What are the different type of networking / internetworking devices..

Answer / Nripendra Chandra Verma

Networking and internetworking devices include Routers, Switches, Bridges, Hubs, Gateways, Modems, Repeaters, and Firewalls. Routers forward data packets between networks. Switches connect multiple devices within a single network. Bridges are used to connect two or more LANs together. Hubs are a type of multiport repeater that forwards all incoming packets to all connected devices. Gateways connect different types of networks and translate between them. Modems convert digital data from computers into analog signals suitable for transmission over phone lines. Repeaters are used to extend the distance of a network by amplifying or regenerating the signal. Firewalls control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.
