COMPUTER NETWORK HARDWARE ARE FUNDAMENTAL

Computer Network Hardware
To run the network, there are some components of equipment or computer network hardware and configuration must be done so that computer networks can exis. However, in this article, we will discuss the basic components exist in a network.

Types of Computer Network Hardware

Network Interface Card (NIC)
Network Interface Card is a computer networking hardware that is primarily used to make the connection between the computer to computer or network hardware such as hubs, switches and so forth. NIC inidipasang the expansion slot on the motherboard and is used to access the network using a medium such as cable and radio waves. There are several types of NICs, such as Wireless NIC, Token Ring NIC and NIC Etehernet.


HUB & repeaters
Hub and Repeater is an electronic component that receives the data, clean up all the distractions, make back the received data and subsequently send back datake purposes. The use of hubs and repeaters is only used when the medium (cable ataugelombang) has reached a maximum level. For example, one network cable hanyabisa mengahantar the data as far as 100m, while the intended purpose anyway adalah155m away. Such functions stated above, hubs and repeaters will be installed at a distance of mid to mengamplikasikan received data.

switches
Switch is a device that filters and mengforward datagram between ports. As the picture above, the switches have more ports than hubs and repeaters. Frame switches make forwarding decisions based on MAC addresses.

A router is a
computer networking hardware forwarding the data packet in a networked. A router checks the data packet for the purpose and that purpose tersebut.Kalau data protocol is in the network, the router will send a data packet towards the destination. which is aimed. Router is different from the switches because the router forwarding the data packet while the switch only between port forwarding.
