Networking devices


Common basic networking devices

·         Router: a specialized network device that determines the next network point to which it can forward a data packet towards the destination of the packet. Unlike a gateway, it cannot interface different protocols.
·         Bridge: a device that connects multiple network segments along the data link layer.
·         Switch: a device that allocates traffic from one network segment to certain lines (intended destination(s)) which connect the segment to another network segment. So unlike a hub a switch splits the network traffic and sends it to different destinations rather than to all systems on the network.
·         Hub: connects multiple Ethernet segments together making them act as a single segment. When using a hub, every attached all the objects, compared to switches, which provide a dedicated connection between individual nodes.
·          Repeater: device to amplify or regenerate digital signals received while sending them from one part of a network into another.
·         Modem: device that modulates an analog "carrier" signal (such as sound), to encoded digital information, and that also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information, as a computer communicating with another computer over the telephone network
·         RJ45 Connector: may refer to a registered jack connector and wiring pattern used for connection of a high-speed modem to a telephone network using a keyed 8P8C(8 position 8 contact) modular connector

Program for Checking whether the given number is Palindrome or not

Palindrome means a number which remains same if positions of its digits is reversed i.e., 1221 #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int n,digit,rev=0,num; printf("enter the number"); scanf("%d",&num); n=num; do { digit=num%10; rev=rev*10+digit; num/=10; }while(num!=0); printf("reverse number is=%d\n",rev); if(n==rev) { printf("number is palindrome"); } else { printf("number is not palindrome") ; } getch(); }
