Question

Identify a network that you are familiar with at home or at work. List at least 3 hardware components. What do they each do? You do not need to cite and reference but you do need to explain how they are used

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In my work environment, we have a small network that is built using three main pieces of hardware. These are a small server, a modem, and a router. Each of these pieces of hardware serves a different role in the network.

The Server holds all of the information that can be accessed by anyone connected to the network. This includes adding and pulling information from it.

The Modem is what sends and grabs information to and from the internet, as well as analyzes it and decrypts it so that it can be read.

The Router grabs the information from the Modem and distributes it to the correct user device that is connected to the network. This device is a hub where all personal devices can connect to the network.
