State the purpose of network hardware : Cables and Connectors

The video tutorial explains the basics of Ethernet and LAN, highlighting their limitations in handling large networks. It introduces the concept of WAN and logical addressing, emphasizing the need for routers to interconnect multiple LANs. The tutorial also covers IP addressing, particularly in home networks, and discusses the role of DHCP in automating network configuration. The key takeaway is understanding the difference between physical (MAC) and logical (IP) addresses.
