Router(symbol)
circle with 2 arrows in & 2 arrows out
Switch(symbol)
square with two arrows facing left & 2 facing right.
HUB(symbol)
square with double-sided arrow (pointing left & right)
Server(symbol)
3-D rectangle.
Bridge(symbol)
square with sunken top.
Ethernet/LAN(symbol)
solid line
WAN(symbol)
lightning bolt
Hardware firewall(symbol)
3-D brick wall
Repeater
amplifies a signal
Multiplexer(MUX)
turns many inputs into one output
Modem
changes signal from WAN to LAN
wireless access point(WAP)
self-explanatory
wireless range extender
similar to repeater - amplifies signal
Bridge
old version of a switch (predecessor of modern switches). It’s called a bridge because there’s only 2 ends. Connects one network segment to only one other
Network interface card(NIC)
allows a device to connect to the internet
Network address translator(NAT)
translates private IP to public IP address & vice versa.
Bus topology
every component/computer shares the same line. Only one device at a time can send a signal over the bus
ring topology
like a bus but both ends are connected in a circle. devices use tokens to communicate. used when devices must run in a particular order, like a nuclear power plant.
star topology
HUB or switch in middle and all devices connected to it. Device sends signal to HUB. once it receives a signal/packet in a port, it will distribute it to all other ports on the network. not very efficient. Physically a star but logically a bus
HUB & spoke
only used for routers
full mesh
All nodes connected to all others. number of links = n(n-1)/2 where n is the number of nodes
client/server (C/S) mode
client requests a service from server
Peer-to-peer (P2P)
both nodes function as a client & server
Which layers can communicate with each other in the OSI model?
Only neighboring layers
port for world wide web
