Network Hardware - Hub
Hub
 An unintelligent network device that sends one
signal to all of the stations connected to it.
 All computers/devices are competing for
attention because it takes the data that comes
into a port and sends it out all the other ports in
the hub.
 Traditionally, hubs are used for star topology
networks, but they are often used with other
configurations to make it easy to add and
remove computers without bringing down the
network.

Multilayer Switching
 Multilayer switching is a generic term, referring to any switch that
forwards traffic at layers higher than Layer-2. Thus, a Layer-3
switch is considered a multilayer switch, as it forwards frames at
Layer-2 and packets at Layer-3.
 A Layer-4 switch provides the same functionality as a Layer-3
switch, but will additionally examine and cache Transport-layer
application flow information, such as the TCP or UDP port.
 Some advanced multilayer switches can provide load balancing,
content management, and other application-level services. These
switches are sometimes referred to as Layer-7 switches.

Remember That!
Routers separate broadcast and collision domains.
Switches separate collision domains.
Hubs belong to only one collision domain.
Switches and hubs both only belong to one
broadcast domain.
VLANs – A Layer-2 or Layer-3 Function?
 By default, a switch will forward both broadcasts and multicasts out every
port but the originating port.
 However, a switch can be logically segmented into multiple broadcast
domains, using Virtual LANs (or VLANs).
 Broadcasts from one VLAN will not be forwarded to another VLAN. The
logical separation provided by VLANs is not a Layer-3 function. VLAN tags
are inserted into the Layer-2 header.
 Remember, though VLANs provide separation for Layer-3 broadcast
domains, they are still a Layer-2 function.

Network Hardware
Router
 A device that connects any number of LANs.
 Uses standardized protocols to move packets
efficiently to their destination.
 More sophisticated than bridges, connecting
networks of different types (for example, star and
token ring)
 Forwards data depending on the Network
address (IP), not the Hardware (MAC) address.
 Routers are the only one of these four devices
that will allow you to share a single IP address
among multiple network clients.

    VLANs – ALayer-2 or Layer-3 Function?  By default, a switch will forward both broadcasts and multicasts out every port but the originating port.  However, a switch can be logically segmented into multiple broadcast domains, using Virtual LANs (or VLANs).  Broadcasts from one VLAN will not be forwarded to another VLAN. The logical separation provided by VLANs is not a Layer-3 function. VLAN tags are inserted into the Layer-2 header.  Remember, though VLANs provide separation for Layer-3 broadcast domains, they are still a Layer-2 function.
