- 7What is the purpose of a Wireless Access Point?A wireless access point (WAP) is a hardware device or configured node on a local area network (LAN) that allows wireless capable devices and wired networks to connect through a wireless standard, including Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
- 8What is the purpose of a Router?The main purpose of a router is to connect multiple networks and forward packets destined either for its own networks or other networks. A router is considered a layer-3 device because its primary forwarding decision is based on the information in the layer-3 IP packet, specifically the destination IP address.
- 9What is the purpose of a Switch?A Network Switch is a constituent of computer network that connects two network slices and/or two network devices (switches or routers) together. Switch can be termed as a network bridge with multiple ports which helps to process and route packets at data link layer of the OSI reference model.9
- 10What is the purpose of a Hub?A hub, also called a network hub, is a common connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are devices commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. The hub contains multiple ports. When a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
- 11What is the purpose of a Server?What Is the Purpose of a Computer Server? A server is a computer used in a network and which provides a service to a client. Servers usually have more processing power, memory and storage than client computers.
