Networking Devices: Router, Hubs, Switches

What is the primary function of a Hub in a network?

• To connect devices in a network and direct data to specific destinations

• To amplify signals and extend the network range

• To transmit data to all devices connected to it, regardless of the destination

• To route data between different networks

Which of the following is true about a Switch?

• It forwards data to all devices in the network

• It operates at the data link layer and uses MAC addresses for forwarding data

• It amplifies signals to extend network range

• It connects different networks together

How does a Router function in a network?

• It connects devices within a single network and forwards data using MAC addresses

• It directs data between different networks based on IP addresses

• It amplifies and extends the signal between devices

• It forwards data to all connected devices

Which device is used to connect multiple networks together?

• Hub

• Switch

• Router

• Repeater

Which device would be best suited for a large network with high traffic and multiple devices needing specific communication?

• Hub

• Switch

• Router

• Repeater

Which of the following is true about a Router?

• It only works within a local area network (LAN)

• It uses MAC addresses to forward packets

• It operates at the network layer and uses IP addresses to route data

• It forwards data to all devices within a network

What is the main advantage of using a Switch over a Hub in a network?

• Switches can route traffic between different networks, while Hubs cannot

• Switches use IP addresses to forward data, while Hubs use MAC addresses

• Switches prevent network collisions by directing data only to the correct device

• Switches can amplify network signals

Which of the following best describes the role of a Hub in a network?

• A Hub operates at the physical layer and simply repeats the signal to all devices connected to it

• A Hub operates at the network layer and forwards data based on IP addresses

• A Hub operates at the data link layer and forwards data based on MAC addresses

If two devices in a network need to communicate with each other, which device would be the most efficient choice to connect them directly?

• Hub

• Switch

• Router

• Repeater

Which device operates at the data link layer of the OSI model?

• Hub

• Switch

• Router

• Repeater
