. Repeaters:
Classic Ethernet, for example, was designed to allow four repeaters that would boost the
Hub:
A hub has a number of input lines that it joins electrically. Active hub and passive hub
are two types of hubs.
Frames arriving on any of the lines are sent out on all the others. It is broadcast device. If
two frames arrive at the same time, they will collide, just as on a coaxial cable.
All the lines coming into a hub must operate at the same speed. Hubs differ from
repeaters in that they do not boost the incoming signals and are designed for multiple
input lines, but the differences are slight.
Like repeaters, hubs are physical layer devices that do not examine the link layer
addresses or use them in any way. It is not an intelligent device.
Differentiate b/w BRIDGE and SWITCH?
Ans.
Bridge:
signal to extend the maximum cable length from 500 meters to 2500 meters.
Switches are modern bridges by another name. It acts as multiport bridge to connect
devices or segments in a LAN. It operates at data link layer.
It is point to point device.
It is an intelligent device. It uses switching table to find the correct destination.
Switches are of two types:
i. Store-and-forward switch: It stores the frame in the input buffer until the whole packet has
arrived.
ii. Cut-through switch: It forwards the packet to the output buffer as soon as the destination
address is received.
Also there are layer 2 (bridge) and layer 3 switches (kind of router). It is sophisticated
and expensive device.

Router:
Routers are devices that connect two or more networks. It operates at network layer.
They consist of a combination of hardware and software.
The hardware can be a network server, a separate computer or a special device. The
hardware includes the physical interfaces to the various networks in the internetwork.
These interfaces can be Token Ring, Ethernet, T1, Frame Relay, ATM or any other
technology.
The software in a router are the operating system and the routing protocol. Management
software can also be used.
Routers use logical and physical addressing to connect two or more logically separate
networks.
The network address allows routers to calculate the optimal path to a workstation or
computer.
The two methods of route discovery are Distance vector routing and Link state routing
