π Introduction to Network Devices
The video script begins with an introduction to various network devices used in networking. The first device discussed is the repeater, which is responsible for regenerating signals to maintain their strength and prevent corruption as they travel through a network. Next, the script mentions the hub, a device that transmits data packets to all connected devices without any filtering or routing capabilities. The explanation highlights the basic functions of these devices and their roles in a network infrastructure.
π Advanced Network Devices: Bridge, Switch, and Router
This paragraph delves into more sophisticated network devices, starting with the bridge, which interconnects two networks operating on the same protocol at the data link layer. The script then describes the switch, which adds functionality to the repeater by performing error checking and forwarding only error-free data packets to the correct ports. The router is introduced as a device that collects data and routes it to different ports based on IP addresses, utilizing routing algorithms to select the best path for data transmission. The router operates at the network layer and dynamically changes routing from one packet to another, ensuring efficient data transfer.
πͺ The Gateway: Protocol Conversion and Inter-network Communication
The final paragraph introduces the gateway, which serves as an interconnection point between networks that operate on different protocols or network models. The gateway, also known as a protocol converter, interprets data and sends it to its destination across different networking models, such as the OSI model and TCP/IP model. The script emphasizes the gateway's role in facilitating data transfer between diverse network environments, thus concluding the overview of basic network devices and their functionalities.

hello friends
welcome back to our channel so in
today's session we will see about
the network devices used in the
networking
so these are the major network devices
which are going to use in the networking
so we have
frequently using these devices right
so in that the first one is
repeater so this repeater is used
to regenerate the signal
so the signal will be sending from one
system to another system in the network
so after some time the signal will be
becoming a weak or the signal may be
corrupted so in order to avoid those
things
so every time the signal will be
regenerated
the bit by bit regeneration will be done
by using this
repeater okay so
regenerating a signal
to maintain
signal strength
in order to avoid the corruption of the
signal right so
before becoming the signal weak or
corrupted
the signal will be regenerated so that
will be done
with the help of this repeater and the
next one is
hub hub
so hub will be used to send the data
packets
to all the connected devices so
different devices will be connected to a
central unit that is called hub
and whatever the data received in this
hub
that will transfer the packets to all
the connected devices
okay so used to
transmit data packets
to all connected devices
so it doesn't have any filtering option
so it doesn't
verify anything just it will
send the data packets which have been
received by this hub
to all the connected devices right
there is no routing there is no path or
there is no
any other filtering options here right
so this is hub
and the next one is
bridge this bridge is mainly used to
interconnect two different lands in the
same protocol
working on a same protocol so
interconnecting
two lands working on
working on same
protocol okay same protocol and this
will be used in
data link layer data link
layer and this is in physical layer this
repeater will be operated in
physical layer
right so a bridge the name itself
indicates so that will be acting as an
interference i mean
intermediate between two different
networks which are operated in the same
protocol on same protocol so working on
same protocol
and the next one
switch so switch is similar to our
repeater with some additional
functionality so what is that additional
functionality
so switch will
send only the correct and good data
packets to the ports
and whatever the error if the packets
contain some error
automatically those packets will be
ignored by this switch
so error checking will be done here okay
switch
in switch so error checking will be done
error checking so what kind of error
checking so
good data packets
good data packets can send
to correct
port
right and data packets
data packets with errors
will not be forwarded
will not be forwarded so those packets
will be ignored
will not be forwarded right so those
packets will be ignored
there itself and
the next one
router so router will
collect the data and it will send
to the different ports based upon the
ipads so based upon the ip address the
data will be sent to
the destination right so by using
the different routing algorithms so all
the routing algorithms will be here
and the routing will be done here and
the best routing path it will select the
best
routing path and through that routing
path the data packets will be sent to
the
destination so that will be done by the
router
okay
so packets will be
routed to
destinations
in best
routing path and here
dynamically
routing will be decided
okay dynamically the routing will be
changed
from one packet to another bracket so it
will select the best path
and through the best path the routing
will be done
in this router and this will be operated
in
network layer network
layer this will be operate operated in
network
layer right so this will be in the
physical layer this will be in the data
link layer and this will be in the
network layer right so repeater hub
bridge switch and router now the next
one is
gateway
gateway so the name itself indicate
gateway
it passes the data from one
uh i mean from one network to another
network which are
uh handling in the different protocols
which are using the different protocols
or a different network models right
so here
passing data to the networks
of different
networking models
so we are having different networking
modes just like our
osa model and tcp model right
so here the passing of data that means
the interconnection between the two
different
models network models so first we will
get the data and that will be
interpreted and that will be sent to the
destination
right so that is the usage of
this gateway so these are the basic
network devices
we will use in the networking so
repeaters
hub bridge switch and router right
so repeater simply it will
regenerate the signal and hub will
simply transmit the data packets to
all the ports or all the connected
devices and coming to the bridge based
upon the mac address
so it will connect i mean the data will
be processed and
it is nothing but an interconnection
between two different lands working in
the same protocol
right and coming to the switch here the
error checking will be done
and whatever the packets which which are
having the errors will be ignored here
itself
and only the good data package that
means without any error the data packets
will be transferred to the destination
port
so correctly and the coming to the
router the packets will be routed to the
destination source to destination in the
best
routing part and here there will be a
dynamic routing
based upon the different routing
algorithms so
this is working on network layer right
in the network layer and finally the
gateway which is
used to interconnect two different
network models
okay so if you want to pass the data
from one network model to another
network model
then we'll go with the gateway so this
is also called as protocol converter
this is also called as protocol
converter because
two different protocols will be used and
we are communicating the data between
two different protocols
right protocol converter
right so hope you understood this one so
these are the basic
network devices so used in the
networking
so let's stop here and uh hope you got
an idea about these network devices what
is what
and if you are having any doubts
regarding this one feel free to post
your doubts in the comment section
definitely i will try to clarify
all your jobs and if you really
