Working of Hub, Switch and Router.

This document contains the lab file for Nishant Raj's experiment on interworking essentials. The experiment aims to understand the working of a hub, switch, and router. For hubs, the learning outcomes are that they broadcast data to all connected devices, are less sophisticated than switches, and are best for small networks. For switches, the learning outcomes are that they connect devices and use packet switching, effectively doubling network speed compared to hubs. For routers, the learning outcomes are that they receive and send network data, combine functions to improve internet access, and establish internetwork communications through addressing and hierarchy.

INTERWORKING ESSENTIALS

Name: Nishant Raj


Registration no: 12116660
Class Roll no: RK21SPA19
Section: K21SP
Group: 1

Experiment-1
Aim: working of Hub, Switch and Router
Software used: Cisco packet tracer
Learning Objective:
1. To understand the working of Hub
2. to understand the working of Switch
3. to understand the working of router
HUB:
Theory
A network hub is a node that broadcasts data to every computer or Ethernet-
based device connected to it. A hub is less sophisticated than a switch, the latter
of which can isolate data transmissions to specific devices. Network hubs are
best suited for small, simple local area network (LAN) environments.
Hubs cannot provide routing capabilities or other advanced network services.
Because they operate by forwarding packets across all ports indiscriminately,
network hubs are sometimes referred to as "dumb switches."

Procedure:
Step 1: Create a network scenario taking a generic hub and few PCs.
Step 2: Configure PCs with IP addresses
STEP 3: Check network connectivity by transferring packet

Learning outcome;
1: A network hub is a node that broadcasts data to every computer or Ethernet-
based device connected to it

2: A hub is less sophisticated than a switch, the latter of which can isolate data
transmissions to specific devices

3: Network hubs are best suited for small, simple local area network (LAN)
environments.
Switch: Switches are networking devices operating at layer 2 or a data link
layer of the OSI model. They connect devices in a network and use packet
switching to send, receive or forward data packets or data frames over the
network.

Switches are networking devices operating at layer 2 or a data link layer of the
OSI model. They connect devices in a network and use packet switching to
send, receive or forward data packets or data frames over the network.

Procedure:
Step1: Create a network scenario taking a generic switch and few PCs
Step 2: Configure PCs with IP addresses
STEP 3: Check network connectivity by transferring packet

Learning Outcome:
1: A network switch connects devices (such as computers, printers, wireless
access points) in a network to each other, and allows them to 'talk' by
exchanging data packets.
2: Switches can be hardware devices that manage physical networks, as well as
software-based virtual devices.

3: Switches effectively double the speed of the network when compared to


hubs, which only support half duplex mode. 
Router : A router receives and sends data on computer networks. Routers are
sometimes confused with network hubs, modems, or network switches.
However, routers can combine the functions of these components, and connect
with these devices, to improve Internet access or help create business networks.

Step1: Create a network scenario taking a generic Router and few PCs
Step 2: Configure PCs with IP addresses
Step 3: Configure Router with IP addresses
STEP 4: Check network connectivity by transferring packet

Learning Outcome :

1: A router receives and sends data on computer networks. Routers are


sometimes confused with network hubs, modems, or network switches.

2: However, routers can combine the functions of these components, and


connect with these devices, to improve Internet access or help create business
networks.

3: At the simplest level, routing establishes basic internetwork communications,


implements an addressing structure that uniquely identifies each device, and
organizes individual devices into a hierarchical network structure.
